"Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar," says the saying

Dr. Diana Díaz Rizzolo, a researcher at the Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) and Columbia University, has led a study that demonstrates that eating late hours can make glucose remain longer in our blood, thus accelerating aging.

The study, published in the Magazine Nutrition & AMP;Diabetes, reveals that ingesting more than 45% of daily calories after five in the afternoon is associated with high glucose levels.This not only affects our general health, but also accelerates aging.Eating late can make our body handle glucose well, which generates oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, damaging our cells and tissues.

To improve our health and age better, Dr. Díaz Rizzolo recommends aligning our lifestyle with the hours of the day.This includes breakfast shortly after getting up, early lunch and light dinner before sunset.In addition, maintaining a balanced diet and exercising regularly are key to preserving our muscle mass and improving our quality of life.

Rizzolo explains that high glucose levels generate oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, key factors that damage our cells and tissues, accelerating aging.In addition, excess glucose can cause glycation, a process in which glucose molecules adhere to other molecules, damaging and affecting areas such as memory and increasing the risk of dementia.

For those who seek to improve their health and age better, it is important to consider not only what and how much we eat, but also when we do it.Breakfast shortly after getting up can help us better control hunger during the day and make healthier food decisions.Early lunch and light dinner before sunset can also be beneficial for our health.

In addition, the doctor suggests that autophagy, a process of cleaning and cell renewal, is activated with fasting and caloric restriction.This process protects us against diseases and helps us live more years with better quality of life.Slightly reducing the calories we consume can help our cells stay young and healthy for longer.

In short, small changes in our daily habits can have a great impact on our long -term health.Align our lifestyle with the hours of the day, maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly are key to improving our health and aging better.

Let's take care and keep learning together!

All that is very good as long as the work schedules allow it to normally allow it, if I leave at 8 in the afternoon, until about 9 I do not get home, therefore I cannot eat before the 9 and now duskAt 6, how are we going to have dinner before sunset?It is a utopia ...

Good afternoon.

Reading the conclusions of this study by Dr. Diana Díaz, several doubts arise.The first What should be the greatest number of calories of the day, breakfast or lunch?The second is really a study that can include diabetics?I say the latter because I do not understand how fasting can fit into an insulin -dependent diabetic, although the caloric restriction.

"Breakfast shortly after getting up," what does it mean?What breakfast well, immediately after getting up, or that we make a light breakfast?

Greetings.

Here the main thing is to keep glucose in range.That each one fixes as they can.If breakfast is the most difficult to control, better breakfast like a poor.

Ours is another song.

For most of us, the hours between dinner and breakfast are "quiet", because or sleep or rest, without making efforts that need energy (glucose)

That is why if during those hours I get a "low" glucose level (I usually try to be between 90 and 80mg/dl) that makes the average lower.It is almost a third of what lasts one day.

Then, when awakening, the body need glucose again.With what breakfast if it should contribute hydrates for most people.More in children and people who have work with physical effort.

That is what I think that saying means.Little at night, more at breakfast (according to person) and at food ... the best you want and get.

I have been very lowered the average managing the best I can glucose at bedtime (dinner) and having controlled the night basal to maintain the level.

During the day it is more difficult to maintain low levels according to the day.As we already know almost all.

I do not agree, not all are at a low level at night, it depends a lot on dinner, if you eat proteins even if you have not eaten much HC, it gives you a beak at a few hours that usually coincide at dawn, it is particularlySometimes that it is difficult for me to control that, apart, in the morning, to which we are type 1, it happens to us that the glucose rises without doing anything, due to the alba effect, the body reacts producing glucose to start the day.It is curious but it is to put the feet on the floor and 30 or more of glycemia without.I can be light, just like dinner, lunch a little more.

What I say is that controlling the nights, you get the average sugar a lot.I have managed to adjust the dinners to bed with a good level.Maybe others cannot do or get it.

When I started with the sensor, the first freeview report told me that I was very tall at dawn.With what I started there:

Look now the last three days:



The morning also happens to me.I wake up at 100, I'm going to shower and when I return I am 130, 140 or even 150 (last Saturday, the town's house is colder) more than before.Although then it usually goes down in 10 or 15 minutes.Without eating and without clicking.

I can bed with a good level. More than 2 hours from dinner, even throwing down, around 70 and at 3 in the morning be 140 and going up ...
