n Australia, one in every five employees are shift workers. But when you work irregular hours, you eat at irregular hours and this can put you at increased risk of weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Now, a world-first study conducted by the University of South Australia and Monash University is investigating strategies to help shift workers better manage their eating habits when they work at night.
The SWIFt study - funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) - is focused on finding suitable diet plans that can empower shift workers to better regulate their health.
