CRUNCH TIME

The time of day that people with diabetes eat certain foods may be just as important to their wellbeing as portion size and calories, according to a new study by The Endocrine Society. The researchers analysed data from 4,642 people and found people with diabetes who ate potatoes or starchy vegetables in the morning, whole grains in the afternoon, and dark vegetables such as greens and broccoli and milk in the evening were less likely to die from heart disease. Meanwhile, those who ate a lot of processed meat in the evening were more likely to die from heart disease.
