BIOLOGICAL CLOCK
HEALTHY SLEEP
O
besity is considered today an
important health problem in
modern society, leading to preventable
causes of deaths worldwide. It reduces
life expectancy by increasing the rates
of hearth disease, type 2 diabetes,
sleep disorders and cancer. Recently,
new possible contributors have been
identified as possible causes of obesity. Among them, circadian (cycles
of 24 hours) disturbances have been
proposed as triggers of obesity and
type 2 diabetes. How do we disrupt our
circadian cycles, our biological clock?
Humans are the only species that do no
follow their biological clock!
