New Study Shows Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Linked to Eating Late
A recent study published in the magazine Nature suggests that eating a late breakfast and a late dinner can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in women. The international study, known as the “NutriNet-Santé” study, was initiated in 2009 and involved over 100,000 participants who regularly answered online questionnaires about their lifestyle, nutrition, and health.
The study specifically looked at the timing and types of food consumed, and not just the participants’ definitions of breakfast or “late” eating. The results showed that delaying the first meal of the day was associated with a higher risk of overall cardiovascular disease, while eating every hour later in the evening increased the risk of cerebrovascular diseases, such as strokes.
According to the authors, the rhythms in organs are controlled by the daily rhythm of eating, and metabolism is primed to anticipate and digest energy sources at certain times of the day. Therefore, the study recommends having breakfast before 9 a.m. and not eating anything after 8 p.m in order to prevent heart and blood vessel diseases. Nighttime fasting, in particular, was found to reduce the likelihood of coronary artery disease.
The study also found that the risks of these diseases were significantly increased, especially in women. The authors urge people to focus on meal planning by eating dinner early and having breakfast early again, rather than postponing both meals.
This new research sheds light on the important connection between meal timing and cardiovascular health, and emphasizes the significance of maintaining a healthy eating schedule to prevent heart and blood vessel diseases.]
