Rotating Night Shift Work and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke,” American Journal of Epidemiology 169, no. Am already applying the principles of this book and look forward to some great results and improvements of my health conditions.

The most unscientific thing that he says is "Everyone should focus more on when they eat, instead of what they eat. If you pull an all-nighter at school or work, stay up late studying for a test, have a bad night’s sleep, travel across several time zones, stay awake late into the night to tend to a sick relative, or wake up a few times to feed and change a baby, then you too are a shift worker.Panda gives us the gift of understanding how we can access the wisdom of the body, easily support healthy circadian rhythms, and, in the process, prevent or reverse disease, more easily manage weight, and feel well rested and renewed every day.

Panda’s life-changing methods show you how to prevent and reverse ailments like diabetes, cancer, and dementia, as well as microbiome conditions like acid reflux, heartburn, and irritable bowel disease. As he explains, the four things to get right are: going to bed early EVERY night if possible, the times you eat during the day, physical activity and exposure to light at the right times. Further, probably due to his machine conception of the human body to the exclusion of human intelligence and choice, as well as to confirmation bias, he makes blanket statements about the importance of the circadian rhythm (e.And that, most importantly, if your daily schedule is out of sync with your circadian rhythms, you can fix it!

Not immediately but when we get older the body may start to break down showing diseases that are all too common now. All he brought with him was enough food, candles, and reading materials to keep him occupied for weeks. This is one of the underpinning arguments for time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting, and it relates to our circadian rhythms.

He tells you all of the consequences (disease, poor quality of life and premature death) and details his plan of action to become master of your own domain. In addition, many use incredibly unrealistic dosages, for example, the equivalent of 8L of diet coke per day (Harpaz, 2018). One of the essential factors to ensure longevity is to align your life with your body's circadian rhythms.

Nevertheless, if your circadian rhythm is out of whack (and that’s very likely due to our modern lifestyles), I think it’s worth trying to improve it. Or he includes all of them and hopes, that the reader might benefit from them the same way the scientists do: As foundation for further thought and (maybe self-?
