Today National Public Radio (NPR) released an article on chronobiology and how our body’s internal clocks affect our health, particularly our weight and diet. The article titled “Circadian Surprise: How Our Body Clocks Help Shape Our Waistlines” examines the relationship between the desynchronization of the circadian rhythm and metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. They spoke to some […]
How Does Daylight Saving Time Affect Our Circadian Rhythm?
Sleep disturbances are surprisingly common in the Western world. Many people struggle to get to sleep at a reasonable hour and then spend their days exhausted. Modern research into chronobiology, or the science of our bodies’ internal clocks, suggests that a lack of sleep can even contribute to disease. In honor of Sleep Awareness Week, […]
Skin and the Circadian Rhythm: The Internal Clocks of Skin Cells
Circadian rhythms, or internal 24-hour biological clocks, are the subject of many current research trials. Scientists are only beginning to discover the effects of light and dark cycles on the human body, which comprise a new field of biology called chronobiology. The latest research shows that these internal clocks control not only our moods, energy […]
Late Night Snacking: Bad for Your Brain?
Researchers have found that late night snacking can be bad for your waistline, even contributing to type 2 diabetes. However, the latest research is finding that your late night bowl of ice cream or potato chips can negatively affect your brain as well. A study from UCLA found that learning and memory are both decreased when […]
Find Your Chronotype From theWeP
The Worldwide Experimental Platform (theWeP) is devoted to the study of human behavior, which is still poorly understood, at least compared to human biology. It was devised by researchers at four different universities (three in Europe and one in the Philippines). Researchers have made great strides in studying human biology through the use of laboratory […]
