As much as you love eating late at night, be warned and beware it is among the riskiest habits. This habit is associated with some diseases you need to know.
Namni Goel, a researcher at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, with her colleagues conducted a comprehensive study and established that eating late can spark cardiovascular diseases and make you vulnerable to diabetes.
"These early findings, which control for sleep, give a more comprehensive picture of the benefits of eating earlier in the same," says Namni Goel.
"Eating late can promote a negative profile of weight, energy and hormone markers - such as higher glucose and insulin, which are implicated in diabetes, and cholesterol and triglycerides, which are linked with cardiovascular problems and other health conditions," she added.
Dr Ebru Özpelit says you should eat before 7 pm as this is for your own good. It is also a way of keeping your body as fit as a fiddle.
"We must define the ideal frequency and timing of meals because how we eat may be as important as what we eat," opines Dr Ebru Özpelit, an associate professor of cardiology
"Eating breakfast is important, we should have a strong breakfast, we shouldn’t skip lunch. We must have a small dinner and it mustn’t be later than 7 o’clock in the evening," he added
