BOSTON – A study by Brigham and Women’s Hospital shows that dining during the day may be better for your mental health than dining at night.
The researchers disrupted the circadian rhythms of 12 men and seven men to simulate a night shift.
They found that those who ate both day and night experienced what they called higher temperaments similar to depression and anxiety. Those who only ate during the day did not experience the same mood swings.
Now, scientists need to see if converting meal times can help other people who have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety.
