Circadian Rhythms Sync Body Functions
- Our bodies have biological functions pre-programmed to follow roughly 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms.
- Light and meal timing are key external cues that synchronize these internal clocks.
Limit Eating Window for Health
- Eat all calories within a consistent 8-10 hour window daily to improve sleep and gut health.
- Limit eating to give your stomach ample time to repair, reducing inflammation and improving energy.
Stomach Repairs During Fasting
- After eating, the stomach works for 6-7 hours to digest food, delaying repairs.
- The stomach lining renews every 15 days, requiring extended fasting time for healing overnight.
