Skip the Midnight Snack

A recent study showed the relationship between late night snacking and increased risks of heart disease. When given food at the beginning of their rest period, rats experienced a large spike in blood lipid levels as opposed to when they were given food at the beginning of their active phase. With this research, we can see that getting into the habit of eating late night snacks can lead to an increase in blood lipid levels, which puts us at a greater risk for heart disease. Try putting the snacks away before bed, and getting some rest and eating a well-balanced breakfast instead.
