Eating at an early hour or leaving an interval of at least two hours before going to bed is associated in both cases with a lower risk of breast and prostate cancer according to a study by the Health Institute Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal).
According to the work, published by the newspaper International Journal of Cancer people who take their dinner before 9:00 pm or wait at least 2 hours before They are lying at about 20% less risk of developing these cancers only those who eat the evening meal after 10 pm or those who go to bed immediately after dinner.
Manolis Kogevinas, a researcher at ISGlobal pointed out that, until now, studies on the diet and cancer had focused on eating habits, analyzing for example whether people were eating red meat, fruits or vegetables, or established relations with quantity of food and obesity .
However, no attention was given to any other factors surrounding such a daily act as eating: hours of intake and activity that are conducted before and after, according to Kogevinas. "Recent evidence in experimental studies indicates that eating time is important and shows that doing it in the last few hours affects health," said the researcher.
Dietary Dietary Habits ]
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether meal and sleep schedules may be related to the risk of developing Breast and prostate cancer, two of the most common cancers in the world. world and more in relation to night work and circadian disruption or alteration of the biological clock.
As part of the MCC-Spain project, co-funded by the Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP), researchers evaluated data on 621 cases of prostate cancer and 1205 breast and 872 men and 1321 randomly selected women in primary health centers from different points of Spain .
The analysis was based on data collected from interviews on food, sleep and chronotype schedules and a questionnaire on dietary habits and adherence to cancer prevention recommendations. "Our study concludes that dietary dietary habits are associated with a lower risk of cancer" summarizes Kogevinas, the first author of the publication.
For Kogevinas, these findings "underscore the importance of accounting for circadian rhythm in studies of food and cancer ". In addition, according to the researcher, if these results are confirmed, "they will have implications for recommendations on cancer prevention, which currently do not take into account meal times."
