As blue light exposure has increased with the rise in use of LED lighting and electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and computers, so too have concerns about the potential health impacts of this specific type of light. Studies indicate that blue light exposure can impact melatonin production and sleep timing, affecting the circadian […]
Circadian Rhythms and Mitochondria: The Chronobiology of Energy Production
Mitochondria serve a number of vital roles in the health and function of our bodies. Perhaps one of the most important is the role of these organelles, found in almost all of our cells, in energy production. Our mitochondria help transform the food we eat into the energy that fuels the activities of our cells […]
Body Temperature Rhythms Change With Age: Here’s How it Affects Your Health
A recent study conducted by University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers, offered interesting results concerning changes in body temperature rhythms. Published in Chronobiology International, a peer-reviewed journal specializing in biological and medical rhythm research, the results of the study linked those changes in body temperature patterns to aging and disease. The connection between aging […]
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 […]
Best Time of Day to Make a Decision Determined by Your Circadian Clock
Decisions are a part of life. We all make them — large and small, good and bad. Living our best lives and reaching our greatest potential could be said to be directly related to making better choices. And, according to numerous studies, the ability to make the best choices may hinge on understanding the importance […]
