WHY A CALORIE

CURFEW WORKS

The old adage ‘breakfast like a

king, lunch like a prince and dine

like a pauper’ may be sound

advice, especially for women,

suggests a new US study.

Research involving 112 young

women over a year found

those who consumed a higher

proportion of their calories in

the evening had a greater risk

of cardiovascular disease. Every

1% increase in calories after

6pm was linked to higher blood

pressure and body mass index,

and poorer long-term control

of blood sugar – all risk factors

for poorer heart health. More

research is needed to build on

these findings, but you won’t go

far wrong having a bigger bowl

of porridge for breakfast and less

pasta with your evening meal.

60

minutes

a day is the amount of

activity 11 to 17-year-

olds need to do to

lower the risk to their

physical and mental

health, says a World

report. There’s work to

be done: currently, 80%

don’t hit this target.
