Washington [US], October 5 (ANI): Obesity afflicts approximately 42 percent of the U.S. adult population and contributes to the onset of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and other conditions. While popular healthy diet mantras advise against midnight snacking, few studies have comprehensively investigated the simultaneous effects of late eating on the three main players in body weight regulation and thus obesity risk: regulation of calorie intake, the number of calories you burn, and molecular changes in fat tissue. A new study provides experimental evidence that late eating causes decreased energy expenditure, increased hunger, and changes in fat tissue that combined may increase obesity risk.
Massachusetts [US], January 26 (ANI): We live in a day and age where very young children also get diagnosed with diabetes, despite being perfectly healthy. Blood sugar control, which is impaired in people with diabetes, is affected by factors like timing of meals relative to sleep and levels of melatonin, a hormone released at night that helps control sleep-wake cycles.
