Have you heard popular advice to avoid eating at night? Have you ever been told that eating a large breakfast can actually help weight loss? Many links between internal clocks and the endocrine system have been revealed in several recently published studies in chronobiology. Some of the most recent research suggests that blood glucose levels […]
NPR Releases New Article on Circadian Rhythms and Weight Management
Today National Public Radio (NPR) released an article on chronobiology and how our body’s internal clocks affect our health, particularly our weight and diet. The article titled “Circadian Surprise: How Our Body Clocks Help Shape Our Waistlines” examines the relationship between the desynchronization of the circadian rhythm and metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. They spoke to some […]
Late Night Snacking: Bad for Your Brain?
Researchers have found that late night snacking can be bad for your waistline, even contributing to type 2 diabetes. However, the latest research is finding that your late night bowl of ice cream or potato chips can negatively affect your brain as well. A study from UCLA found that learning and memory are both decreased when […]
Time-Restricted Diets Could Help Fight Obesity: A Chronobiological Study
Losing weight may just be a matter of time—literally! Chronobiology, a growing field of biological sciences, studies the difference between the internal processes that take place in the bodies of living organisms and compares how these processes react during the daylight and during nighttime. Recent research by renowned chronobiologist Dr. Satchidananda Panda, an associate professor at the […]
Chronobiology and the Science of Time
Chronobiology refers to the process by which organisms time their behavior and physiology so that everything behaves rhythmically. In other words, it is biological timing. It is the rhythms of life; the internal clocks that control when you wake up, eat, digest your food and perform nearly every function that an organism is to perform. […]
