An early dinner reduces cancer risk

Having an earlier evening meal, preferably before nine, or leaving an interval of at least two hours between the last meal and going to sleep is associated with a lower risk of breast and prostate cancers. According to a research by the Institute of Global Health of Barcelona (ISGlobal), people who follow these guidelines have a 20% lower risk of having such tumors compared to those who eat at night after ten or who go to sleep immediately after dinner. Most studies until now concentrated on what we eat, rather than how or when we eat, in relation to the risk of tumours developing. This new study shows that our metabolism and eating patterns may play a greater part in the question than was thought previously.
