Is Midnight Snacking Making You Obese? Know the reasons
A research on weight gain has come up with an interesting finding. A new study, authored by an Indian-origin scientist, suggests that it is not just a high-fat diet, but an extended eating time too that can contribute to your weight gain. This mainly point out the side effects and consequences of consuming midnight snacks.
Confining eating to 8-12 hour period is no longer familiar to the new generation. But, in the good old days, when people sticked to perfect healthy eating habits, problems related to obesity was less common. Midnight snacking will put you under the risk of high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.
The authors demonstrated that predictable times of eating better synchronises the function of hundreds of genes in our body.
According to the study, about 400 mice were subjected to various types of diets and time restrictions. The findings revealed that mice which were subjected to time restrictions of 9 to 12 hours gained less weight than the unrestricted ones. The findings were irrespective of the fact whether their diet were high in fat, fat and sucrose or just fructose.
KEEP A CHECK ON YOUR BMI: CUT THE RISK OF OBESITY!
Hence, if we go by the findings, we have to practise time-restricted eating habits to maintain a healthy life. Taking this into consideration, here are some of the reasons why midnight snacking, which falls beyond the time restrictions of 9 to 12 hours, is not good for your health.
Slow
digestion
During
night,
the
digestion
process
is
slow.
Midnight
snacks
will
affect
the
normal
digestion
process.
As
you
are
not
having
any
physical
exertion
during
the
night,
the
chances
of
fat
deposition
is
more.
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
how
midnight
snack
increases
obesity.
Abnormal
Circadian
rhythm
Most
of
the
hormones
in
our
body
work
in
a
rhythm
known
as
circadian
rhythm.
When
there
is
an
imbalance
in
the
rhythm,
this
will
affect
the
proper
hormone
production.
It
will
then
affect
the
overall
metabolic
process
of
the
body.
Staying
awake
in
the
midnight
and
having
snacks
is
one
of
the
obesity
reasons
that
can
put
you
at
risk
for
lifestyle
diseases.
Unhealthy
food
Most
of
the
commercially
available
snacks
contain
flavours,
additives
and
preservative
for
increasing
the
taste
and
longevity.
This
is
high
in
calories
as
well.
Regular
intake
of
these
unhealthy
snacks
increases
obesity.
Insulin
resistance
Insulin
action
follows
a
circadian
rhythm.
It
rises
and
falls
according
to
a
24-hour
rhythm.
Those
who
fail
in
keeping
a
perfect
circadian
rhythm
will
gradually
develop
an
abnormality
in
the
glucose
regulation
due
to
insulin
resistance.
This
will
increase
the
risk
of
obesity
as
well.
Eating
habit
The
extent
of
harmful
effects
of
midnight
snacks
also
depends
on
your
eating
habits.
The
reason
why
you
want
to
stay
awake
in
the
night
is
also
important.
If
it
is
for
entertaining
activities
such
as
watching
television
or
chatting
with
friends,
chances
are
more
that
you
will
have
no
control
over
snacks.
Also,
your
tendency
to
eat
fast
will
also
contribute
to
make
you
obese.
Night
cravings
There
are
many
people
who
experience
night
cravings.
One
of
the
most
important
points
here
is
to
find
out
the
reason
why
you
crave
for
food
in
the
night.
Identify
the
reason
that
keeps
you
awake
in
the
midnight
and
crave
for
food.
