- comments
Having three main meals on time are not in the daily routine of Americans anymore, which may have bad effects on their health and the weight they gain, says the American Heart Association. It is a good idea to plan the eating time as well as what to eat, according to a scientific statement.
The American Heart Association selected a committee of experts to review the evidence from dozens of reports to compile one big study. The first findings of the study were that the grownups in the US eat around the clock.
It is not yet clear, for sure that eating less after 6.00 PM or taking breakfast every day is better but the evidence from studies suggests that breakfast is a healthy habit and eating less after 6.00 PM can help you stay within your weight limit, reports Today.
Breakfast bulwarks the body from heart diseases, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. Those who skip breakfast and suffice on having snacks and munch throughout the day on different foods are more likely to get obese, have diabetes and suffer from malnutrition, scientific studies reveal.
Eating right before sleeping changes metabolism to promote weight and also dangerous to the heart according to a study conducted on animals. But in order to make sure late night eating impacts on human health needs more research on humans for reliable results, according to Telegraph.
The number of people consuming food at late hours of the night is increasing because they are eating round the clock. Men who had three meals a day in 1970 were 73 percent but this number fell to 59 percent in 2010. While women were 75 percent in 1970 and their number fell to 63 percent in 2010.
People should pause for a moment and plan timings of their meal as they plan the nutrition. After all, it is of equal importance.
