Circadian Rhythms
- Circadian rhythms are daily cycles of sleeping, working, eating, and exercising.
- These rhythms are controlled by clocks in almost every cell and organ, influencing various bodily functions.
Time-Restricted Eating

- Aligning eating times with these rhythms can significantly impact health, regardless of calorie intake.
Mice and Time-Restricted Eating

- They avoided obesity, diabetes, and other diseases, outperforming mice eating healthy diets at random times.
