TRF creates fat loss and staves off disease

George DiGianni Health and Wellness

A high-carb diet and high blood sugar are associated with cognitive decline. What are ketones? What is ketosis and is it dangerous? (Compare to keto-acidosis) Can all cells, tissues, and organs in the body potentially use ketones and which benefit the most from ketones. Dr. Satchin Panda microbiologist studies the circadian rhythms? of the body. Every cell in the body follows this Circadian Rhythm which governs when a cell is most metabolically active, when hormones are produced and when repairs and processes are active.??? Our internal clock tells us when it’s time to wake, when to rest and when to begin eating? and when to wind down. To learn more about Dr. Panda’s studies: http://mycircadianclock.org/

A few years ago Dr. Panda? began looking at how food affects our clocks in each organ. In our liver, there are 3000-5000 genes that turn on or off at different parts of the day.

?One experiment his team gave food to mice during the day, (mice eat at night) to see if it would affect gene expression. The first exposure to light and bite of food determines how our body clock works. Dr. Panda coined the phrase TRF Time-Restricted Feeding which he defines as eating during an 8-12 hr period during light exposure only. This produced fat loss, increased lean muscle mass, decreased inflammation, improved heart function, ketone production and aerobic endurance. Every organ in our body has an internal clock and it tells each organ when to be at peak performance and when to rest. W?hat many people may not know is that 10-15% of our genome is tied to our circadian rhythm and 40-50% of those genes are tied to metabolism.? Dr. Panda went on to give an example of how street lights have to be timed just right to prevent traffic accidents. Not unlike the clock in our liver and how it distributes food and the process, it goes through. Not everything happens at once such as breaking down protein, making glucose etc. Artificial sweeteners, sugar and other things that cause a disruption in this process lead to metabolic issues attracting disease. Diabetes, heart disease cancer etc. We’re forcing our organs to work at times they are winding down, in turn, trying to force them to work at their optimal levels which cause traffic jams, and accidents using his traffic light metaphor about attracting disease. They also found, and cannot explain people will gain muscle mass just by using this TRF. Which completely negates the thought of having to eat every 2-3 hrs. He did say the quality of calories does matter but if someone had to choose one first to then incorporate the other, TRF during 8-12 hours daylight would be that choice. Their findings show most people eat over a 15 hour period
