Too often, our hectic life leads us to have completely busted schedules. This mainly affects the diet: we don’t have a specific time to have lunch, we don’t have a specific time to have dinner. The fact is of no small importance. Problems arise especially when dinner is delayed, up to moving it to just before bedtime. Having a late dinner has really deleterious consequences on our body.
Recent research has shown the effects on the body of dining after 10pm. We must be careful because dining at this time raises the risk of diabetes, stroke and heart attack. Plus, it strains your metabolism. The reason is quite intuitive: eating just before bed does not give us time to dispose of nutrients properly. But there’s more: the contraindications of eating too late in the evening also affect sleep. Let’s see why.
Be careful because having dinner at this time raises the risk of diabetes, stroke and heart attack
Recent research, published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, compared the organisms of two categories of subjects. The first was made up of those who dine early (around 6pm), the second of those who dine late (around 10pm).
The study showed that, with the same standard of living, those who dine around 10 pm are more likely to develop glucose intolerance, facilitating the onset of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The same subjects slow down the oxidation of fats. This can lead to elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as blood pressure. This symptomatology increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Also, eating late leads to disturbed sleep. Other studies show the correlation between a late dinner and insomnia. Having a late dinner can also lead to a reduction in REM sleep, the normal course of which is essential for being lucid and concentrated during the day.
The advice is not to take the dinner times lightly and try to have dinner at the latest at 20. Our body will thank us.
