Jet lag can cause excess weight

Israeli scientists have concluded that jet lag can cause weight gain. Fouls internal rhythm of the body, which occurs when we quickly change clock belt for air travel, has a negative impact on the digestive system.

Excess weight

Jet lag   It has long been an indispensable companion travelers which makes them feel sleepy and tired after a long flights. Now, however, Israeli scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science have found that the change of time zones, which causes a disturbance of circadian rhythms, also It makes us complete.

The study authors found in During experiments on laboratory mice, under the influence jet lag   in the digestive system breaks down the normal rhythm of the bacteria, are involved in the process of digestion. After this process violations recruitment overweight   accelerated. The study showed that mice fed less orderly and quickly gaining weight and metabolic problems faced normally associated diabetes, resulting in disturbances of circadian rhythms.

it discovery surprised the scientists themselves, because until recently there was no science It is known about the impact of jet lag on the digestive system. All the more so living in our stomach bacteria, in theory, can not respond to change circadian rhythms, because they are in constant darkness and do not see the sun. Meanwhile Still, it appeared that the bacteria are very dependent on day and night. it discovery explains the phenomenon of why people with chronic disorders daily rhythms, and subject to constant jet lag, often victims obesity and other metabolic complications.
