Daylight saving time spells bad news for healthy habits.

New research from North Carolina State University suggests that the transition to daylight saving time negatively impacts healthy habits. The study found that after the time change, there was an increase in the consumption of processed snack foods and a decrease in gym visits. The researchers analyzed data from a packaged food company and a fitness center company, comparing the behavior of participants before and after the time change. The findings highlight the need for individuals to be mindful of maintaining healthy habits during daylight saving time and suggest that companies and public policies should support individuals during this transition.
