It reduces the risk for many chronic disease because we know that the shift workers are at a very high risk for diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and also for cancer.

And if they can practice only one habit and can keep their job and keep their health, then why not to do it? So right now there is a different study that my colleague Emily Manoogian is doing.

She is working on night shift nurses.

And in San Diego at least, the night shift nurses, they do three to four days of night shift work, and it starts around 6 or 7 p.m. and ends at 6 or 7 a.m. It's a 12-hour shift.

So that means adopting this very simple lifestyle intervention where you adopt initiating and try to go to med at the same time.

and they achieved nearly 220 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity per week the recommendation is 150 minutes they were doing 200 plus minutes which is not that difficult to achieve and there's a lot of benefits so now we thought of we wanted to expand it to a bigger study for a one-year study so that application is under review with NIH and if it gets approved then Dr Pam Taub and Emily Manoogian will lead that study

That's great.

Yeah.
