High-Calorie Evening Meals Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Risk in Women

Your biological clock is a system that controls a lot more than our sleep. It also contributes to our metabolism, which is exactly why we are told time and time again to eat more in the morning and opt for lighter meals in the evening if we want to lose weight. However, recent  research also expanded on this general knowledge, establishing that late meals are associated with increased inflammation, which typically goes away when a person ascribes to a strict meal schedule with lighter evening meals.

But inflammation and weight gain aren’t even the worst things that can happen if you eat the most in the evenings, at least for women. According to recent research, heavy evening meals increase women's risk of heart disease.

The study has been conducted at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, in New York, and its primary goal was to find out whether the timing of meals affects women’s cardiovascular health. The study was based on previous observations that established an increased level of inflammatory markers associated with heart disease and diabetes in participants who opted for heavy evening meals.

The hypothesis was that high caloric intake in the evening may increase one’s risk of suffering from heart disease. 112 female patients with an average age of 33 were recruited in the study. To assess the patients’ cardiovascular disease risks, the researchers measured the patients’ blood sugar levels, blood pressure, activity levels, smoking, diet, and weight.

Then, the researchers asked the patients to record their meals in a diary for a full year, and after 12 months, the same measurements were taken once again. Based on the information from the diaries, researchers attempted to established a relationship between mealtime and meal caloric value with cardiovascular risk.

The results show a systematic increase in cardiovascular risks in women who have high-calorie evening meals, with each 1% increase in caloric intake after 6 PM and 8 PM affecting one’s cardiovascular health. These published results are part of a bigger study that’s yet to be published, but already, we can see how a small lifestyle change like mealtime can affect our overall well-being by leaps and bounds.

The bottom line is that women would most likely all benefit from lighter evening meals, not only for weight loss but also for maintaining heart health.

Want to lose weight? Eat breakfast at 7.11 am and dinner at 6:14 pm

A new survey claims that one of the ways to lose weight, is to eat breakfast at 7.11 am.

The survey, conducted by Forza Supplements, reached upon this conclusion after studying the response of around 1,000 participants. During the survey, the researchers had asked dieters to recommend the perfect time to eat. 

Lee Smith, managing director of the firm, said that the most important factor for most of the dieters is not the amount of food they consume but when they eat.

Smith continued that the after survey it was found that best times were 7.11 am for breakfast, 12.38 pm for lunch and 6.14 pm for dinner. 

Most dieters recommended that low-fat snacks should be used as supplements if someone feels hungry in later morning or mid-afternoon. Breakfast considered by nutritionists as the most important meal of the day and diet experts suggest that one should take healthy breakfast. Skipping breakfast on a regular basis can cause several health problems.

The results showed that a convincing 84% of dieters believed that sticking to specific meal times was crucial for slimming down.

The slimmers also agreed with the idea that eating dinner early can help with weight loss, as 67% recommended eating before 7 pm.

More than half of the dieters find that the hours between 6 pm and 10 pm is when they give in to their cravings, with 62% admitting that snacking past 8pm in front of the television was the real killer.

Smith said, "The results show that breakfast really is the most important meal of the day for successful dieters."
