Doctors and nutritionists have been telling that one should not eat right before going to bed. However, one should also not eat late at night, according to a recent study. It has been said that when we eat late at night, we’re going against our body’s rhythm.
According to the researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, eating late at night increases the risk of obesity and weight gain. The analysis of the study revealed that the time when a person eats their last meal impacts the calories burned, appetite and how the body stores fat.
To conduct their study, a total of 16 participants with the body mass index (BMI) that is of the obese range or considered overweight were studied. Every one was given the same meals and they were divided into two groups: The first group was required to eat their meals early in the day and the other with each meal 250 minutes late.
The team of researchers found that eating late had a significant impact on the regulation of hunger hormones. The level of leptin (瘦蛋白) inhibits the human appetite. It was reduced across the period of 24 hours due to late eating. It was observed that eating late doubled the chance of being hungry. When participants ate later, they burned calories at a much slower rate.
In a press release the first author Nina Vujovic said, “In this study, we asked a simple question, ‘Does the time that we eat matter when everything else is kept consistent ’ and we found that eating four hours later makes a major difference to the hunger levels, the way calories burn after we eat, and the way our body stores fat.”
This study adds to a growing body of evidence showing just how important meal timing can be when it comes to body weight. Based on what this and other studies have shown, people who are watching their weight may want to get rid of the late night snacks and eat most of their meals earlier in the day.
19．(2分)What’s the difference between the two groups in paragraph 3
A．The variety of the diet. B．The fat content in their meals.
C．The calories in their meals. D．Their eating schedules.
20．(2分)What can we do to beat obesity according to the study
A．Avoid eating late at night.
B．Keep a moderate sense of hunger.
C．Abandon consuming food low in fat.
D．Make sure to have supper at a set time.
21．(2分)What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The human appetite. B．The leptin level.
C．The body mass index. D．The chance of being hungry.
22．(2分)From which is the text probably taken
A．A health magazine. B．A biology textbook.
C．A travel brochure. D．A biography.
