RE: The Importance of the Circadian Rhythm in Life
The eating part during the day makes sense to me in a scientific point of view ... but then when I'm living in Spain, for some reason, the Spanish just enjoy eating their heavy dinners at 10PM or after ... which to me is crazy. Yet, I don't see many Spaniards as obese as lets say in the US. So that country is interesting for their tendency for very late eating habits.
Yeah, but they probably don't eat as much junk crap food either ;)
That's very much true. The Spaniards have a diet that consists of eating better kind of food. Like as much as I love bacon, it's honestly not super healthy to eat cooked bacon all the time. Whereas the Spaniards eat jamon serrano, and these other kind of sliced meat which are both delicious and much healthier than crispy bacon.
See my comment below. I think food and even eating times would have a major effect on these rhythms; I've studied nutrition for 6 years and experimented on myself and learned an extreme and diverse amount of key takeaways for what we do and put or don't put in our bodies effecting us in the short and medium-term

" way too much calories, sodium, added sugar and processed food in general."
That I totally agree. Which is part of reason why sleep schedules in America are generally quite off (even I'm guilty of it at times haha).
thanks for response. Yes, American culture is causing many of our own biological problems
