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 […]
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 […]
Skipping Breakfast Could be Detrimental to Your Health
Many people in the Western world skip breakfast, and it is easy to see why. Mornings are often the most hectic part of the day, with just an hour or two to get from our beds to our schools or workplaces. Commutes are getting longer and offices are opening earlier than ever before. As a […]
Cancer and the Circadian Clock: Maintaining Balance for Cellular Health
Operating on the approximately 24-hour circadian rhythm that mirrors the earth’s day-night cycle, the circadian clock plays a vital role in regulating the timing of essential bodily processes. As such, the circadian clock is tightly connected to human health. Chronic circadian rhythm disruption, such as that typically experienced by shift workers, significantly increases the risk […]
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 […]
