Eating your first and last meal of the day early would help prevent the risk of cardiovascular disease according to a large-scale study published in December and led by the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Agriculture. environment, the Barcelona Global Health Institute, Inserm and Sorbonne Paris Nord University.
The results come from the analysis of data from a large panel of participants followed for 13 years.
OBSERVATION WORK
More than 103,000 volunteers, the majority women, shared their eating habits between 2009 and 2022. If it seems certain that the quality of the diet – varied and balanced, limiting red meat – has an influence on health, this study suggests that the time at which the meal is taken also has an impact, recommending that we eat early. Thus, a breakfast at 9 a.m. rather than 8 a.m. would increase the risk of having cardiovascular problems by 6%, and a dinner at 9 p.m. would increase the risk of cerebrovascular disease (stroke type) by 28% compared to at 20 hours.
This work also reports that extending the duration of the nighttime fast, without skipping breakfast, might be beneficial for the prevention of these diseases. Indeed, according to the researchers, in addition to light, “daily cycles of eating and fasting synchronize peripheral circadian clocks, involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system”.
These results will nevertheless need to be replicated in other large-scale panels in order to corroborate this link between the timing of meals and better cardiometabolic health.
