Wellness Challenge - Eat Early
For the upcoming weekly challenge, we are challenging the participants to “Eat Dinner”. The health benefits of having an early dinner do not result only in weight loss. There are other health benefits too. It helps you to lead a better lifestyle. So, if you have been following a late night dinner all this while, it is time to start afresh and begin a healthier one. The best way to start is by having an early dinner. Thus, the timing of your meals can affect your body’s weight regulation, metabolic regulation, heart health and sleep cycle too.
