Eating Jet Lag and Heart Health | US News

New research reveals a surprising link between weekend eating habits and heart health—what scientists call “eating jet lag.” A massive study of over 100,000 people found that men who ate later on weekends saw a 14% higher risk of heart disease and a 21% spike in coronary heart disease for every extra hour of mealtime shift. While not proof of causation, experts warn late-night eating disrupts sleep and circadian rhythms, which can harm the heart. Interestingly, women weren’t affected the same way—even though they made up most of the study group—possibly tied to new diagnostic standards for heart attacks in women. The bottom line? Syncing your meals with your body’s rhythm, especially during weekend shifts, may be a simple yet powerful step toward better heart health.
