It is believed that light in the evening is bad for sleep. But does the color of the light also play a role? Researchers from the University of Basel and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) compared the influence of different colors of light on the human body. The experts’ results contradict the results of […]
Can Using Less Energy During the Day Lead to Obesity?
Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of health problems such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Schedules and individual sleep, eating and exercise rhythms can also impact health by either complementing or contradicting the body’s natural circadian rhythm. […]
Circadian Rhythm: New Research Reveals How the Body Clock is Regulated and What Causes Misalignment
New research from a multidisciplinary team is helping to shed light on the mechanisms behind circadian rhythms and offer new hope for dealing with jet lag, insomnia and other sleep disorders. Using innovative cryo-electron microscopy techniques, researchers have identified the structure of the circadian rhythm photosensor and its target in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster), one […]
Migraine and Cluster Headache: The Role of the Circadian Rhythm
Both cluster headaches and migraines have strong connections to the circadian system, the internal clock that regulates body processes, according to a meta-analysis published March 29, 2023 in the online edition of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Cluster Headache More Severe in Women Cluster headache is a rare headache disorder, […]
Time-Restricted Eating Alters Gene Expression Throughout the Body
Numerous studies have shown the health benefits of a time-restricted diet, including an increase in lifespan. But how this exactly affects the body at the molecular level, and how these changes interact across multiple organ systems, is not yet fully understood. Salk scientists have been able to show in studies how time-restricted eating affects gene […]
