🌟 Health Hack of the Week 🌟 

Have you been fasting wrong?

If you've been on a quest to shed those extra pounds, chances are you've come across the buzz around intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating. It's become a trendy topic, especially thanks to the influence of social media. However, if you're seeking reliable guidance on this subject, look no further than Dr. Satchidananda, or "Satchin" Panda. Dr. Panda is a distinguished professor at the Regulatory Biology Laboratory within the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. His research is centered on chronobiology, which delves into the study of our body's day-night cycles, using genetic, genomic, and biochemical methods.

His expertise lies in circadian rhythms, and he's a true pioneer in the realm of time-restricted eating.

Circadian rhythms are the body's natural 24-hour cycles that govern an array of physiological processes. This includes the production of hormones that control important functions like sleep, hunger, and metabolism. Ultimately, these rhythms have a profound impact on our body weight, overall performance, and susceptibility to various diseases. The connection between when and how much we sleep, eat, and exercise, and how these activities affect our health, is tied to our circadian rhythms. So, it's safe to say that understanding these rhythms can have significant implications for extending our healthspan and improving our well-being.

Many people practicing fasting tend to skip breakfast, which often results in meals being pushed to later in the day, sometimes uncomfortably close to bedtime. This eating pattern can potentially disrupt your circadian rhythm and impact your overall health.

The key idea is to avoid eating close to bedtime, as it can disrupt your circadian rhythms and negatively affect sleep quality and overall health. By giving your body an extended fasting period overnight, you allow it to undergo important repair and regeneration processes.

💡 Habit Tip 💡 

Building healthy habits has never been easier. Small changes, big impact! 🔄 

One valuable tip from James Clear's book "Atomic Habits" is to focus on making small, incremental changes. Clear emphasizes the idea that significant improvements can result from tiny, consistent actions.

Here's a practical tip to get started: "Start with a 'Two-Minute Rule.'"

This rule suggests that when you're trying to establish a new habit, begin by breaking it down into a task that takes just two minutes or less to complete. For example, if you want to build a habit of daily exercise, your initial goal could be as simple as putting on your workout clothes or doing one push-up.

The key is to make it so easy that you can't say no. Once you've mastered this small step and it becomes a consistent part of your routine, you can gradually increase the difficulty or duration of the habit. This approach helps you build momentum and overcome the resistance that often comes with starting new habits. Over time, these small changes can lead to remarkable transformations in your life.
