Losing weight and burning fat can be a challenge as we age, but it doesn’t have to be. We asked Sahar Berjis, RD, MPH and founder of Inner health and well-beingwhat foods people should eat in the evening once you’re 50 or older. “At InnerHealthWellness, we focus on how natural foods, herbs, and mindful habits can support the body’s metabolic rate, especially during rest and recovery,” Berjis tells Eat This, Not That!. “After age 45 or 50, metabolism slows, but choosing the right foods before bed and adopting daily habits that balance blood sugar, support digestion and reduce inflammation can make a remarkable difference.” Here are seven of the best foods and drinks to enjoy in the evening that will help you burn fat while you sleep.
Cinnamon and cardamom tea
Not only is cinnamon and cardamom tea delicious, it helps you feel calm and comfortable, which is essential for burning fat. Studies suggest that cinnamon may help reduce inflammation. “Cinnamon and cardamom tea help balance blood sugar, calm the nervous system, and promote relaxation before bed,” says Berjis.

Hard Boiled Egg
Eggs are truly one of nature’s superfoods and are an ideal evening snack to promote satiety and promote fat burning. “A hard-boiled egg provides slow-digesting protein to keep metabolism stable and reduce muscle breakdown overnight,” according to Berjis.
Dandelion and chicory tea
Dandelion and chicory tea is a pleasant and calming evening herbal beverage that may promote weight loss. Berjis recommends this tea as a natural way to support liver health. “Dandelion and chicory tea are natural bitters that gently stimulate the liver and improve fat metabolism while you sleep,” she says.
Bitter melon
Bitter melon tea is another evening drink that can help support metabolism and burn fat overnight. This fruit vine contains compounds that can help balance blood sugar levels. “Bitter melon tea or tincture supports insulin sensitivity and encourages fat utilization,” says Berjis.
Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar mixed with warm water is an ideal drink to enjoy before bed. “Apple cider vinegar in warm water helps balance pH, support digestion, and curb overnight blood sugar spikes,” says Berjis. Enjoy a little after your last meal of the day.
Sauerkraut
This fermented cabbage is packed with health benefits, says Berjis: “Sauerkraut juice provides probiotics that improve intestinal balance and promote fat metabolism during rest. » Your gut microbiome will thank you!
Cayenne pepper
A little heat can do wonders for your metabolism. Berjis recommends cayenne pepper for a fat-burning boost overnight. “A pinch of cayenne pepper or a bitter herb spritz can slightly increase body temperature and circulation, giving metabolism a subtle nighttime boost,” she explains.
