Let's admit it. We have all been guilty of
skipping breakfast once or twice in life. Whether it was an early morning
flight or because you were too pressed for time to make one for yourself before
office, we have all considered skipping our early morning meal at some point.
But if you have been regularly skipping breakfast and eating dinner late at
night, you may be at an increased risk of death and other heart-related problems,
researchers have warned. The study was published in the European Journal of Preventive
Cardiology.
The study went on to reveal that people with such unhealthy
lifestyle had a four to five times higher likelihood of early death and also
have an increased chance of a second heart attack.
"Our research shows that the two eating behaviours
are independently linked with poorer outcomes after a heart attack but had the cluster of bad habits will only make things worse," said co-author Marcos
Minicucci, from Sao Paolo State University in Brazil.
"We also think that the inflammatory response, oxidative
stress and endothelial function could be involved in the association between
unhealthy eating
behaviours and cardiovascular outcomes," he added.
The team assessed 113 patients with a mean age of 60, of which
73 per cent were men. The study enrolled patients with a particularly serious
form of heart attack called ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
This was the first study to evaluate these unhealthy behaviours in patients
with acute coronary syndromes, scientists revealed. Not having breakfast
was observed in 58 per cent patients, having late night dinner in 51 per cent,
and both behaviours in 41 per cent.
The researchers said that people must make necessary
interventions in their dietary habits. Researchers also recommended a minimum of two hour interval between dinner and bedtime.
"A good breakfast is usually composed of dairy products (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese), a carbohydrate (whole wheat bread, bagels,
cereals), and whole fruits," the team said.
