New research has discovered that eating chocolate in the morning provides health benefits for postmenopausal women, underscoring the positive role meal timing plays in human health. How Does Meal Timing Affect Health? While the circadian rhythm regulates body functions in relation to the time of day, each organ in our body has its own schedule […]
Disrupted Circadian Rhythm Linked to Myopia
During the past decade, eye health professionals have become increasingly concerned about a startling rise in both the rate and severity of myopia. Commonly referred to as nearsightedness, myopia has been increasing on a global scale, and quite dramatically in many world regions. Children in urban Asian areas, for example, are experiencing skyrocketing rates, with […]
Sleep, the Circadian Rhythm and COVID-19
Current science notes important connections between sleep quality, the circadian rhythm and COVID-19 and other health threats. These links relate to the impact of sleep quality on circadian rhythm health and optimal immune system functioning, as well as to the influence of circadian rhythms on how the immune system physically functions. In terms of COVID-19, […]
How Time of Day Affects Immune System Function
Numerous studies have demonstrated that many of the essential tasks of the immune system are governed by a 24-hour cycle of activity. In practical terms, this means that the time of day affects immune system function in important ways, including immune system cell activity and overall systemic threat response. This 24-hour cycle, known as the […]
Intermittent Fasting Improves Memory, May Slow Cognitive Decline
An intriguing new study published in Molecular Biology showed that intermittent fasting improves memory — especially long-term memory retention. Conducted on mice at King’s College London by researchers in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, the study also noted that intermittent fasting was associated with the development of new adult hippocampal neurons. Researchers theorize […]
