Evening hours play an important role in cardiovascular health. According to cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, who has more than 20 years of experience treating heart disease, several common evening habits can significantly influence the risk of heart attack and stroke. Factors such as diet, sleep quality, stress, and daily routines all contribute to long-term heart health.

Eating Late Can Affect Your Heart

As a result, eating large meals or consuming foods high in sugar late at night can make it more difficult for the body to regulate blood sugar.
