Why should I stop eating after sunset?

When we eat late at night, it literally feeds your stomach and becomes more fat. Along with the poor sleep that follows late night eating makes finding a natural route to weight loss harder. Eating before sunset gives you a better opportunity to lose weight & also improve your health overall. Photo Credit: Freepik
