Researchers from the State University of São Paolo, Brazil, recruited 113 patients, 73% of whom were men, averaging 60 years old.

All had a particularly serious form of heart attack called ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Participants were asked about eating behaviors during admission to a coronary intensive care unit. Skipping breakfast was defined as nothing before lunch at least three times a week. The late evening dinner was defined as a meal less than two hours before bedtime, at least three times a week.

Skip breakfast was observed in 58% of cases, late dinner at night at 51% and both behaviors in 41%.

"They say the best way to live is to eat like a king," he said. "A good breakfast is usually made up of dairy products (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese), a carbohydrate (whole wheat bread, bagels, cereals) and whole fruits. . It should represent 15 to 35% of our total daily calorie intake.

Dr. Minicucci went on to say that previous studies have shown that people who do not eat breakfast and dine late are more likely to have other harmful health habits, such as smoking and moderate physical activity.

"Our research shows that both eating behaviors are independently linked to poor results after a heart attack, but having a group of bad habits will only make things worse," he added.

"People who work late may be particularly likely to dine late and not be hungry in the morning.

"We also believe that inflammatory response, oxidative stress and endothelial function could be involved in the badociation between unhealthy eating behaviors and cardiovascular consequences."
