Today I am pleased to jump into the one -cycle adjustment topic, including the use of fasting, light, food, and sleep as a major one -day signal signal. I recently got an idea from a social media post (and a controversial) social media post.
“Under -assessed health tips, stop eating when the sun goes down and watch the sleep transformed.”
After posting the above, I was accused of having a bad mother and a eating disorder.
In that short post, I did not explain all the exceptions in detail and many people called me. I did not explain why I started this work or started a research that supported it. So I wanted to set the record straight and dive deeper on this topic.
Utilizing one cycle adjustment was really helpful and helped to maintain a much healthier relationship with food. I have eaten much more when I eat chronic for about 10 years. I also wanted to talk more about my journey in case of inspiration to others.
Fasting
Dr. Amy Shaw (aka Instagram’s fasting MD) was one of my greatest inspiration for the subject. Dr. Shaw is a rich knowledge, especially for women. According to Dr. SHAW, one cycle rhythm fast can be done by the potentially most beneficial fasting. This time, the limited meal plan adjusts the contents of the internal body clock in our body.
The following is a summary of the contents related to the one -day diet.
- Digestive systems and metabolism are eaten during the most active daylight.
- Stop the activity after 7 pm (if this internal process slows). Do not eat until morning!
- I have a bigger meal early a day. Make a small meal in the evening to avoid blood glucose spikes and weight gain.
Eating in this way improves metabolism and immune system, helping sleep, supporting immunity, and reducing the risk of diabetes. I knew it was not difficult because there was no strict change. Such a meal simply follows the body’s natural process.
For many years, I went to breakfast and ate a lot at night while doing the opposite of this. I needed a little experiment, but finally I found a meal rhythm that works well for me.
Are you eating a diet?
Some opinions mentioned that eating in this way could be classified as a eating disorder. More people seem to be branding with eating disorders other than eating habits other than typical American style. I don’t think this is not true, but it doesn’t actually support people who actually eat disorders.
The term is applied to all kinds of alternative meals, such as fasting, real food diet, or removing foods that are negative.
I skipped breakfast and waited for lunch when fasting. Instead, I moved the meal window and stopped eating early that day (while still eating more food). I ate it for several years and it had a negative impact on my health. Now I eat twice as much calories, more intentional and much healthier with food.
Although there is a nuance and someone can potentially causes eating disorders, the intermittent fasting itself can be a healthy way to love the body.
Controversy over Circardian alignment
As with health crystals, it is easier to eat in this way. There is an exception to this depending on your location and lifestyle. Many of us are dark at 5 pm (or earlier) in winter. In some places, there is sunlight for an hour or two hours all day. In other times of this year, there are sunlight with little darkness almost all day long.
I don’t say someone in the world should eat only when the sun comes out. Like everything else, there is an exception. The idea is to stop eating at least a few hours before sleep for a more comfortable night. In many places, this is almost identical to the sunset.
Seasonal difference
This also deals with seasonal differences, often not enough. Humans were able to have more festivals, spend time together, and have a community in the evening when we had more sunlight in the summer. Historically, winter was less than sleep and calories. We may sound strange because we are used to artificial lighting, but in most human history, this was normal.
The average sleep time was especially longer in winter before the bulb was invented. Reducing sleep and eating at all times is a new phenomenon. It was not our ancestors to look at the Blue Light Screens, watch movies, and eat ice cream at midnight. I naturally knew I went to bed early and summer.
If you live near Finland or the equator, you have no same experience. If our bodies are different and have pregnancy, nursing or health, they also affect how to eat and timing. Matching the daily rhythm into sunlight is not a difficult and fast rules. It does not mean that you never consume a calorie after the sun collapses.
In the past, in winter, food was not enough and we did not need much food. We can now approach food and artificial lighting unlimitedly, and always not eaten it can sound strange or dangerous. Our ancestors could match the rhythm of nature that is much more difficult in modern society.
Light and food are one of the greatest signal mechanisms for our holiday health. Changing the time we eat and spending more time outside can have a big impact on this.
Advantages of the health of fasting
Researchers have found that eating only during sunlight can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of diabetes. Studies have shown that glucose levels after dinner are lower than dinner.
This leads to a way to support us with the rhythm of nature and to promote fat combustion. Less individuals eat earlier one day and have a lower BMI. Also, our bodies do not digest food, which can help you sleep better at night.
Losing weight loss and digestion
One study found that participants ate 20% less calories unintentionally when they followed their willing time limited eating habits. Time -limited meals are easy ways to do not use excessively calories.
Many people (including myself) also find better digestion. During the daylight time, eating matches the body’s natural digestive rhythm and can help improve nutritional absorption. This also reduces digestion. I eat enzymes and pectasols just before going to bed a few hours before going to bed.
Other weekly sort health benefits
- Some studies have shown that fasting can provide longer lifespan benefits.
- There is also an inflammatory connection. One study found that participants who fasted from sunset to sunrise had a low level of blood pressure and inflammation.
- Aligning our one -cycle rhythm can improve blood pressure and cholesterol profiles.
- It can support cognitive function and improve memory and concentration.
Fasting is a controversial word that many people resist, but technically, we are all fast every day. Unless you know how to eat while sleeping! Another big factor that brings our bodies as an alignment is sunlight exposure.
Dial with light exposure
Many problems can help you align with small sunlight and nature! Geting morning sunlight (without glasses or contact) before the screen or caffeine creates a big difference in hormonal health. At sunrise and sunset, we can get free red exposure.
I spend a lot of time outside as much as I can. Many of our bodies respond to light signals. I recommend getting as many natural light as much as possible by avoiding artificial lighting after being safe, comfortable and dark for your body all day.
The lighting of my house imitate the outdoor environment. After sunset, we switch to low light Amber Under the eye level. Use a full spectrum overhead bulb during the day.
Camp to reset hormones
One simple way to reset the full reset is camping. Researchers found that they were outdoors in a week without the screen or artificial light.
Even if you don’t have time to go camping, moving us more by alignment with natural light can be a big reward. This includes avoiding blue light at night.
Use a daylight computer with a zero blue light screen. Works without Wi -Fi. I use it, listen to audiobooks, and use music for sleep. Blue Light Screen helped creative flow because you can work at night, write journals, write creative tasks at night.
What I eat to adjust the cycle
Another major principle of coordination is the food side. I stopped skipping breakfast and had a big breakfast to support the nervous system. I also have a large lunch with a lot of protein and micro nutrients and sends a nutritious signal.
This includes non -traditional foods such as sardines, soup, fermented foods and olive oils. I take the supplement to breakfast and focus on sign language and minerals. Coffee comes out after sign language and morning sun! I finish the day with more early dinner for snacks. I drink minerals and herb tea without eating a few hours before going to bed.
Focusing on nutrition density tells us that our body is rich in nutrition and safe to release fat. Our bodies also develop muscles, support for reproduction, and get the nutrition needed to thrive overall.
Send a physical safety signal
In addition to focusing on the nutrition of our bodies, we can send other safety signals in the nervous system. Breathing is a good way to do this. Through the nose, deep breaths help our body turn into parasympathetic. If you have slow breathing and focus on breathing, there is an amazing thing about the nervous system.
- If you put it down and put your feet on the wall for 10 minutes, the downward will fall into the parasympathetic.
- Walking all day is also beneficial. You can enjoy a lot of benefits on foot for 10 minutes after each meal.
- Focus on sufficient sleep for overall health. Our bodies can also overeat and crave healthy foods when we are deprived of sleep.
The final thought of the alignment of one week
One cycle alignment is the basic part of the overall health. After you wake up, get the morning sunlight as soon as possible and sign in the morning. After eating breakfast with high nutrient density, drink in the evening. This provides a break in the digestive system and can restore the cells during sleep.
It is easy to underestimate timing, light and sleep for health. Dial can actually help the nervous system, hormonal health, and metabolism. It depends on your situation exactly how it looks exactly, but the more we match nature, the happier our bodies will be.
Have you experimented with these things? What was effective for you? Please let me know with your opinion!
