Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A new study suggests that waiting at least an hour after dinner before going to sleep reduces your risk of stroke by about two-thirds.
And for every 20 minutes more that you wait, stroke risk drops another 10%, says researcher Cristina-Maria Kastorini, MSc, a nutritionist at the University of Ioannina Medical School in Greece.
The study does not prove cause and effect -- only that there seems to be an association between waiting an hour or more between dinner and bedtime and reduced stroke risk.
Results of the 1,000-patient study were presented here at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2011.
