"Optimal Meal Timing: Key to Reducing Heart Attack Risk and Managing Blood Pressure"

A study published in Nature Communications suggests that eating breakfast earlier and having dinner before 8pm can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. The research, which analyzed data from over 103,000 French individuals, found that each hour delay in the first meal of the day increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by 6%, and eating after 9pm raises the risk of cerebrovascular disease by 28%, especially in women. The study highlights the importance of meal timing and suggests that a longer duration of night-time fasting could be beneficial for heart health.
