Weekend eating jet lag raises men's heart disease risk, study finds
A French study of more than 100,000 participants over 14 years finds that weekend eating at times different from weekdays—termed 'eating jet lag'—raises men's cardiovascular risk, with each extra hour of misaligned meals increasing cardiovascular disease risk by 14% and coronary heart disease by 21%; the effect was not seen in women, highlighting the potential importance of keeping regular meal times for heart health.
