I am a great believer of intermitent fasting. I was surprised by the negative correlation between eating frequency and C-Reactive protein levels, though!

Eating a lot at night doesn't contribute to a good sleep; which worsens inflamation even further. It is a pernicious cycle. Perhaps, this should be a way to refine their study further! Not that I think that eating at night is a good habit, but maybe checking how this habit lowers the quality of individuals' sleep and factors in the increased inflammation, would be worth looking into.

Eating 10% more calories at night resulted in a 3% increase in C-Reactive Protein levels (p = 0.02).

You see, research also shows that bad sleep also raises blood sugar levels, another HUGE cause of inflamation ... You know, eating more before bed time, massive levels of glucose in the blood stream, more inflamation, more frequencey of C-reactive proteine, more inflamation, breast cancer etc.. etc... One could just go on, and on, and on ...

Eating less at night, allows for a good night's sleep, you wake up hungry, eat more during the early hours of the day and hopefully in the evening won't feel so peckish! Our imune system would be very grateful indeed! 😅

@justtryme90, thank you for another amazing post! I have only recently come across your blog, but I am already a big fan of your work!

Best 🙃
