Are you guilty of eating late night dinner due to a busy lifestyle or are you simply fond of a midnight snack? These late night eating habits could have a negative impact not just on your body weight, but on your heart health as well.
A study done by the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, confirms that eating late-night meals could have various negative health effects. Eating late at night has also been associated with weight gain.
Some factors that may lead you to eat late at night are stress, consuming unhealthy fats during the day and not eating enough all day long. Eating late at night can lead to several health hazards like increase in blood sugar levels, heart diseases, obesity and acidity.
Basically, the later you eat, the less your body is prepared to sleep, which can also have adverse effects on your memory and efficiency for the next day.
