Sometimes, one simple change in your lifestyle can become the gateway to better health and overall well-being. Of these, making a change in your dinner time earlier in the night is one that's softly becoming a celebrity and health practitioners' favourite, too. Indian celebrities such as Akshay Kumar, who is famous for his strict routine, and Anushka Sharma, who proudly discusses her careful food habits, swear by the advantages of having early dinners. 

Experts vouch that it's not just a celebrity trend, and science strongly supports the health benefits of syncing your final meal to your body's natural circadian rhythm. In an exclusive interaction with the editorial team of Onlymyhealth, our expert, Dr Eileen Canday, Celebrity Nutritionist, Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital, Andheri East - Mumbai, explained the many benefits. Read ahead to find out.

Why Celebrities Prefer Early Dinners

“In contrast to passing diet fads, the ritual of having dinner early has staying power,” Dr Canday shared. For people who require constant energy, a slim body, and a radiant complexion, dining light and early is not about convenience; it's about health.

Benefits of Early Dinners

According to Dr Canday, here are a few benefits of early dinners:

1. Facilitates Improved Digestion

If you take food early, your system has enough time to digest the food before sleep. This prevents indigestion, acidity, and bloating, which are the usual issues associated with late-night food. Dr Canday highlighted that Akshay Kumar has frequently mentioned that he eats only till 7 pm, giving his system a full night's rest.

2. Enhances Sleep Quality

Late or heavy dinners may disrupt deep sleep, causing fatigue the following day. “Celebrities prevent this by eating dinner early, so they have a good sleep and wake up refreshed, which is important to radiate on screen,” she added.

3. Assists in Weight Control

Early evening meals can control insulin levels and prevent excessive fat storage. Dr Canday clarified that as the duration between dinner and breakfast increases, the body defaults to fat-burning mode, a principle consistent with intermittent fasting.

4. Increases Metabolism & Energy Levels

Studies suggest that metabolism slows down in the evening hours. Late-night eating compels the body to digest food more slowly, causing drowsiness. Malaika Arora and Shilpa Shetty are spokespersons for early dinners being key to remaining fit and energetic.

5. Aligns With the Body’s Natural Clock

Our internal clock controls the way in which we metabolise food. Research implies that eating according to daylight improves the uptake of nutrients and minimises the risk of lifestyle illnesses. Anushka Sharma revealed in one of her interviews that she likes having early dinners for a light and happy body, following this scientific logic.

Bottomline

What began as a personal health decision among responsible celebrities has become mainstream health advice. Early evening meals not only contribute to weight control but also improve overall long-term heart health, gut health, and mental acuity. It's a change in lifestyle that needs no supplement, no radical diets, and no additional expense, only a little discipline.
