Working nights can throw off your body clock and actually raise your risk of type 2 diabetes.
If you work nights, you know how tough it is to stay healthy while you're running on fumes. When your natural rhythm gets out of sync, it messes with your hormones, your energy and even your mood.
The good news is that small tweaks go a long way. First, skip the high-carb meals during your shift and go for healthy fats, protein and some fiber to keep your blood sugar steady. Second, make your room as dark as you can when you sleep, because darkness helps your body make melatonin. Third, keep a steady sleep schedule, even on your days off.
Your health matters, day or night.
Let's get healthy together.
Science, not medical advice.
