circadian rhythm is the mechanism that controls the 24 hour clock of all forms of life
it works in harmony with the world’s rotation and the natural light-dark cycle
it dates back over a billion years and has been part of human evolution over the past 6 million years
it is our body’s ingrained primordial and universal code to being healthy
every cell in our body has a circadian rhythm, it’s part of our DNA
circadian rhythm goes much further than regulating our sleep-wake cycle, it also regulates our hormone production, protein production, temperature, alertness, mood, eating and digestion
in fact every biological function has a natural time set by our circadian rhythm body clock
disruption of circadian rhythm is linked to a whole array of chronic diseases and conditions including:
insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, asthma, hypertension, respiratory disease, chronic inflammation, gastro-intestinal problems, dementia, cancer and early death
the demands of modern day living, and poor lifestyle choices, disrupts our natural rhythm
circadian rhythm is a subject that is fast developing the thinking of:
biologists, exercise physiologists, psychologists, cardiologists, sleep researchers, nutritionists, oncologists, endocrinologists, ophthalmologists and geneticists
circadian healthcare is set to become the next revolution in well‑being
