Experts Discuss Circadian Rhythm and Health Tips
‘Follow your body’s circadian rhythm’: Haarsh Limbachiyaa shares health tips for a ‘set’ life · indianexpress.com

Experts talk about how our body has a natural clock called the circadian rhythm.

This clock controls things like hunger, sleep, and digestion.

Haarsh Limbachiyaa suggested not eating after 7 pm and sleeping by 10 pm to follow this clock.

Dr. Manan Vohra explained that our body needs consistency, not perfection.

Dr. Rajesh Bhardwaj said that eating dinner a few hours before bed and having a regular sleep schedule are important.

He also mentioned that disrupting this clock can lead to health problems like obesity, diabetes, and poor sleep.

To keep the clock in sync, he recommends going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, eating dinner earlier, and getting morning sunlight while reducing screen time at night.
