We discussed 'TIME' in one of the Speedy Dialogues.
Today I found this link to an article which talks of Time as given by the Body Clock which gives man the Circadian Rhythm.
So it appears that TIME as applied to the human body is a very real thing and can determine the difference between Health and Disease.
I do not think this concept was known and therefore it was not taught to us during our days of medical training.
So it is important for us to be acquainted with this knowledge so we can help our families, friends and the general public whenever possible.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your support for the blog as always bringing us new ideas and research. It is an interesting concept. I hope this research will be corroborated by others working in the field. We certainly need to revisit these age old ideas of circadian rhythm etc as I'm certain they need to be updated for the 21st Century. Thanks again Zita for this post.
Zita, thank you for this link. Coincidentally, I was having a discussion with one of my brothers and my nephew about the effect of light on sleep, just today. I listened to this TED talk by Emily Manoogian where she stresses the fact that our bodies need about 12 hours of fasting everyday. She said that shift workers (who cannot always sleep when it is dark) can reduce the 'Circadian disruption' on their bodies by controlling the timing of their meals. It is a very interesting talk, well worth watching. Thank you for sending it in.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nihal and Srianee for your input. I agree that after qualification, we didn't add anything on circadian rhythm paritcularly, I certainly didn't, and on many other subjects which are not truly medical but are relevant to us, we only find these out if we read or listen to day to day news and research on media. Srianee you are right, we never do fast for long enough do we? It is easy to have midnight snacks but we are not giving our body clock time to 'clock' off. As you say, I have heard that night shift workers do a lot of damage to their bodies which result in nutritional disorders and with disturbed sleep patterns a whole host of other problems. If we leave a longer interval after the last meal till the next morning, we have a better chance to avoid obesity, it is said. Thanks again to you both. Zita(the anonymous)
