So this is another example where people who are thinking that they can get away with food at night, although we are not walking around with continuous glucose monitor, all of us, but some of them, And this is a common theme that we are finding.

Yeah. And also since it's the time when insulin production, it's not that insulin production has shut down. It's actually there is a trickle of insulin that comes out and it continues for a long time because it has to work hard to get the glucose absorbed. So then your insulin level remains high in the blood for a long time.

And that has a lot of other effects because insulin also promotes fat making. So our cells actually make more fat also in response to insulin. So that's another reason why late night eating can cause weight gain. Chronic late night eating. Chronic late night eating.

Yeah. So this is something that has to come from clinical studies, but at least in mice or in laboratory animals, where we can accurately control what time they're eating, how much they're eating, what quality of food they're eating. There we can see that when they eat randomly or eat when they're supposed to sleep, then they gain excess body weight.

No, that's true. I mean, a lot of people, we think that we can get away with occasional late night eating. And this is where the circadian rhythm, again, some of the concepts of circadian rhythm kicks in. When we think about what are the adverse effects of disrupting our rhythm, we always think of people who do night shift work, evening shift work, or morning shift work.

And there is a rich literature from over the last 100 years. People have gathered a lot of literature saying that many people who work late at night or night shift workers, they are actually at a very high risk for metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, etc. Cancer as well. Cancer also.

But I think what is actually disconnected, what we don't understand in real life is, if we ask, what is shift work? Yeah, I've heard you talk about this.

Yeah. It's not that somebody has to have a job like in police department or firefighter or nurses. Of course, they are shift workers. Right. But then if we think about metabolically for our health, for our body, how our body is thinking, whether you're doing shift work or not, because our body is actually not checking whether you checked into your shift work or not. It's only checking two things.
