Abstract

The time of food intake and its implications on health have recently been studied by several researchers. This implies that eating habits and health may depend on both when and what people consume. Although there isn't a set time for when you should stop eating at night, several studiestry to find better food habits. The objectives of the present study are to find the impact of late light eating through secondary data. Thisnarrative review based study has included research papers published from September 2017 to August 2022 (the previous 5 years). The English language articles were retrieved from NCBI electronic library. Overall 26 research articles are included in the study out of the articles 86 were fully studied. The findings of the current study indicate that eating late at night may cause acid reflux and have a detrimental impact on the control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and weight. Poor eating choices could be one of several possible causes of this. There is conflicting evidence on the ideal time to cease eating at night. Others contend that eating according to the body clock is preferable to intermittent fasting, which is used as a guide in some research.
