Mumbai<\/a>, explained that eating with the sun enhances vitamin D production, which in turn increases calcium absorption and improves bone density. \u201cYou biologically perform better during the day, so when you eat with the sun, it aids your body in optimal digestive enzyme output. Studies have found that eating in the daytime helps with blood sugar control, resulting in weight management and better metabolic health,\u201d she said.<\/p>\nHolistic health and wellness coach Isha Lall cited growing research linking sunlight exposure during meals to improved digestion, hormonal balance, and overall well-being. \u201cIt strengthens your circadian rhythm, the body\u2019s internal clock, which regulates digestion, metabolism and sleep. Natural sunlight also boosts serotonin (feel-good hormone) production, which not only uplifts your mood but also helps regulate hunger hormone ghrelin that affects appetite, and leptin that signals fullness,\u201d she further explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI began to treat food not as indulgence, but as alignment,\u201d said Khanna. (Source: Instagram\/@vikaskhannagroup)<\/p>\n
According to her, drinking warm water in the morning can help with constipation. Since the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is one big muscle, the heat of the water helps it relax slightly, easing bowel movements, Lall added.<\/p>\n

The power of eating clean<\/p>\n
Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal added that eating clean, meaning whole, minimally processed and seasonal food with balanced nutrients, supports insulin balance and reduces inflammation. \u201cWith consistent early dinners, blood sugar levels stabilise overnight, helping reduce cravings the next day. It also improves fat metabolism since the body is not constantly digesting food late into the night,\u201d she told indianexpress.com. For those struggling with hormonal imbalance or slow metabolism, these habits can gradually improve insulin sensitivity and support better weight management.<\/p>\n
Early dinner for the win<\/p>\n
In fact, she added that finishing dinner by 7 pm improves melatonin rhythm and overall sleep quality. \u201cWhen digestion is not active late at night, the body can focus on deep cellular recovery. Many people report waking up more refreshed and less sluggish. Over time, this also supports mental clarity, concentration, and stable energy levels through the day,\u201d said Goyal.<\/p>\n
However, she noted that eating clean doesn\u2019t mean eating less; it means choosing wholesome, nutrient-dense meals that satisfy hunger without spikes and crashes. \u201cIf done mindfully, this pattern helps regulate hunger hormones, enhances metabolic efficiency, and sets the foundation for sustainable long-term wellness rather than short-term weight loss,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
