"Timing Your Meals Right: The Secret to a Healthier Heart and Lower Blood Pressure"

A study suggests that eating breakfast and dinner earlier can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, with breakfast at 8am linked to a lower risk compared to 9am, and eating before 8pm associated with a reduced risk of cerebrovascular disease, especially in women. Longer periods of nighttime fasting also correlate with a decreased risk of stroke. The research, which used data from over 103,000 French individuals, highlights the potential role of meal timing in cardiovascular disease prevention and supports the emerging field of chrononutrition. The findings were published in Nature Communications.

Naturopathic doctor Dr. Janine Bowring suggests natural remedies like garlic, Fo-Ti, and guggulsterone to maintain healthy arteries. While Frank's Sign should not solely dictate clinical management, it can be considered in physical examinations. Lifestyle changes are recommended to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
