Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

Scientists at Spain 's National Cancer Research Center are trying to decipher jet lag's impact on our immune system.

Since 2021 , more than a hundred flight attendants have been donating blood, saliva, nails, feces and urine twice a year.

The samples are kept at -196C and can only be removed with thick gloves and face shield.

The CNIO research project could explain why heart attacks occur more frequently in the morning.

Circadian rhythms are set by our internal clock, but are synchronized with the external clock.

The use and abuse of artificial light, nighttime work, air travel and the resulting jet lag, affect this synchronization.
