“Owls” are prone to a greater risk of heart disease

Some people prefer in the morning, some prefer the evening, depending on which one you are, can affect your risk of heart disease.

Early starts to the day can be difficult for many, especially as winter sets in and the sunrise gets further and further away. Some people continue to get up early, enjoying the morning. Other people work best at nightfall, but there's a price to pay.

Owls are at greater risk of heart disease than early birds because of the way the body works at this time. The point is how the processes in the body change between morning and evening. The researchers suggested that night owls have a reduced ability to use and burn fat, which is necessary to obtain energy. As a result, these fats accumulate in the body, increasing the risk of heart disease and other conditions.

On the other hand, early birds benefit from a quick start. Because they are more active in the morning, they need more fat to use as energy, and so they burn it when they are active.

People who get up early for a long time are more likely to have a fitness advantage compared to with those who work late.

“Since chronotype appears to affect our metabolism and hormone action, we hypothesize that chronotype can be used as a factor in prediction of disease risk in humans. Early birds are more physically active and have a higher level of physical fitness than owls,” the cardiologist explains.
