Why you should Eat early? 

Eating late night puts people at danger of heart attacks & strokes, warn experts.
Adults should ideally eat before 7 PM

Dinner within 2 hours of going to bed keeps the body on high alert & blood pressure doesn't fall properly overnight
Eating late can do more damage to the heart than having a diet with high in salt

I would like to quote a simple sentence “Prevention is better than cure”
It is well known fact that, our ancestors used to go to bed very early after dinner before around 8pm and used to wake up in early morning. This may be the reason for their fitness and sound health.
