Late-Night eating may disrupt your Body's clock, study finds

NCT ID NCT04671797

Summary

This study aimed to understand how the timing of your last meal affects your metabolism. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University had 41 healthy young adults eat dinner either early or late relative to their personal body clock, and measured their blood sugar and fat burning overnight. The goal was to learn if eating close to bedtime is harmful, or if the harm comes from eating at the 'wrong' time for your internal clock.
