Early Dinner Reduces the Risk of Breast and Prostate Cancer

Barcelona.- People who eat two hours before bed are 20% less likely to develop breast and prostate cancer than those who eat late at night or go to sleep immediately after dinner.

Manolis Kogevinas researcher at the Institute of Global Health in Barcelona (ISGlobal) noted that studies in people on diet and cancer had focused on dietary habits or establish relationships with the amount of food consumed and obesity.

No interest has been brought to such everyday factors as food: the hours of intake and the activities that are carried out before and after. "Recent evidence from experimental studies indicates that eating time is important and shows that doing it later affects your health," Kogevinas reported.

The main objective of the research was to evaluate whether meal and sleep schedules are related to the risk of breast and prostate cancer, two of the most commonly related and mostly related at night work and circadian disruption, EFE reported.

Kogevinas explained, "Our study concludes that dietary dietary habits are associated with fewer cancer risks" and reiterated that the research "underscores the importance of taking into account the circadian rhythm in studies on Food and cancer ".

The researcher concluded that "they will have implications for recommendations on cancer prevention, which currently do not take into account meal times".
