Busy students! Are you eating properly every day?
Are you so busy with class reports, club activities, part-time jobs, etc. that you put your own health on the back burner?
The body clock is a system in the body that keeps track of 24 hours. Humans are equipped with an internal clock that keeps a rhythm of one day, and even if we are not aware of it, our body and mind are active during the day and resting at night. The body clock guides us to natural sleep at night. The body clock is reset by exposure to light every morning and keeps a constant rhythm. Even if we are confined to a room without a clock, our body can somehow keep a 24-hour rhythm and repeat the cycle of "sleeping and waking up". It also regulates the absorption of food and metabolic functions, creating a difference between day and night. The body clock can cause differences in the absorption and effectiveness of nutrients depending on the timing of eating.
Our body clock has a tendency to run a little slower than 24 hours, so resetting it by exposing yourself to the morning sunlight and having breakfast will raise your body temperature and help you stay active.
Fasting is sometimes necessary, and ideally you should not eat anything for 10 hours between your last meal of the previous day (dinner) and your first meal of the next day (breakfast), and you should eat breakfast within two hours of waking up.
★Even if you can't do it every day, try to make an effort to get closer to it!★★★
