Circadian fasting is a popular topic these days, and for good reason! Fasting for the 2.5 hours before bedtime (and through the full sleep window) improves body composition. You can boost this effect by also:

• resting (not exercising)

• dimming the lights (less than <3.0 lux, or <1.0 lux for more light-sensitive people—that’s as bright as the full moon, or a single candle flame)

These "fasts" from food, exercise, and light work by synchronizing circadian rhythms. This in turn changes the genome itself to express in healthier ways. Check out the research here: Circadian rhythms, food timing and obesity (2016).

That's all for today, but you can always review the archive here. I will send more natural fitness research in my upcoming emails📩.
