{Researchers have found that eating late in the night almost triples the risk of developing a deadly form of high blood pressure.}<\/p>\n
Researchers claim late night food binges trigger the release of hormones that raise blood pressure, and affect our internal body clock, and could lead to heart attack, and even stroke.<\/p>\n
A study of 721 people found that late night eaters were 2.8 times more likely to be \u201cnon-dippers\u201d whose blood pressure doesn\u2019t fall.<\/p>\n
Lead researcher Dr Ebru \u00d6zpelit, from Dokuz Eyl\u00fcl University in Turkey, said: \u201cIf blood pressure doesn\u2019t drop by more than ten percent, this increases cardiovascular risk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ideally adults should avoid scoffing two hours before bedtime \u2013 and ideally eat nothing after 7pm, she told the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Rome.<\/p>\n
Professor Peter Weissberg, Medical Director at the British Heart Foundation, said: \u201cThis research suggests that eating a meal late at night may contribute to the failure of their blood pressure to reduce.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is normal for blood pressure to reduce overnight, even in people with high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, in some their blood pressure remains elevated throughout the night putting them at potentially higher risk of future complications.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
