This is what happens when you eat late at night
When you eat late, the calories you intake don’t get digested properly. As a result, they are stored as fat in your body. Eating late regularly conditions your body to store the calories as fat, which leads to weight gain. This can also give you problems like indigestion and heartburn. Those who eat dinner at least two hours before bed have a reduced risk of cancer. For men, there was a 26% reduced risk of prostate cancer, and for women, there was a 16% reduced risk of breast cancer.
What are the benefits of eating your dinner early?
Eating dinner early gives your body more time to stabilize blood sugar levels, which plays a role in making you feel less fatigued and irritable. Moreover, eating early gives you more energy to perform activities before bed. If you eat food just before getting into bed, food is not digested properly as lying down causes many problems like acid reflux, gas, bloating, or abdominal pain.
All these problems are symptoms of indigestion, and the more gap you leave between dinner and sleep, the better your digestive system functions.
