Eating At This Time Raises Your Risk Of Heart Attacks And Diabetes

Don't do it. Period. - by The Morning Show
  • 09 May 2019

Midnight munchers, listen up.

When we eat, the body releases insulin - but eating at a different biological time, for example late at night, throws off the body's rhythm.

This, in turn, triggers insulin and energy that is wasted, as the body is not active.

It has the same effect that shift work and jetlag can have in the long-term, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

The study also suggests paying particular attention to meal timing and light exposure can mitigate some of the adverse effects to maintain a healthy body clock.
