Bicarb Buffers Special Kind of Stress

DID YOU KNOW that jet lag does more than cause sleep disruption?

The study from iScience highlights that something as little as a 5-hour time delay may lead to reduced energy spent processing meals, changes in blood sugar and fat levels, and slower release of breakfast contents from the stomach.

The metabolic effects are temporary and most subjects recovered within 2-3 days of the 5-hour time delay. This was in marked contrast to the main clock in the brain, plus feelings of sleepiness and alertness, which had not recovered within 5 days of the 5-hour time delay.

This underscores the importance of maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, particularly when long trips and shift work are more common.

DID YOU KNOW that researchers publishing in Nature have discovered a mechanism behind the yo-yo weight effect: fat cells have a memory that is based on epigenetics?

As you've read here many times, epigenetics tells a cell what kind of cell it is and what it should do. Meaning the expression of our cells are dependent upon the choices we make diet and lifestyle-wise, as well as the environment we live in.

In the case of fat cells, they remember if you were in an overweight state and can return to this state more easily when they are receiving negative epigenetic messages.

What is the answer according to the authors? Practice prevention in as many facets of life as you can!
