The health effect of eating late at night

[Sotherefore]

Eating at night causes constipation and slow digestion. It's not healthy to be keeping late night eating, there are many other complications to it other than the ones I've mentioned here.

Well sometimes this is what I always try to avoid because I know it is not the best I can even cause indigestion just like you said and can also lead to acid reflux... This is what they are saying, it can't at the same time lead to weight increments, which is good to most people

In my family, my parents used to come back late then so we always had late nights dinner but most times we had constipation and realized it was because our foods were not digesting before we ate so now we plan on how we eat early everyday.

Well, some people do stay it causes protruded stomach which might be right or not but all I know is that it leads to indigestion. Many health practitioners will always advice against that although people around here will always be adamant to this kind of warnings.

As far as I know, eating late at night could make you gain weight because you don't have much time to burn the calories. You're probably getting ready for bed so there's no chance at all to be active and to use up all those extra calories. True enough, I gained weight when I started working online during the night because I had to eat to stay awake and to support my body's extra needs.

The body takes at least four hours to digest food and at least six hours if fest to recuperate, eating late may disrupt this health cycle because you may sleep before your food digests which would disrupt your sleep

But unfortunately we find ourselves in an unfriendly environment that allows us work late thereby eating late and breaking some health rules which is why it's good to go for medical checkups to know how one should adjust and necessary medications.

 

[Sotherefore]

This is what I always try to overcome because I know it's really dangerous and might not really be the best for the body but sometimes some situation always push us to eat late at night and there's nothing we can do... But we should always try to prevent it as much as possible.

Well, I don't know if it is actually scientifically proven that there are any disastrous effect of eating at night, as with the different time zones a person who left Nigeria let's say at night and spend hours on a plane to arrive England at night wouldn't it be good for the person to get a good meal at that hour, does the health effect apply in such situations?

 

[Achawaskey]

The only reason why eating food late is not good is because of digestion, it is the advice that comes from medical practitioners, perhaps, there are those who prefer eating late and the reason best known to them.

Usually after I eat fried or even none fried food at night I get a few heatburns which are really annoying and sometimes force me to get out of bed and drink a soda drink in order to reduce the pain. It can also cause a night poop which is annoying when you are really tired and wants to have a nice sleep without any distractions.

Having heavy food at late night would put our stomachs to work late-night. Our Stomach would take approximately 3 to 4 hrs to process and digest the foods this would delay our sleep cycle. And many would face insomnia because of this. With a disturbed sleep cycle, our overall physical health and mental health are damaged. Would face mood swings due to the lack of sleep and late-night food consumption would increase the fat retention in the body would trigger other consequences such as high cholesterol levels in the body. So to main good health eat early, eat light food at night. Do regular physical exercises.
