The key is not...The time of evening is not the key. The key is not eating for 3 hours prior to bedtime. If you go to bed @ midnight, eating @ 8p is fine. Here's something else my wise, Jew doc, who lived in Italy for awhile, told me. That classic Italian evening stroll after supper is a key component to the Mediterranean diet. Just a stroll, nice and easy. Even if it's only a few blocks. It helps digestion, making you less prone to acid reflux, or agita, as Eyetalians call it. It also is helpful in lowering blood sugars, that can spike in the evening.ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-5741086966183446722016-09-01T14:00:18.599-04:002016-09-01T14:00:18.599-04:00I think this describes me to a T.

Are strokes and heart attacks off the charts among Spaniards, or has the Spanish physiology adjusted to eating closer to bedtime? Or perhaps bedtime in Spain is 1 AM, not likely. ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-68547106083171531862016-09-01T11:24:31.055-04:002016-09-01T11:24:31.055-04:00Oh, boy, ain't that the truth.
