A recent scientific study found that eating late night dinner and not leaving a two-hour period between sleep and sleep is not bad. According to the site of the newspaper "Daily Mail" British.
Dietitians typically recommend eating at least two hours before sleeping to regulate blood sugar levels.
That Japanese researchers found that leaving this period between dinner and sleep has no effect on the level of sugar in the blood in the long term.
Experts from the University of Okayama followed 1,573 cases of healthy adults and adults for 3 years, observing their meal schedules and sleep, and conducting regular blood tests.
Most of the people surveyed spent at least two hours between eating dinner and going to bed. While 16% of men and 8% of women left less time.
When the researchers analyzed the blood results of these people, they found that there was no difference in the level of blood sugar between people who left two hours between dinner and sleep and those who left less time.
The researchers found that weight, blood pressure, exercise and smoking had a significant impact on blood sugar compared to the period we leave between dinner and sleep.
"Contrary to general belief, a short interval between the last meal of the day and the time of sleep did not significantly affect diabetic hemoglobin," said scientists who wrote in the BMJ Journal of Nutrition, Prevention and Health.
"More attention should be paid to the health and nutritional components, to adequate sleep, to avoid smoking and to weight gain, because these variables have a more profound effect on metabolism," they said.
