One question I always ask my clients is... 'Do you eat after 7pm?' Image via Flickr Your digestion slows right down after 7pm as your body prepares for sleep; when cells are renewed and our bodies repair. Also this is when growth happens hence why children, teenagers and pregnant women need more sleep. Eating after 7pm means the food stays in your gut longer, in fact if you eat after 10pm the food stays in the gut until the next day - yew!

So sorry 'midnight snacks' are not a good for your skin or tummy! I've tried it and it really does help.
