Late-Night Eating Linked to Gut Health Issues in New Study
A recent study presented at Digestive Disease Week suggests that consuming more than 25% of daily calories after 9 p.m. while under stress may lead to abnormal bowel habits such as constipation or diarrhea. The research, which analyzed data from over 11,000 participants, indicates that late-night eating combined with stress can negatively impact gut health. The study found that this combination is associated with a lower diversity of gut bacteria, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy digestive system. The findings highlight the potential risks of late-night eating habits, particularly when coupled with stress.
