Is it good to drink Yakult before bedtime?

Drinking Yakult before bedtime is not advisable. The optimal time to consume Yakult is approximately two hours after a daytime meal. During the evening and night, the body’s metabolic rate slows down and gastrointestinal function weakens; thus, consuming Yakult right before sleep may lead to indigestion, causing symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Additionally, Yakult contains a relatively high water content; long-term consumption before bed may result in morning edema upon waking.
