Our body carries on its functions in tune with a rhythm. When our daily actions like sleeping, eating, exercise etc are in tune with this rhythm, good health becomes effortless. Read on to understand what our body’s circadian rhythm looks like and sift through the confusion to know when to eat, sleep, rest etc in alignment with this rhythm.
Just as earth has its rythm of day & night, or of different seasons, body has its own natural rhythm. A circadian rhythm is any biological process that displays a repetitive cycle every 24 hours, i.e. the same set of functions happen again & again over a 24 hour period. For eg: You go to sleep at night & you are awake during the day – this same process happens every 24 hours. Every function of our body is designed to be in a certain rhythm, when we align our lifestyle to follow this rhythm, we feel good & keep healthy because our body is able to function at its optimum.
Let’s say you slept on time one night, you will feel fresh the next day. Else you will feel drowsy & grumpy because body was unable to do its night functions, you threw it off balance by sleeping late!! Yes there is so much that our body does when we are asleep !! The functions of growth, repair & maintenance primarily happen at night. If we go out of sync from this rhythm, we go out of sync with nature & that makes us feel uneasy & can lead to bad health.
With reference to food too, our body works in a rhythm. It’s ability to deal with food depends on the effective functioning of three body cycles. It is based on the functions of eating & digesting food, absorbing its nutrients & removing the waste material from the body. Although these 3 functions are continuously going on in the body, a particular function is more intense during a certain time of the day. They work in approximately 8 hour cycles.
Living & eating as per the body cycles helps us to stay in harmony with nature. This is what we should do:
The secret to weight loss, feeling energetic, being illness free & staying fit in the long run, lies in aligning our life with the body’s circadian rhythm. Focus on eating & sleeping as per this rhythm & make this a way of life.
