In another study that followed about 70.000 women for 16 years, there was a significant increase in body weight in those who slept 5 hours or less compared to those who slept 7–8 hours. [1] [2] [8] As sleep time decreased over time from the 1950s to 2000s from about 8.5 hours to 6.5 hours, there has been an increase in the prevalence of ...
“About 20% of the U.S. population has sleep apnea, which is technically defined as literally choking five times an hour or more,” says Gartenberg. “If you have a severe case, you’re ...
Research suggests that consuming coffee 0.5–4 hours before a meal may reduce caloric intake. Although the same study also found that sipping on a cup of Joe 3–4.5 hours before eating did not ...

Reduced duration of sleep, as well as an increase in time spent awake, are factors that highly contribute to the risk of traffic collisions, the severity and fatality rates of which are on the same level as driving under the influence of alcohol, [53] [54] with 19 hours of wakefulness corresponding to a BAC of 0.05%, and 24 hours of wakefulness ...
All told, approximately 20% of respondents shared that they’re getting less than five hours of sleep per night, with 53% placing their daily sleep schedule in the 6-7 hour range.
However, the increase is marginal, amounting to 7-8 calories per hour. [1] The primary determinants of daily TEF are the total caloric content of the meals and the macronutrient composition of the meals ingested. Meal frequency has little to no effect on TEF; assuming total calorie intake for the days are equivalent.
Older adults, particularly those with acute or chronic illnesses, may require higher protein intake, ranging from 1.2 to 1.5g/kg per day, due to a reduced anabolic response. Some studies suggest that an intake of 1 g/kg per day is sufficient, while others recommend 1.3 to 1.73g/kg per day for better health outcomes.
