Eating at an early hour or leaving an interval of at least two hours before going to bed is badociated in both cases with a lower risk of bad cancer and according to a study of the Institute of Global Health of Barcelona (ISGlobal).

However, no attention has been given to other factors surrounding such a daily act as eating: the hours of ingestion and the activities that are performed before and after, according to Kogevinas
" Recent evidence from experimental studies indicates that the timing of eating is important and shows that late does affect health ," said the researcher.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether meal and sleep schedules can be linked to the risk of bad and prostate cancer, two of the most common cancers in the world that are most related to night work and pregnancy. Circadian disturbance or alteration of the biological clock.
As part of the MCC-Spain project, co-funded by the Biomedical Research Consortium of the Network for Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP), researchers are evaluating data on 621 cases of prostate cancer and 1205 bad and 872 men and 1321 women randomly selected in primary health centers from different parts of Spain.
The badysis was based on data collected in interviews on meal, sleep and chronotype schedules and a questionnaire on dietary habits and compliance with cancer prevention recommendations.
" Our study concludes that dietary dietary habits are badociated with a lower risk of cancer ", Kogevinas, the first author of the publication, summarized
For Kogevinas, these results " emphasize the importance of taking into account the circadian rhythm in studies of diet and cancer . "
according to the researcher, in the case of confirmation of these results," will have implications for recommendations on cancer prevention, which currently do not take into account what s meal times. "EFE
