According to experts, to factors that increasethe risk of developing various types of cancer, including breast cancer in the period after menopause, can be attributed to obesity and associated metabolic disorders, in particular, hyperinsulinemia and aberrant circadian rhythms.
As part of the scientific work, an experiment was carried out on obese female mice.They had menopause artificially induced and cancer cells injected into their bodies.Subsequently, the experimental rodents were divided into three groups, so that mice from the first group could eat at any timeThe second group was intervaled, in an eight-hour night window (from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.), while the third group, who were not obese, were put on an indefinite regular diet.
”Approach with limited meal times,likely to be effective in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. It improved metabolic health in obese postmenopausal mice without altering nutrient intake and resulted in astounding suppression of tumor growth, progression and metastasis compared to an unrestricted diet, ”the researchers found.
