Description: In the twenty-first century, we increasingly push our daily routines into the night, carrying out work, exercise and our social lives long after dark. But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think. In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as well as insights from an international community of sleep scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our health, including: - How a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better night's sleep,. - How eating after sundown can affect our weight,. - The extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have on our risk of life- threatening conditions, such as strokes. In the modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology. But with knowledge of this astonishing science, we can get back into the rhythm, and live healthier, sharper lives.

Review: I love learning about circadian rhythm and loved The Circadian Code by Satchin Panda. Heard Russell on a podcast by someone who advocates lifestyle medicine before traditional medicine. This book unfortunately advocates and even glorifies big pharma. When there’s so much more evidence and studies that prove that modern medicine is a plaster rather than getting to the root core. I had to stop reading it once he glorified the use PPI’s (proton pump inhibitors) and I and family members have had awful experiences with the terrible side effects of these drugs. A much more holistic approach is possible.
