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.

Scientists Reveal How the Timing of Breakfast Can Affect Your Life Expectancy
As we age, both the type and amount of food we consume tend to change. However, the relationship between mealtimes and our health remains largely unclear. Researchers at Mass General Brigham and their collaborators studied changes in meal times among older adults and found that meal times gradually shift with age. They also identified characteristics […]As we age, both the type and amount of food we consume tend to change. However, the relationship between mealtimes and our health remains largely unclear.
