A recent scientific study has warned that eating snacks late at night, especially right before bedtime, may be linked to an increased risk of liver diseases, including fatty liver and cirrhosis, due to the impact of meal timing on the liver’s circadian rhythm and its ability to function normally.
According to the scientific website VeryWellHealth, the study analyzed data from nearly 200,000 participants, examining their dietary habits, meal timing, and liver health.
The results showed that individuals who regularly ate snacks after dinner or before bed had higher rates of liver-related health problems. Even after accounting for factors such as body weight and physical activity levels, their risk of developing fatty liver increased by approximately 36 percent, and their risk of cirrhosis rose by 28 percent.
