How the interval between dinner time and bed time affects your health

The interval between taking dinner and going to bed could greatly determine your health, shows a study at St Mary’s Mission Hospital, Nairobi. Patients who observed more than a 2-hour interval between taking dinner and going to sleep were at lower risk of high blood pressure, blood sugar, bad cholesterol or obesity. 

Health experts at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Nairobi and the University of Nairobi found people who spent a longer interval between dinner and sleeping were less likely to develop metabolic syndrome (MetS).
