The best time for dinner has been named
Dinner should be no later than three hours before going to bed.
Otherwise, circadian rhythms, which are responsible for sleep and wakefulness, may be disrupted.
GQ reports this with reference to the head of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California, Valter Longo, and associate professor of nutrition at the University of Surrey, Adam Collins.
What is the best time to have dinner?
According to experts, the last meal should be three hours before going to bed.
Violating this rule can lead to disruption of circadian rhythms.
This can negatively impact sleep and metabolism, Longo warned.
Collins noted that the habit of eating dinner a few hours before bed has another advantage: the long fast between evening and morning meals speeds up metabolism.
According to the expert, the break between dinner and breakfast should be 10-12 hours.
It's not just the time of dinner that matters, but also the menu, Longo emphasized.
According to him, centenarians usually eat light meals for dinner.
If you can't follow that recommendation, Longo added, breakfast should be low in carbohydrates.
