Rise and dine — and give yourself time to digest before bed.
That’s the bottom line from a new study published Thursday in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, which found that people who skip breakfast and eat a late dinner have much worse health outcomes after surviving a heart attack.
In fact, people who did both of these (common) eating habits were four to five times more likely to die, have another heart attack or suffer chest pain within 30 days after leaving the hospital.
“Our research shows that the two eating behaviors are independently linked with poorer outcomes after a heart attack, but having a cluster of bad habits will only make things worse,” wrote study author Dr. Marcos Minicucci, of São Paulo State University in Brazil.
He also warned that “People who work late may be particularly susceptible to having a late supper and then not being hungry in the morning.”

Agree. I skipped breakfast when I was a kid and still do. Healthy as a horse.
I go to work. Never take a break. No lunch, nothing. Drink coffee by the potful. Come home and eat like a python, washed down with copious amount of beer. Yeah, not exactly the Atkins diet, but I am good. No doctors, no meds. No aches and pains. Not bad for 60.
my routine and diet is almost exactly like yours
Morning: Still sleeping
11:00 A.M At restaurant eating ham sandwich grilled, and 16 ounce soda
Lunch: Nope
Dinner: Steak, coolaid apple pie, two icees, and peppermint tea
late night: Soda
As a kid, I loved bacon...and now don’t care for it at all.
Actually, I find my menu quite tasty - especially the strawberries in the oatmeal with my banana chaser.
I do admit for a very high fondness of “Choc Choc Chip Soft Top” cookies from Krogers and ice cream in the summer.
Just a half pot a day
Lost 70 pounds back in ‘15 (illness) and simply don’t have much of an appetite or room for much
Wed, I had a big soft pretzel. Period
Thurs, bowl of rice chex
gorged last night on half a small roasted chicken and a slice of pecan pie
Who financed the study?
The most common cause of heart attacks... Bad genes... If you have a family history of heart disease get yourself checked out as regularly as possible. If you don’t then you needn’t worry too much about what your lifestyle is like... Remember Jim Fixx???
All the running in the world didn’t stop him from succumbing to a heart attack while running at the age of 52.
Pot—good
cigarettes—bad
Living will kill you.
Eating infrequently causes insulin to fluctuate more than eating smaller meals more often. And the body tends to store more fat when insulin levels are high. So less fat will tend to be stored from the same caloric intake if eaten in more frequent, smaller meals.
Watching ChiFi of Kavanaugh Fame, Stuttering Nanzi Piglosi, Schmucky Schumer, DeBlasio the Dictator, Madd Maxine the loon, Puffer Swalwell, Fat Nadler, Plugs Biden, Mittens the gonadless, Slipping Hitlery, Zero birthed under a Rock somewhere, Two-faced Ryan, Camel Harris, Clueless Cummings, Spartacus Booker, Beto the Fake, Pow Wow Warren, Airhead AOC, the Antisemites and Resident Terrorist sympathizers Omar and Tlaib, et al. is worse for your health!!!
I still recommend Jim Fixx’s The Complete Book of Running. Some of it is outdated, but still a lot worth reading.
Now we're talking! Put on 2 pots FOR ME!
Let’s hope this isn’t your Opus here on FR, FRiend.
I’m pretty much over bacon, except for the home made/smoked bacon my husband makes....
Didn’t Jim Fixx die of a heart attack yak, yak, yak?
“The most common cause of heart attacks... Bad genes”
Amen. My father and I lived completely different lifestyles. He smoked, drank, etc. I did not, I exercised my whole life, ate Atkins diet for years. He died of heart attack at 58, I had massive heart attack at 59. I only survived because several things went exactly right.
Easy solution. Push your meal until after midnight and call it breakfast.
I rarely eat breakfast because I'm seldom hungry in the morning. For some reason, this morning I was. So I had breakfast. Probably won't eat lunch because I doubt I'll be hungry again until this evening.
