Title: 3 Advice to Protect Your Biological Clock


1
Biorhythm Cycles That Influence Your Health and
Happiness
2
  • Biorhythm cycles are the internal biological
    clocks that dictate how your body functions and
    when. These cycles are an integral part of your
    everyday life but most people dont give them
    much thought. They cause physical, emotional,
    and intellectual fluctuations.
  • Theyre hard-wired into you from birth. Some are
    linked to greater external forces such as the
    path of the sun or seasons of the year. Even
    changing tides, outside temperature, and moon
    phases can affect human biology.
  • Researchers are beginning to realize that
    calculating a persons biorhythm cycles may offer
    insight on mental and physical health.
  • For thousands of years, there have been stories
    of individuals who seem to become aggressive
    during excessively hot temperatures, depressed
    during long periods of rain or clouds, and
    exhibit intense confusion or chaos during full
    moons.
  • It turns out, these werent myths!

The Rhythms That Make Your Body Dance
  • Ultradian rhythms are cycles that last less than
    24 hours. Examples of these are your heartbeat,
    breathing, temperature, appetite, the process of
    digestion, and hormone release. These processes
    proceed without thinking about them, no matter
    the time of day, and independent of anything else
    youre doing.
  • Circadian rhythms are cycles that last about 24
    hours. Your sleep cycle (the one youre supposed
    to have) is based on circadian rhythms. There
    are also hormone and temperature settings that
    follow this cycle.
  • Infradian rhythms are last longer than a single
    day. The female menstruation process and desire
    to procreate are prime examples. Seasonal
    Affective Disorder (SAD) depression that occurs
    most commonly in cloudy winter months is also
    based on infradian rhythms.

  • Literally everything your body does (whether
    youre conscious of it or not) is based on these
    biorhythm cycles. Multiple studies have
    concluded by PCD pharma franchise Gujarat that
    disruption of these rhythms can have a clear
    (negative) effect on current and long-term
    health.
  • Ive talked in-depth about the importance of
    sleep because not getting enough (or not getting
    quality sleep) substantially raises your risk of
    systemic inflammation, heart disease, cancer,
    neurodegenerative disease, obesity, diabetes,
    mental health disorders, autoimmune conditions,
    and more. Not to mention a higher risk of colds,
    viruses, and infections.
  • Your body is meant to operate a specific way.
    From your first breath outside the womb until
    your last, these biorhythm cycles are keeping the
    beat inside you.

Modern Life is Interrupting The Rhythm
  • The development of technology transportation,
    electricity, running water, phones, etcetera
    enabled humans to do things at night they rarely
    could before. It gave people the ability to
    remain in contact, to get from place to place
    more quickly, to continue working after dark, and
    even to bathe without the necessity of hauling
    water.
  • Our evolving quality of life didnt come without
    cost. Our biological clocks have taken the
    biggest impact, particularly in the lifestyles we
    lead today.
  • The chemicals that flood our bodies, the non-stop
    connection to the outside world, and even our
    work habits have combined to overwrite these
    critical biorhythm cycles.

6
  • A vast majority of us are continuously
    sleep-deficient. Were constantly exposed to the
    dangers of blue light in the form of televisions,
    computers, cell phones, and tablets. There are
    lifestyle habits in the form of food, alcohol,
    tobacco, and sun exposure that damage our bodies
    one cell at a time and flood us with chemical
    toxins.
  • If youve ever worked a night shift or
    experienced jet lag, you felt the physical
    consequences of your biological clock being
    disrupted. The mental sluggishness, fatigue, and
    even nausea are your biorhythms trying to catch
    up, to adapt.
  • There are no easy solutions since the pressures
    of daily life demand you bend to external forces
    (they rarely bend to what you need). There may
    not be a cure for the daily grind that wears down
    your internal rhythms but there are some things
    you can do ease the side effects.

3 Tips to Protect Your Biological Clock
  • Create a sleep friendly environment. No matter
    what time of day you have to sleep, make sure
    your room is dark and cool. Leave the
    electronics alone! Its critical to get yourself
    to a place where your body expects to sleep,
    wants to sleep, and does so deeply. Sleep
    quality is just as important as sleep amount.
    Try using melatonin (inexpensive, safe, and
    readily available) for a week to adjust to a new
    time zone or sleep routine.
  • Take time out to breathe and meditate. Whether
    this is before work, during work, or right before
    you go to bed, you need to give your brain and
    body a few minutes to acclimate. During your
    work day, when you have breaks, consider taking a
    short walk with your cup of coffee. Stand up and
    look at something outside the window while you
    eat. Stretch and focus on your breathing if you
    enter a period of high stress. Listen to your
    body!

  • Be cautious about what you consume. This should
    be the easiest step but, for so many, it seems to
    be the hardest. Pro-inflammatory foods that
    contain unhealthy fats, high sugars, or lots of
    chemicals dont help any part of your body to
    function properly. Many foods (soda, for
    example) offer no nutritional value and make it
    hard for your body to absorb nutrients from other
    foods. Avoid eating right before bed and limit
    (or eliminate) stimulants (sugar, caffeine,
    tobacco) throughout your day.
  • Making a few small changes (and sticking to them)
    will slow down the aging process, strengthen your
    immune system, and protect you from disease later
    in life.
  • Your biorhythm cycles work to keep you on a
    steady routine the one your cells actually
    need. Helping them do their job is good for your
    health today and in the future.
