Delaying dinner and skipping breakfast increases the risk of stroke
It may seem harmless to some people to delay eating dinner and to others that skipping breakfast carries no negative consequences. But a new study from researchers at Sorbonne University in Paris suggests otherwise.
According to the study, published in the journal Nature Communications, delaying dinner beyond 9 p.m. may increase the risk of stroke by 28 percent. The researchers tracked over 100,000 people in France for 7 years to study the effects of meal timing on the risk of developing vascular diseases in the heart and brain. They found that late dinners, especially after 9 p.m., were linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly among women.
This is a significant finding, as cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. The study also found that skipping breakfast is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as the risk of obesity and overweight.
Dr. Bernard Sorour, senior author of the study, notes that our modern lifestyle of feeling too busy to eat earlier can lead to health problems. The study suggests that adopting earlier eating patterns and creating a longer nighttime fasting period can help prevent cardiovascular disease, rather than skipping breakfast.
This study has prompted experts to revisit the idea of chrono-nutrition, or the concept that not only what we eat, but also when we eat it, can have a significant impact on our health. Researchers advise eating breakfast within two hours of waking up, spacing meals every five to six hours, and eating dinner at least two to three hours before bed.
The findings of this study suggest that meal timing is just as critical as meal content in maintaining our health. Instead of focusing solely on nutrients and calories, it’s now important to consider when we eat our meals and how this impacts our body’s ability to digest and metabolize food.
As more research emerges in this field, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the time of eating meals plays a crucial role in our health and wellbeing. Therefore, it’s important to pay attention to not just what we eat, but also when we eat it, in order to maintain our optimum health.]
