Experts recommend dinner at least two hours before going to bed.
For many people, mainly those who spend all day away from home working or studying, dinner has become the main and most substantial food of the day.
But experts have recently come up with opinions about how meals at night, especially those that are plentiful and that we perform before going to sleep, can alter the body and digestive processes.
A study presented at the Congress of the European Society of Cardiology, which was held in Rome last week, analyzed with more than 700 adults the link between the time when food is consumed and the effect on the body.
He found that consuming food late at night has a significant impact on the individual's blood pressure
Durante la noche, un proceso fisiológico normal es el descenso de la presión arterial.
Sin embargo, el estudio encontró que un 24,2% de los participantes que habían comido dentro de las dos horas antes de acostarse no habían mostrado un descenso adecuado de la presión sanguínea.
Entre quienes habían cenado más temprano, el porcentaje fue de 14,2
"Estado de alerta"
Según los expertos, consumir alimentos antes de irse a acostar produce que el organismo permanezca en un estado de "alta alerta", lo cual estimula la producción de hormonas del estrés, como la adrenalina, y también pueden alterar los ritmos circadianos.
La doctora Ebru Ozpelit, profesora de cardiología de la Universidad de Dokuz Eylul, en Izmir, Turquía, quien presentó el estudio, afirmó que los resultados sugieren que la hora en la que la gente come es tan importante como los alimentos que ingiere.
Ozpelit dijo que la vida moderna está alentando "hábitos de alimentación erráticos", como saltarse el desayuno y comer cada vez más tarde, que se están volviendo cada vez más prevalentes y pueden causar daños a lo largo del tiempo.
"Debemos definir la frecuencia ideal y la hora de los alimentos", advirtió Ozpelit.
