The WORST Dinner Time for Your Heart
You already know that WHAT you eat impacts your heart disease risk.
So, you do your best to avoid processed and fried foods packed with sugar and empty carbs.
But it turns out that WHEN you eat could be just as critical for keeping your heart healthy.
In fact, recent research reveals the BEST time to eat to REDUCE your heart disease risk.
In a study investigating the link between nutrition and health, researchers followed more than 100,000 people with an average age of 42.
When the scientists looked into when and how often folks ate, a definite pattern emerged. They found that the later someone ate breakfast in the morning, the higher their overall risk of cardiovascular disease rose.
Even more troubling was that, for each additional hour later that someone ate their last meal, their risk of heart disease rose by another EIGHT percent.
Ultimately, folks who ate dinner after 9p.m. had a 28 percent higher risk of cerebrovascular disease than those who ate just one hour earlier.
The bottom line is that eating earlier in the day—and stopping eating earlier in the day—is a simple way to protect your heart health.
And it’s for good reason. You see, eating earlier in the day lines up better with your body’s circadian rhythm.
It’s ALSO why limiting your eating window has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and appetite control.
A study like this confirms that you don’t have to overhaul your entire diet to protect your heart. Instead, simply skipping that bedtime snack is an excellent place to start.
P.S. Interested in intermittent fasting to balance your blood sugar but NOT interested in restricting eating to a strict four-hour window? Turns out you don’t have to. CLICK HERE for the scoop.
