“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.”

“Citrate also gets converted into acetyl CoA, which is one of two precursors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is important for REM sleep, learning, and memory. The other precursor for acetylcholine is choline!”

“Circadian rhythms 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.”

“Still, the findings suggest that something as simple as access to daylight at work could support blood sugar stability in people with type 2 diabetes. In this clip, I explain how HIIT, circadian-timed eating, and quality sleep improve metabolic health and reduce chronic disease risk.”

“Controlled laboratory studies confirm caffeine consumption within three hours of bedtime results in disrupted sleep patterns. Practical recommendations include limiting coffee intake to the early part of the day—ideally ceasing caffeine consumption at least 8–10 hours before bedtime.”

“Conventional health advice, such as healthy eating, physical activity, and education level are linked with slowed epigenetic aging, albeit weakly, and obesity, sleep deprivation, and smoking are linked with accelerated epigenetic aging.”

“There are many diet and lifestyle factors that can lower a person's risk for Alzheimer's particularly if they have the apoE4 allele including diet high in vegetables, fruit and wild salmon, good sleep, low alcohol intake, and no smoking.”

“[...] > In the brain, adenosine is a neurotransmitter that helps us sleep and helps regulate our blood pressure; in the body it's also a component of the cell fuel adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.”
