Health impacts of late-night eating habits

Overview

Research indicates that regular late-night eating is associated with a 20 to 30 percent increased risk of liver diseases, such as cirrhosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). A study by Oregon Health and Science University involving nearly 200,000 participants suggests that meal timing may be as significant as nutritional content for long-term health, potentially due to disruptions in the body's circadian rhythm.

Studies show that approximately one third of people snack in the evening, even when full, with four out of five individuals aged 18 to 24 reporting an inability to resist late-night cravings. This is partly attributed to rising levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin in the evening. Nutritionists warn that eating within two hours of bedtime can increase risks of obesity and weight gain, recommending protein and fiber-rich meals to promote satiety.
