  Speaker 1: Okay, if you're about to have breakfast and you're right
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: in front of your table, can you hang in there
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: for 21 more minutes?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, you have to.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Don't eat till 7. It's 106.7 Light FM, Cubby and Christine.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We have a story about the best time for breakfast,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and apparently it's between 7 and 8, right?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: So what's the deal?
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I guess if you're working normal hours, you can do that.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking if you're not up supremely early. Yeah, researchers
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: are saying that you should be eating between 7 and 8.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Because you'll have the lowest mortality risk.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And what happens if you wait until 8?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: If you wait later. Then it's linked to a 10%
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: higher risk of death.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: If you eat breakfast between 8 and 10?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: 10% higher risk of death?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Between 10 a.m. and noon, 19% higher. And for people
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: who don't eat their first meal until afternoon, that risk
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: goes up to 29%. So... Meal timing can affect the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: body's internal clock, which plays a role in your circadian
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: rhythm and your metabolism. And so also they say that
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: eating dinner between 7 and 8 p.m.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Is the best.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And you should avoid eating after midnight. Again, I think
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: this is all like, how does your day pitch? Do
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: We're all different, right?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Like, do you start your day earlier? Because dinner between
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: 7 and 8 sounds.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Late to me.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Like everything for us is shifted about three hours ahead.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So maybe if you're up right now.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Like if you get up at 3.30 like we do,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: 3 a.m., you're probably having breakfast maybe at 5.30, 6 a.m.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and having dinner at 4 p.m. Right. Makes more sense.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But that's pretty crazy. So again, between 7 and 8
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is the sweet spot.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It just looks like the message I'm taking away
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: from this is the earlier you start in the day
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you're eating, the better, the healthier for you. I mean,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that's why I was told by a nutritionist years ago.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: She's like, get your metabolism going as soon as you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: get up.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Gosh.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I want to try intermittent fasting. I know this is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: off topic. Oh, yeah. But Kristen gave me a weird look.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Is it hard? Have you done it before?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: No?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You've never done it? I'm kind of thinking about how
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: we get up in the morning, just have coffee, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: don't eat anything until maybe lunch. I don't know about you,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: but we eat lunch like at 11 a.m. Right. Because
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we get up so early. Yes. But I think you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: have to go longer than that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Do you get a six-hour window to eat or something?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. I have to do more research on it,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: but I've heard great things about it, especially if you
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: want to shed a few pounds like I do.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, you've got all your thinking to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: do really, really early, like right now. So you need
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: some fuel right now. So maybe your window, like where
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you would eat, would start super, super early and just close, boom,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: at like two or three in the afternoon.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Right, right. If you ever try to let me know, 44363.
