At what time during the day does the body consume the most calories?

New research results have just been published on November 8, 2018 in the British journal Current Biology, saying that when we take a break, our bodies consume about 10% more calories in the evening than in the evening. morning.

An activity that we do regularly at the same time of day will consume more energy than do it at different times of the day.

These new findings may explain why night shift workers and those who do not have regular schedules are at risk of obesity. In a simple way, it is an unconditional calendar, the body's biological clock does not know which way to tell the body when it is time to sleep.

The activity that we perform regularly at the same time of day will consume more energy.

In general, if we consume more calories than we consume, we will gain weight. And from the results of the study, it is likely that the ability to gain weight will be more if we eat in the hours when the body consumes less energy.

Researchers have focused on how the body's circadian clock affects metabolism, how different it is when people work at different levels and have a habit of eating changes. .

Volunteers who participated in the study lived for more than a month in the closed area of ​​the laboratory, without a clock, they did not know when, what time, or when to use the phone and the internet. They eat and sleep according to the prescribed time. Every night they go to bed 4 hours later than before, and so on for 3 weeks. Such a change of time is similar to when people walk around the earth for a week.

Researchers found that their body clock could not keep up, it still kept the time it had without depending on human activity. That helps researchers measure the level of metabolism at different 'biological' times of the day. (The 'biological' time is the time of the clock in each person's body, regardless of the actual time of day or when the person is asleep or awake).

As a result, the body consumes about 130 calories more energy in the evening than the early morning of the biological clock. Thus, people who want to lose weight should apply the eating schedule thoroughly and sleep in moderation in combination with physical activities for the best results.
