Do you sometimes sneak a late-night snack, even after you’ve had a big dinner? Or worse, do you find yourself binging at night?
You are not alone! Many others experience the same problem. However, this habit can lead to obesity, diabetes, and depression. And emerging research is showing optimal health and graceful aging have just as much to do with when you eat as what you eat.
I’m joined by Max Lugavere on The Doctor’s Farmacy this week and we dive into the topic of late-night eating. We also discuss how getting adequate sunshine (especially in the morning), spending time in nature, and embracing some uncomfortable temperatures are all simple yet super effective methods for preventing illness.
Max is a filmmaker, health, and science journalist and the author of the New York Times bestselling book Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life. He is also the host of the #1 iTunes health podcast The Genius Life. Max is excited to release his sophomore book, The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary, a lifestyle guide to living happily and healthily with proven, research-based lifestyle tactics, which we dig into more throughout this episode.
Interesting. I also think that every individual body is different because I HAVE to have a snack every single night or I wake up horribly hungry. I am still nursing a baby and am most definitely not gaining any weight. Typically my snack is fruit, nuts, or seeds. But it helps me tremendously to eat around 7:45/8
It’s may be okay for nursing mother but for all others like me who raids fridge n cupboards for midnight binge eating n devour foods it’s not okay! Health besides guilt is much!
Needed to hear this. Thank you.
This may not be true for everyone. If you think about it, when calories are scarce in hunter gatherer tribes, maybe eating at night was the best way to go to get the most out of your food (if you gain weight)? I’ve tried my whole life to not eat at night but it doesn’t work for me. My whole life. I don’t eat breakfast and often don’t eat lunch either. I will keep trying to change my eating times but a lifetime of experience has steered me away from it for my best health to date.
I’ve been night eating my whole life.. still skinny
I love these two. OMG❤️
