According to the reports from the Brigham Hospital in Boston, eating at night time is never a good idea. This is because the circadian rhythm of the body gets disturbed and you are at high risk of getting diabetes. This isn’t new but the late-night cravings of eating can make people choose the food options that are extremely bad for health. The top doctors in Islamabad say that these can cause diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases very fast.
The results of the Brigham and Women’s study looked particularly at the effects of eating at night time and the impact on the body and overall blood sugar levels and then correlated it with the daytime binging. In the study, 19 individuals were studied. Those all worked nighttime shifts. It was noticed that the ones who ate their meals late at night had issues with their blood sugar level increases. The beta-cell of the pancreas also saw a decrease in functions. Both of these are potential ancestors of type 2 Diabetes.
Other participants of the study didn’t show any of the changes as they stayed up all night but ate nothing at that time. Previous studies in the past have linked late-night binging with heart arrhythmia and increased risk of cancer. Astonishingly it was also seen that the women who went through miscarriages were also seen consuming food late at night.
The primal reason for the glucose intolerance and the beta-cell function disruption was the meal timing. It was noticed that the peripheral and the central clocks were not aligned throughout the body and that became the reason for the disturbance of the blood sugar level and the pancreatic issues.

There are a lot of options that one can consume in order to fulfill the need for binging. But try to binge on these during any time of the day instead of late at night. Some of the options include;
Frozen Yogurt and Blueberry

As it is noticed that a lot of times the choice of eating snacks is quite unhealthy.If it is something sweet that you want yourself to indulge in then go for frozen yogurt and berry treat. This is a very healthy option as it contains the needed protein from the yogurt and the deadly antioxidants from the berries that work really well against the toxins present in the body.
Zucchini Chips
