Eating breakfast at exact time can 'cut your risk of heart attack or stroke'

Tucking into your morning meal earlier and steering clear of late-night dining slashes the risk of heart attack or stroke, recent French research claims.

The study revealed that those who have their first food at 9 am encounter a six per cent increased peril of developing cardiovascular disease compared to early birds breaking fast at 8 am.Additionally, enjoying food past 9 pm was linked with a whopping 28 per cent heightened jeopardy of suffering from cerebrovascular disease – such as a stroke – especially in women.

Detailed in the prestige journal Nature Communications, the study also indicates that a more extended period of "night-time fasting" between the final bite of the day and the initial morsel the next morning, correlates with lower stroke risk.It's a sobering thought when cardiovascular conditions top the list of deadly diseases globally, as per the Global Burden of Disease study; they claimed around 18.6 million lives in 2019 alone with diet-related issues accounting for approximately 7.9 million of these unfortunate deaths.

Experts suggest our Western lifestyle is largely to blame, identifying sinister dietary customs like skimping on brekkie or indulging in late dinners.They explained that a regular rhythm of munching and fasting tunes the body's peripheral clocks or circadian rhythms, which in turn affect various functions including how blood pressure is regulated.
