Avoid Late Night Eating To Live Longer, Be Healthier

If you want to live a long healthy life and avoid chronic degenerative diseases then it is important to have a minimum of 3 hours after your last food intake before you go to bed and to sleep.

This is due to the way the human body produces energy. Many people do not realize that mitochondria are responsible for “burning” the fuel the body consumes and converts into usable energy.

These tiny bacterial derivatives live inside cells and are optimized to create energy from the food we eat and the O2 in the air we breathe. Cells have between 100 and 100,000 mitochondria.

The mitochondria create energy by generating electrons that are normally transferred to ATP (adenosine triphosphate). When you do not have insulin resistance this energy transfer works very well, but when insulin resistant or you eat excessively, dysfunctions emerge.

When a person consumes more calories than the body can use immediately, there will be an excess of free electrons, which back up inside your mitochondria.

These electrons are highly reactive and they start to leak out of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. These excess electrons leak out and wind up prematurely killing the mitochondria, and then wreak more havoc by damaging cell membranes and contributing to DNA mutations.

There are many knowledgeable experts that believe this type of mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the Keys to accelerated aging.

The Big Q: So how do I apply this knowledge?

The Big A: Resolve insulin resistance as soon as you can, and do not eat for at least 3 hours before you go to sleep.

Our body uses the least amount of calories when sleeping, so the last thing any of us need is excess fuel at this time that will generate excessive free radicals that will damage your tissues, accelerate aging, and contribute to chronic disease.

Interestingly, if a person has insulin resistance, intermittent fasting is, the most powerful intervention known of to help you resolve it. This is a Key reasons to skip dinner instead skipping breakfast.

Clearly skipping dinner is more difficult to implement from a social perspective, but it might be a superior biological strategy.

Eat healthy, Be healthy, Live lively.
