Men: They May Have a Biological Clock
Having a limited number of fertile years, or a biological clock, ranks high up on the list of concerns women have that men don't. If you're a woman who wants to have kids, you usually have to organize your life within a time frame to find a partner, get pregnant, and, if you have a career, put it on hold for a while.
One new study claims that men, too, may have a biological clock of sorts.
Fight Jet Lag: Don't Eat?
If you're getting ready to cross time zones, new research suggests that fasting may help you deal with jet lag. While it's true that light regulates the circadian rhythm, an internal clock that determines when you sleep, wake, and eat, there may be a second internal clock that takes over when your body thinks food is scarce. It takes 16 hours of fasting to kick this clock into gear, and manipulating this clock by denying yourself food may help to adjust to a new time zone.

Would You Take a DNA Test to Determine Your Fertility?
It is a fact of life that women are more physically able to have children at a younger age — hence the biological clock talk. However, today's women are less likely to fall into the role of Donna Reed and take on the homemaker tasks in their early 20s. Instead young ladies are out getting degrees, making a name for themselves in the corporate world and taking the time to enjoy a jaunt or two around the world.
