There are many aspects to take into account to enjoy good health, and there is no doubt that one of them is taking care of circadian rhythms. These are those biological processes that are responsible for regulating the body’s activity and rest times and, therefore, the activity to which the body is exposed. That is, the sleep and wake cycles that have a direct impact on the work of the nervous system and, therefore, on the general health of the body. But what marks these rhythms? The hours of sunshine.
The cycles of circadian rhythms are divided into 24 hours, including the day and night part of the day, something that influences the life of living beings. In the case of people, for biological reasons, we tend to experience greater activity during daylight hours and less activity when there is less light. All of this influences the body and, if they are not taken into account, it is possible that health will end up being affected.
They influence eating habits, how the digestive process develops, the release of hormones, mood and even body temperature, according to the US National Institute of Health. These are just some of the reasons why they are essential for health.
For all these reasons, it is advisable to take care of circadian rhythms, for example, establishing routines with predefined schedules, which ensure that the times at which one wakes up or goes to bed do not vary. In addition to avoiding bright lights at the beginning and end of the day, nor exposure to screens just before going to sleep. But we must not forget nutrition, this is also key, through a balanced and balanced diet. Another recommendation is not to have dinner immediately before going to bed, and preferably opt for light and easily digestible foods.
