Mechanism that Controls When We Sleep and When We Wake Discovered Simple 2-cycle mechanism turns key brain neurons on or off during 24-hour day. Fifteen years ago, an odd mutant fruit fly caught the attention and curiosity of Dr. Ravi Allada, a circadian rhythms expert at Northwestern University, leading the neuroscientist to recently discover howContinue reading “Potassium rich foods in the afternoon and sodium rich foods in the morning for sleep”

Wounds sustained during the day heal twice as fast as those that occur at night
Whenever you are injured, a type of skin cell known as fibroblasts, move into the region to pave the way for new cells to grow. Fibroblasts are known to “keep their own time,” writes Roni Dengler at Science, periodically changing activity depending on the time of day. But the details of the process remained largely unclear.
To better understand these rhythms, Nathaniel Hoyle and his team at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge took a closer look at the fibroblasts. While studying how proteins produced by the cells vary throughout the day, they discovered that proteins important to healing were most abundant when the sun was up.
Does Cancer Grow More Aggressively at Night? by Dr Michael Breus
Scientists studying relationships between different types of cells have encountered some new and potentially important information about how — and when — cancerous tumors grow most aggressively. According to a new study, cancerous tumors may grow faster at night, during the hours typically taken up by sleep. Their discovery may point the way toward new,Continue reading “Does Cancer Grow More Aggressively at Night? by Dr Michael Breus”
Anti-aging steroids, pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA
PREGNENOLONE, A FRUIT OF CHOLESTEROL Mother of Progesterone & D.H.E.A. The following information comes from Dr. Ray Peat, who has done pioneering research on the anti-aging steroids, pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone). I have included excerpts from his writings plus the results of interviews. Research references are provided when available, but in many cases, IContinue reading “Anti-aging steroids, pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA”
