A recent study highlights the impact of meal timing on glucose metabolism, indicating that eating meals and snacks later in the evening can hinder the body’s ability to process glucose effectively. This effect persists even if bedtime is postponed. Dr. Ajaykumar D. Rao, who serves as Chief of the Section of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, provided his expertise on these findings to Everyday Health.

In other news, Temple University Hospital has announced a significant change in its services. Starting at 8:00 AM on July 22, labor and delivery services will no longer be available at its Main Campus located at Broad and Ontario Streets. These services will be moved to a new hospital location.
