Study: Late-Night Eating Might Be Related To A Higher Risk Of Prostate And Breast Cancer    

The Cause Could Be Associated With The Disruption Of The Circadian Rhythm    

According to a recent study, late-night eating can increase the risk of prostate or breast cancer. The study revealed that people that did not eat anything two hours before bedtime have a 20% decrease in the risk of suffering these types of cancer. One cause can be the disruption of the circadian rhythm, which also disrupted the levels of glucose, cortisol, and leptin, and also had a higher level of inflammation. This applied also to habitual late-night eating, and also night-shift workers, not occasional cases in which the person must stay once in an overnight shift. The risk of cancer is determined by genetics and environment. Genetics cannot be controlled, but the environmental factors can be controlled, such as avoiding eating before going to bed to promote proper sleep and prevent a disruption of the circadian rhythm.
