限时进食改善消防员健康
拉霍亚—消防员是我们社会的英雄，全天候保护着我们。但这些 24 小时的轮班工作对身体非常不利，并且会增加患心脏代谢疾病（如心脏病和糖尿病）以及癌症的风险。圣地亚哥消防局与索尔克研究所和加州大学圣地亚哥分校健康中心的科学家合作进行的一项临床试验发现，限时进食可以改善消防员的健康和福祉指标。这种生活方式干预措施仅要求消防员在 10 小时的时间窗口内进食，并且不涉及跳餐。. 阅读更多 »

加乔拉——限时进食（TRE）是一种将进食时间限制在特定时段内的饮食方式，在减肥领域受到越来越多的关注。索尔克科学家的一项新研究进一步表明，TRE 除了减肥之外，还具有多种健康益处。研究还表明，这些益处可能因性别和年龄而异。. 阅读更多 »
LA JOLLA—Salk researchers have discovered how to curb the growth of cancer cells by blocking the cells’ access to certain nutrients. The approach, detailed in a new paper published today in 自然, took advantage of knowledge on how healthy cells use a 24-hour cycle to regulate the production of nutrients and was tested on glioblastoma brain tumors in mice. 阅读更多 »
Salk scientists show how timed feeding could help fight “metabolic jetlag”
Breakfast, lunch and dinner? For too many of us, the three meals of the day go more like: morning meeting pastry, mid-afternoon energy drink and midnight pizza. In <em>Cell Metabolism</em> on September 24, Salk Institute scientists present daily food and beverage intake data collected from over 150 participants of a mobile research app over three weeks. They show that a majority of people eat for 15 hours or longer, with less than a quarter of the day’s calories being consumed before noon and over a third consumed after 6 p.m. 阅读更多 »
Salk researchers tinker with a time-restricted diet in mice and find that it is remarkably forgiving.
These days, with the abundance of artificial light, TV, tablets and smartphones, adults and children alike are burning the midnight oil. What they are not burning is calories: with later bedtimes comes the tendency to eat. Read more »
Mutations in the circadian genes could drive night eating syndrome.
For most people, the urge to eat a meal or snack comes at a few, predictable times during the waking part of the day. But for those with a rare syndrome, hunger comes at unwanted hours, interrupts sleep and causes overeating. Read more »
It turns out that when we eat may be as important as what we eat. Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have found that regular eating times and extending the daily fasting period may override the adverse health effects of a high-fat diet and prevent obesity, diabetes and liver disease in mice.
