Scientists have discovered that your circadian rhythms regulate the energy levels in your cells. In addition, the proteins involved with circadian rhythms and metabolism are intrinsically linked and dependent upon each other. This finding has far-reaching implications, which could include new ways to treat cancer, diabetes, obesity and a host of related diseases.
24-hour circadian rhythms govern fundamental physiological functions in almost all organisms. These circadian clocks are the essential time-tracking systems in your body. Disruption of these rhythms can profoundly influence human health.
In a new study, researchers showed that an enzyme protein which is an essential molecular gear of the circadian machinery interacts with a protein that senses cell energy levels and modulates aging and metabolism.
This suggests that proper sleep and diet may help maintain or rebuild the balance between your circadian clock and your metabolism, and could also help explain why lack of rest or disruption of normal sleep patterns can increase hunger, leading to obesity-related illnesses and accelerated aging.
It is time that I start the dreaded process of being a grown up, and part of that, as I near my 25th birthday, is realizing that maintaining my physical and mental health is up to me and will require some effort. Along this vein I am trying very hard to change my eating patters. I am trying to eat more nutritiously and more ethically.

I have long felt that the best place to bring about change is in our
own back yard. Socially responsible businesses and not for profits are
creating the kind of future for Vancouver and BC that I dream of. My
project happyfrog.ca is designed to support their work.
To think my best thought, commit to my best effort, be satisfied with that and strive to continue this in all directions. This ranges from personal care, teaching my values to my children, to farming organically and finding out about bio fuel for our farm vehicle, long term goals of solar and geothermal energy. Never stop growing and striving because it will be positive for those around me and influence my children.
As I write, I am snifflying and hacking and coughing and sipping tea. I know. On this ridiculous good looking Saturday, I was at home, slaving away at a term paper and nursing whatever sudden sickness has come over me. On the plus side, I've had more than enough naps today and that (combined with the endless mugs of green tea, peppermint tea, blueberry tea...) have been enough to keep me conscious enough to make it half way through my paper.
