Eating during the day instead of at night boosts mental health, according to new research that suggests eating before bed is bad for the brain.
Shift workers and long-distance travellers may benefit from 'meal time intervention' as both groups are prone to neurological diseases including dementia. A study found symptoms of anxiety and depression rise by 16 and 26 percent respectively after evening meals.
The lifestyles disrupt circadian rhythms - also known as the body clock - sending the brain's grey matter out of kilter and affecting daily behaviours such as sleeping, waking, fasting and eating. The disruption increases the risks of depression and anxiety up to 40 percent.
