It is important to control your total calorie intake throughout the day.
Violation of the biorhythm of sleep and wakefulness, as well as a diet «off schedule» are not as important for the body as previously assumed.
Experts from the Salk Institute for Biological Research noted that humans and animals have a «biological clock»: some genes in the body are turned on during the day, others at night. The first include genes responsible for digestion, the second — regenerative.
Previously, it was believed that if you knock down the daily cycles, then metabolic disorders will begin.
However, according to scientists, the consequences of violation of the regime can be eliminated in just 10 hours.
Experts conducted a study — they deliberately knocked down the circadian rhythm in two groups of mice. The former were then given round-the-clock access to food, while the latter were only allowed to eat for 10 hours a day.
As a result, the representatives of the first group began to quickly gain weight, in addition to weight, their blood sugar levels increased.
The second group of rodents, the researchers note, did not recover or suffer from health problems.
Scientists have come to the conclusion that the main thing is to consume food for 10 hours, regardless of what time of day it is. If you follow this rule, you can not get better, eating well after 18.00.
