Not eating dinner too late may protect against breast and prostate cancer. This is suggested by a study from Spain, where scientists examined the link between cancer risk and the timing of dinner and sleep.
Early dinner reduces cancer risk
Scientists tried to find out whether the timing of mealtimes was also linked to disease risk. They evaluated data from more than 600 patients with prostate cancer, nearly 1,200 breast cancer patients, and 872 men and women without either of these cancers. Participants were asked about their lifestyle, eating habits and daily routine.
According to the research, people who eat dinner before 21:00 have an almost 20 percent lower risk of contracting these diseases than people who eat after 22:00. The same goes for the rest of the night: You’ll be less at risk if you let at least two hours pass after eating. Researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) report this in the International Journal of Cancer.
Eating rhythms play a role in cancer risk
The results revealed that daily nutritional patterns play a role in cancer risk. If the results are confirmed in other studies, this should be taken into account when making recommendations for cancer prevention. This effect may be particularly important for cultures such as Southern Europe, where people tend to eat dinner late; For example, in Spain, it is quite common to eat after 22:00. However, according to scientists, more studies are needed to learn more about its causes. But everything seems to indicate that your bedtime affects how food is metabolized. (aponet)
