With losing weight proving necessary to improve overall health if you are overweight or obese, exercising is considered absolutely crucial. The Express reports that researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark believe they have discovered the best time to exercise to achieve weight loss.
The team found that the relevant biological processes depend on the circadian rhythms of the cells. Specifically, a late morning workout was shown to burn more calories.
The research, which was published in PNAS journal, featured the comparison of the results of morning workouts with that of the evening. At two different points in the day, experts set mice on a high-intensity workout before studying their adipose tissue (body fat) and looking at which genes were active at these times.
