A dense breakfast increases life expectancy by 35%

A new study found that the timing of your morning appointment of food can increase lifespan by a staggering 35 percent.

The life-prolonging effects of food are well-studied, but there is growing scientific interest in how the timing of meals affects lifespan. Concentrating your meals into specific time frames and “loading” your meals can significantly increase lifespan.

A new study suggests that eating more food early in the day may increase lifespan if less food is eaten later in the day.

It can be beneficial for the body to eat a rich meal for breakfast and lunch, and then have an earlier dinner. Nighttime calorie restriction also appears to moderate age-related changes in gene expression. In other words, changing the timing of eating can counteract the inflammatory effects that aging has on gene expression. Caloric restriction extends lifespan, but the mechanisms by which this occurs remain poorly understood.

30 percent calorie restriction was sufficient to increase lifespan by 10 percent, but daily fasting intervals and circadian regulation nutrition worked together to increase life expectancy by 35 percent. Scientists added that these effects do not depend on body weight.
