Is there any truth to this? Dietitians and researchers are debunking myths about late-night eating, metabolism, and why what you do throughout the day is truly certain foods right before bed will not magically increase your metabolism or help you lose weight while sleeping. In fact, it can disturb sleep and cause acid reflux. According to experts, long-term habits such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are far more important for metabolism than a bedtime on social media have described how eating specific foods, such as protein-rich foods, right before bed can "boost your metabolism," which in this context appears to be a euphemism for assisting in rapid weight Nadeau, RD, a dietitian, discusses our current understanding of foods that increase a few small studies suggest that eating protein right before bed may help increase metabolism and aid in the recovery from a workout, experts say there is much more evidence that eating anything right before bed is bad for your health Although it has been demonstrated that other foods, such as hot peppers, caffeine, and unrefined carbohydrates found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, can momentarily increase metabolism, none of them are especially good at doing so while you're asleep, according to Nadeau."It's much more important for metabolism to work on long-term health strategies like building muscle, staying active, getting quality sleep and prioritizing a nutrient-dense balanced diet," she right before bed not only doesn't provide the health advantages that some people say it does, but it can also negatively affect other aspects of your health, which can make it harder to metabolize food and lose to Nadeau, there are no foods that can speed up metabolism before bed.

Thousands of lobsters released in Cornwall anniversary challenge
More than 1,000 baby lobsters have been released in the waters around St Michael's Mount in Cornwall as part of an anniversary 'releasathon'. The release marked the end of a challenge by The National Lobster Hatchery (NLH) to conduct 25 lobster releases in 25 locations over 25 consecutive days for its 25th anniversary. The challenge began on 19 May on the Isles of Scilly and included other releases in locations including Charlestown, Mousehole and NLH said "just shy of 5,000 juveniles" had been released in waters around Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as part of the project. The NLH was founded in Padstow in August 2000 to help preserve, research and educate the public about the European charity said it was "hugely rewarding" to collaborate with other organisations and "provide another generation of lobsters to Cornwall's coastal waters".In a post on social media, the team at St Michael's Mount thanked everyone who helped release the 1,088 baby lobsters in the surrounding water on said: "At just two months old and barely an inch long, these baby lobsters were fully developed and ready to embark on life in the wild. "Once released, some began burrowing into the sand of the rock pools, others tucked themselves beneath the sheltering seaweed, and a few wasted no time feasting on the fresh sea lettuce."Earlier in the 'releasathon' Theo Johns, senior technician at NLH, told BBC Radio Cornwall it was the "perfect point" in time to release the baby Johns said: "It's at this stage in their life cycle that they become benthic, meaning they settle on the seabed and live in there [for 12 to 18 months]."He said burrowing in the sediment was an important stage in the lobsters' lives as it helped them learn how to live in the sea.
