Matching Pairs Lesson: Late-night EatingOnline version Eating late at night is bad for us. We could get sick. A study says it increases the risk of obesity. Researchers said eating late makes us feel two times hungrier, so we eat more. When we eat earlier, we are less hungry, so we eat less. Later eaters eat unhealthier food. They also move around less, so they do not burn off calories. Researchers looked at the eating habits of 16 overweight people. They were healthy. They ate regularly and exercised. They did not drink coffee or alcohol. They did not smoke, or take medicine or drugs. They kept a sleep diary so researchers knew their sleeping times. A researcher said it is better to stop eating at night. by Andres Vargas 1 we are less 2 burn off 3 it increases the risk 4 Later eaters eat 5 They also move 6 feel two times 7 We could get 8 Eating late at night is bad hungrier calories of obesity sick. for us. unhealthier food hungry around less 1 researchers knew their sleeping 2 They kept a 3 They did not 4 Researchers looked at the eating 5 stop eating at 6 A researcher said it 7 They ate regularly and 8 16 overweight habits night sleep diary smoke exercised times people is better
