The basics of health

The basics of health A man is sleeping and a clock is placed on the table I learned the habit of making a healthy biorhythm. / Clip Art Korea Biological clock refers to an organ that regulates biorhythms that appear in a repetitive pattern at regular intervals such as sleep, wakefulness, hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. When the biological clock breaks down and there is a problem with the rhythm of the body, various symptoms such as drowsiness, sleeplessness, fatigue, headache, and decreased concentration in daily life can occur. I learned the habit of maintaining a healthy biorhythm. ▶ Wake up at the same time every day Since the body clock cycle of our body is a little longer than 24 hours, it is necessary to use a reference point in order to regularly set the day's sleep-wake rhythm. ▶ Meal time It takes about 4 hours to digest food. During this time, the stomach or intestines work busy digesting food. However, if you eat food between 4 hours immediately before going to sleep, the secretion of melatonin for sleep interferes with the activity of these digestive organs. Therefore, refrain from eating food 4 hours before falling asleep, and avoid eating fatty foods that take longer to digest when inevitably. ▶ Sunlight during the day Light helps cortisol secretion work properly. Therefore, getting enough sun during the day helps the bio clock to work properly. It is good to keep busy as you work more actively and your sleep needs increase. ▶ Recognizing day and night Recognizing when the day and night are in your body and brain is also an effective way to set a biological clock. When you wake up in the morning, first move your hands and feet lightly. Stretching, such as stretching or stretching your back and back straight, also has the effect of raising your body function while you sleep. ▶ Blocking bedroom light When the sleeping area is bright, the secretion of melatonin is disturbed, the quality of sleep falls and the rhythm of the body breaks easily. Therefore, it is better to make the place where you sleep as dark as possible. Before going to sleep, all lighting fixtures that emit bright light should be turned off, and smartphones that can be a strong stimulus, especially in dark environments, should be avoided.
