For healthy eating, timing matters
Limiting mealtimes to a 12-hour period per day helps fruit flies’ hearts
KEEPING TIME Fruit flies that eat just 12 hours per day (blue lines) maintain steady heartbeats into middle age (5 weeks old), while the hearts of flies that can eat around the clock (red) beat irregularly. Each red or blue dash represents the contraction of the heart.
