The body has a natural rhythm;

There is a time for rest, and a time for work.

Naturally most of our activity should be during the day. However given modern life, for many of us as we finish work at the end of the day this is when we have free time.

So for many people they become active at night, whether this is social activity or indeed more work.

Naturally the body starts winding down towards the end of the day and digestive processes do the same.

For this reason the Yogic wisdom suggests that your Dinner should be the lightest meal of the day!

Most people begin most of their eating at the end of the day during their free time at night.

So as people tend to eat more in the evening alot of the food eaten is actually not digested and thus contributes to weight gain and toxic overload.
