DEAR DOCTORS: I'm a 33-year-old woman in good health. The problem is that I got into some bad habits during the pandemic and gained weight. I'm back on track with diet, and now I am adding exercise. I remember reading that the time of day that women exercise makes a difference. Is that true?
DEAR READER: We think you're referring to the results of a study that made headlines last spring. The findings are intriguing in that they suggest that the optimal time of day to exercise may be different for women than it is for men.
