The belief that eating after 8pm automatically causes weight gain is pervasive — but the reality is more nuanced. Circadian biology, food choices, and total caloric intake all interact in ways that make the question far more interesting than a simple yes or no.

Your body needs both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids — but the ratio between them may be as important as their individual quantities. Modern diets have shifted this ratio dramatically, with serious implications for chronic disease and inflammation.
