4 delicious and healthy Dinner Ideas

Why a Light and Low-Calorie Dinner is Important:

A light dinner helps improve sleep and supports weight management. Consuming high-calorie meals at night can disrupt sleep as the body focuses on digestion instead of rest, leading to potential weight gain over time. Choosing light meals for dinner not only enhances sleep quality but also promotes overall health and well-being.
