Those eating breakfast before 8:30 AM had lower blood sugar levels and less insulin resistance thereby lowering their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  This conclusion comes from a study by Northwestern University endocrinologists just presented at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting.

 

Crunching the data gathered from 10,575 adults, they found that those beginning their daily meals before 8:30 in the morning had significantly lower fasting blood sugar levels and more effective insulin-driven carbohydrate metabolism.  This was true even for those who continued their grazing for more than 13 hours a day.

 

The healthiest strategy: rise early, exercise, have breakfast before 8:30, and finish eating by 9 pm.
