Eating dinner at 5 p.m. may be healthier, study says
A new study by Harvard Medical School researchers at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital
The research, published in Cell Metabolism, found that the time of day we eat affects our hunger and appetite, energy levels and how the body stores fat.“In this study, we asked, ‘Does the time that we eat matter when everything else is kept consistent?’” In the two to three weeks leading up to the study, participants had to maintain a strict sleeping and wake-up schedule, and in the last three days prior, they followed identical diets and meal schedules.
Eating later more than doubled the likelihood of increased hunger and generated lower levels of the hormone leptin, which is produced when we are full."We found that eating four hours later makes a significant difference for our hunger levels, the way we burn calories after we eat, and the way we store fat.”
