Late-night munchies are a common problem for many people. You may work late, the kids kept you up, you're thinking about tomorrow, or you just have been cursed with energy you don't know what to do with at 1am. It happens.
However indulging into heavy junk food, or even heavy healthy eating in general at late hours, can have a lot of negative effects on your health.
Weight Gain: Late-night snacking can contribute to weight gain as the body’s metabolism slows down during the night.
Disrupting sleep: Your body will be focused on digesting food instead of resting and repairing itself during sleep, which can lead to fatigue the next day.
Digestive problems: Late-night snacking can also cause digestive problems such as heartburn and indigestion.
It's important to remember to keep yourself well fed and not to starve yourself. However, try to avoid late hours for eating. If you're a night owl, then try and avoid eating before you go to sleep. Your body will feel better and you'll be working as your best self the next day.
