Going several days without food does far more than simply force the body to burn fat. A study published in Nature Metabolism has shown that prolonged fasting triggers far-reaching biological changes throughout the body, including changes related to the brain, metabolism, and the immune system. The scientists found that many of the most significant effects […]Going several days without food does far more than simply force the body to burn fat.

Study Shows: Two Simple Dietary Habits Lead to Lower Body Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight may depend not only on food choices but also on the timing of meals. A study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that two habits are associated with a lower body mass index (BMI) in the long term: extending the nighttime fasting period and eating […]Maintaining a healthy weight may depend not only on food choices but also on the timing of meals.

Scientists Say That Most of What You Do Every Day Happens Automatically
A new study by researchers at the University of Surrey, the University of South Carolina, and Central Queensland University suggests that much of what we do every day is guided by habits rather than conscious decisions. Published in Psychology & Health, the study found that about two-thirds of daily behaviors are automatic, running on “autopilot” […]A new study by researchers at the University of Surrey, the University of South Carolina, and Central Queensland University suggests that much of what we do every day is guided by habits rather than conscious decisions.

To Improve Your Heart Health, You Should Stop Eating 3 Hours Before Going to Bed
Researchers at Northwestern Medicine investigated whether adjusting the nighttime fasting period to a person’s natural sleep-wake cycle could improve heart and metabolic health. The circadian rhythm plays a central role in regulating cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Importantly, participants did not reduce their calorie intake. The focus was solely on adjusting meal times. The study found […]Researchers at Northwestern Medicine investigated whether adjusting the nighttime fasting period to a person's natural sleep-wake cycle could improve heart and metabolic health.

Eating Habits: The Role Played by Certain Seasons
You might think that summer is healthier. The sun is shining, we get plenty of vitamin D, and the days are long. However, research findings from the University of Copenhagen suggest that winter eating habits are better for our metabolic health than summer eating habits, at least if you are a mouse. Researchers studied the […]You might think that summer is healthier. The sun is shining, we get plenty of vitamin D, and the days are long.
