This one hormone can wreak havoc on the body if one eats after dark
When the sun sets, the body's circadian rhythms shift it into rest mode, and this is the time when Melatonin levels normally rise, and remain high through the night. While melatonin is great to help relax, it may also alter the way our body handles food. Over time, this mismatch can raise the risk of diabetes, reduce insulin secretion and may even raise chronic metabolic diseases.
