New Study Warns Late-night Meals May Cause Memory Loss by freelanceguru: 1:32am On Dec 02, 2014
Late-night meals may interfere with your memory, a new study has warned. The study in mice found that eating during times of day when one would normally be sleeping impaired the animals’ memory for objects they had seen, even when the rats got the same amount of sleep as mice on a normal eating and sleeping schedule. Study co-author Christopher Colwell, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and a team of researchers acclimatised mice to a normal sleep schedule, sleeping during the day. Mice are nocturnal, so they are normally awake at night and asleep during the day. Then, the researchers allowed some of the animals to eat only during the time they were typically asleep, while allowing others to eat when the animals would normally be awake, ‘LiveScience’ reported. The mice on the misaligned eating schedule had shifted sleep times, but they still slept for the same total amount of time, ate the same amount of food and weighed the same as the mice that ate at normal times, Colwell said. The researchers then tested the mice’s memory. READ MORE ;http:///32avA7bSpy
