Bryan Johnson eats his last meal at 11 am, typically legumes, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. He says finishing digestion before bed lowers his resting heart rate by 8:30 pm and dramatically improves sleep quality. He calls early, light eating the single most powerful health intervention.
At around 11am, I eat my final meal of the day. Unlike my first two meals, this one always changes, but it's some combination of legumes, veggies, nuts, seeds, berries, and extra virgin olive oil. For example, today I'm eating a roasted vegetable bowl with lentils, zucchini, and cauliflower. I choose to eat early in the day because it allows my body to finish digesting my food prior to the time I sleep. At 8:30pm this dramatically lowers my resting heart rate, which dramatically improves my sleep. If you want to get started, the single most powerful thing you can do for your health is to eat earlier and lighter. You want to do this to lower your resting heart rate, and once you master this skill, you'll learn that everything else that increases your heart rate before bed is bad for your sleep, and that which lowers your heart rate before bed is good for you.
