What is the ideal breakfast and dinner time to increase longevity? New study shows

oglobo26 August 2026 at 15:07

A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, conducted with more than 30,000 American adults aged 40 or older, found that meal timing may be associated with mortality risk and life expectancy. The research revealed that starting the day with the first meal later was associated with a progressively greater risk of death from any cause and cardiovascular disease. People who had their first meal after noon had a 29% higher risk of death from any cause compared to those who had their first meal between 7 and 8 in the morning, suggesting that when we eat may be just as important as what we eat.

The deserts of Egypt hide a shark graveyard with 100 million years

Scientists discovered a shark graveyard about 100 million years old in the Western Desert of Egypt, a region that 150 million years ago was a vast tropical sea known as the Abu-Tartur plateau. A new study published in the journal Cretaceous Research revealed traces of ancient aquatic creatures, including prehistoric sharks, that inhabited these waters before the era of the pharaohs.

The gut has become a topic among celebrities: after all, what is dysbiosis?

Intestinal health, especially dysbiosis, has become a popular topic on social media, with celebrities like Mônica Iozzi and Gabi Brandt sharing their experiences with gastrointestinal problems. The term, once restricted to medical offices, is now part of everyday conversation, but popularization brings risks of confusion, since not every abdominal discomfort is related to the gut microbiota. Experts warn that similar symptoms can indicate different gastrointestinal conditions, and proper diagnosis requires medical evaluation, not just comparison with stories found on the internet.
