They discovered a group of immune cells that play a […]

(Natural News) A little stress may help a person’s body clock run better, suggests a study published in the journal Neuron. The body has its own internal clock called the circadian clock. It runs in the background to carry out essential functions, which occur in alignment with certain circadian rhythms, such as the sleep-wake cycle. A closer […]

(Natural News) Every person has a circadian clock, an invisible internal mechanism synchronized with solar time. This “clock,” according to the National Sleep Foundation, drives a person’s circadian rhythm, which regulates daily sleep-wake cycles. As it turns out, even plants have one, too. First discovered in 1729 by French geophysicist and chronobiologist Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de […]

(Natural News) The importance of right timing when it comes to food intake was once again made evident in a recent study published in the journal Cell Reports. In it, researchers from Texas A&M University discovered that the time you eat has profound effects on the metabolic functions and rhythm of biological processes. Eating at the wrong time […]

(Natural News) When nutritionists, researchers, and health experts met at the The Royal Society of Medicine in London last November to discuss Chrono-nutrition: circadian clocks, mealtimes, and metabolic disorders, they all agreed that reducing calorie intake is a thing of the past when it comes to reducing weight. Dietary guidelines should now be based on balanced daily intake […]

(Natural News) When you’re following a certain diet, you usually avoid unhealthy foods full of fat and sugar. According to a study, incorporating your sleep patterns into your diet plans also promotes weight loss. Dr. Jonathan Johnston, a reader in chronobiology and integrative physiology at the University of Surrey, presented the study findings at a conference […]

(Natural News) You have probably heard of all the healthy foods you should eat to slow down the inexorable process of aging. But a new study is suggesting that skipping a meal every now and then can also help you keep looking and feeling young. Researchers at the University of California (UC), Irvine recently discovered that the circadian clocks of […]
