Do you eat breakfast at lunchtime and dinner at a time when you’d normally be sleeping during weekends? This inconsistency is what researchers call “eating jet lag” and it might be hurting men’s – you read it right, only men’s – hearts.

Such a shift in eating patterns may disrupt the body’s biological rhythms and could have implications for cardiovascular health, according to a new French study. Each additional hour of “eating jet lag” increased the risk of cardiovascular disease by 14% and the risk of coronary heart disease by 21% among men, researchers found.
