Experts Recommend Dinner Before 7 PM for Better Health

Chrononutrition research suggests that eating dinner before 7 PM improves metabolism and weight loss, as the body processes food less efficiently closer to bedtime.

A study of 420 adults showed that those who ate lunch earlier lost weight more quickly, while evening meals consumed near sleep times are linked to higher blood sugar and fat storage.

Professor Frank Scheer notes that melatonin elevation in the evening impairs glucose control, particularly in individuals with the MTNR1B gene variant, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
