Eating late at night is putting millions of people in danger of heart attacks and strokes, experts warn.

Heart experts have advised that adults should never eat within two hours of bedtime – and ideally, nothing after 7pm.Millions of people are putting themselves at higher risk of a heart attack or stroke by eating after 7pm, researchers have warned.

People who do not see their blood pressure fall at night are known as ‘non-dippers’ – and have a much higher rate of heart-related death. Late eaters were nearly three times more likely to be non-dippers, the Turkish researchers found. Dr Özpelit, from the Dokuz Eylül University in Turkey, tracked 721 people diagnosed with high blood pressure, with an average age of 53. She found that those who ate within two hours of going to bed were 2.8 times more likely to retain high blood pressure overnight.

Experts estimate that 40 per cent of patients with hypertension are non-dippers – potentially 3.76million people in Britain– putting them at serious risk of major heart problems.
