“FTA: > Exposure to light at night, which shuts off nighttime production of the hormone melatonin, renders breast cancer completely resistant to tamoxifen, a widely used breast cancer drug, says a new study.”

“The exercise-only group did not show the same changes in these pain-sensitivity measures. Only the inulin groups showed increases in the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) butyrate and in the peptide hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).”

“Previous studies have shown the positive effects have to do with the body's internal clocks (called circadian rhythm) which regulate everything from metabolism to hormone production to repairing damage. Eating late in the evening throws off the internal clocks and wreaks havoc on metabolism.”

“Body fat also alters hormone levels, which may increase the risk of developing hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast cancer. In addition, body fat secretes a wide array of pro-inflammatory substances that damage DNA and inhibit apoptosis.”

“Knocking DAF-2 and RSK-1 elicited a synergistic effect that increased the lifespan of the worms by 500 percent, suggesting that regulation of these two pathways is integral to the aging process in worms. Watch this clip for learn more about the evidence that altered growth hormone and insulin signaling may improve healthspan in humans, too.”

“They modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others, ultimately influencing body weight, performance, and susceptibility to disease.”

“The authors of the review summarized data describing sex-specific differences in ACE2 expression and activity, which may be due to differences in estrogen exposure or differences in the mixture of sex hormones present in women versus men.”

“Circadian rhythms are the body’s 24-hour cycles of biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns. They modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate sleep, hunger, metabolism, and others.”

“The researchers found that when the participants ate later in the day, their hunger and appetite-regulating hormones increased, but their energy expenditure decreased. In addition, eating late altered biochemical pathways involved in fat metabolism and storage.”

“When compared to conventional therapies such as hormones or anti-osteoporosis drugs, the plant-based treatments were roughly four to five times less effective at reducing bone loss.”
