Late Dinners Disrupt Hormones, Digestion: Gut Expert Dr. Saurabh Sethi Warns
- •Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a gut specialist, highlights that eating late at night negatively impacts digestion, hormones, and metabolic processes.
- •Late meals can lead to slower fat-burning, a 30-40% drop in insulin sensitivity, disrupted sleep hormones, and digestive strain.
- •Early dinners improve insulin sensitivity, reduce nighttime glucose levels by 15%, and enhance sleep quality, even with the same calorie intake.
- •Shifting dinner time by just a couple of hours can significantly impact gut health and blood sugar regulation, with late dinners causing higher sugar spikes.
- •The impact of late dinners is more severe for individuals with diabetes, prediabetes, or fatty liver, potentially causing 30-50% higher blood sugar spikes.
Why It Matters: Eating dinner early, aligning with natural circadian rhythms, is crucial for optimal gut health and hormonal balance.
