Late night eating is more harmful than we thought before

It's common to eat different foods late at night, especially when you've invited friends over and you're watching a TV show.

But health experts are warning people to avoid this phenomenon because eating at night can lead to serious health problems.

Suzanne Jezek-Arriaga has shown that people often tend to eat unhealthy foods full of sugar, salt and fat at midnight. Rarely do people eat fruits or vegetables at night.

And, in addition to eating such foods causing weight gain, according to a Danish study, late-night eating can cause a host of health problems, including acid reflux and esophageal cancer.

In addition, the continuous eating of food during the late hours of the evening disturbs the sleep system.
