Avoiding late-night eating may be help ensuring breast cancer does not return. Researchers found a potential connection between fasting and a reduced risk for cancer recurrence. “[The study] found that a nighttime fasting period of less that 13 hours was linked to a 36 percent higher risk for a cancer recurrence, compared with fasting durations of 13 hours or more. The study didn’t find a link between the shorter fasting period and an increased risk of death from breast cancer or other causes.” While the link was not confirmed and solidified, researchers concluded that 13 hours of fasting at night could drastically decrease chances of a cancer relapse.
