Most people associate the circadian rhythm with its role in helping to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. However, this approximately 24-hour cycle also helps to regulate the timing of numerous bodily processes, including those involved with metabolism and hormone production. Understanding the relationship between the circadian rhythm and weight loss can help you to optimize your […]
Chronobiology and Diabetes: Harnessing the Circadian Rhythm for Better Management
Modern medicine is making great strides in the understanding and management of diabetes. One of the most exciting developments is the relationship between diabetes, a near epidemic-level chronic disease, and the circadian rhythm. Diabetes is, at essence, a metabolic system disorder, a malfunction in the metabolism of glucose that disrupts the finely balanced system that […]
Scientists Strive to Determine the Best Time of Day to Take Medication
As medical scientists gain a deeper understanding of chronobiology, they are seeing great potentials for improving the treatment of disease. An important element of that improvement includes the potential to develop what has been termed “personalized circadian medicine,” an approach to care that utilizes a person’s own individual biological rhythms. According to research scientists, circadian […]
New Research Pinpoints the Best Time to Exercise for Men and Women
A new study conducted by a team of researchers from Skidmore College, Arizona State University and California State University provided further insight into how the time of day can impact the outcome of exercise. Published in Frontiers in Physiology, a peer reviewed journal, this new study confirms prior research indicating that exercise timing can influence […]
A Disrupted Circadian Rhythm Impacts Healthy Fat, Fat Storage
A new study conducted by an international team of researchers demonstrated that the circadian rhythm impacts healthy fat tissue function. The study, recently published in Nature, showed that circadian rhythm disruption, especially when paired with a high fat diet, can have long-term effects on fat tissue and where fat is stored in the body. Fat […]
