When intermittent fasting became all the rage among Hollywood stars, skeptics were skeptical of the idea of skipping meals. But research from the University of Georgia suggests that the celebrities might not have been so wrong after all.

Scientists Reveal How the Human Body Changes After Seven Days of Fasting
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.

Could Insulin Tablets Soon Replace Daily Injections?
For more than 100 years, scientists have been pursuing the idea of insulin in tablet form, often referred to as the “dream therapy” for diabetes. The challenge lay within the body itself. Enzymes in the digestive system break down the insulin before it can take effect, and the intestines lack a natural way to absorb […]For more than 100 years, scientists have been pursuing the idea of insulin in tablet form, often referred to as the “dream therapy” for diabetes.

The Circadian Clock of Cells Continues to Tick Even During a Famine
Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and recover more quickly from long-term malnutrition, as shown in a study published in eLife. This discovery helps explain why changes in the body’s circadian rhythm-such as night work and jet lag-can increase the risk of metabolic diseases such […]Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and recover more quickly from long-term malnutrition, as shown in a study published in eLife.
