- Increases Acid Reflux & Heartburn:
Lying down soon after eating can cause stomach acid to rise, leading to discomfort. - Disturbed Sleep Quality:
A full stomach can keep your body working instead of resting, making sleep lighter or more restless. - Poor Digestion:
Your digestive system slows down at night, making it harder to break down food properly. - Interferes with Natural Fasting Window:
Your body benefits from a fasting period overnight—eating late shortens that, affecting metabolism and gut health. - Weight Gain Risk:
Late-night snacking may lead to excess calorie intake, especially from comfort foods, and slower metabolism at night can lead to fat storage.
