Biorrhythms and Daily LifeAbstract: Knowledge of biorhythms, or the body's natural cycles, can be applied to numerous aspects of daily life. Biorhythms have medical, professional, and recreational uses that allow for the maximization of a healthy and productive life through understanding and application. Biorhythms, as described by other members of this research group, are the natural cycles of the human body. Most important to this feat are circadian rhythms, those that repeat roughly every 24 hours. Obvious examples include sleep cycles and temperature fluctuations; More subtle types of circadian rhythms are hormone production and cell division patterns. The scientific community's growing understanding of these everyday phenomena has led to a new understanding of many aspects of our lives, including medicine, work and leisure. The most amazing advances enabled by biorhythmic research have occurred in the field of medicine. Chronotherapy, or the synchronization of treatment with the body's rhythms, is perhaps the fastest growing field of medicine. Increasingly, pharmaceutical companies, research centers and individual doctors have begun to consider the flow of the body when prescribing medical treatments. Many chronic diseases have direct connections to biorhythms, and by using new treatments that recognize this potential tool, doctors predict that many sufferers, previously resigned to facing perpetual difficulties, will be able to lead relatively normal lives. An excellent example of chronotherapy concerns the treatment of arthritis. Depending on the type of arthritis (rheumatoid or osteoarthritis), you can time medications to relieve symptoms when they are most severe:......middle of paper......Johnson's record dash, the Michelle Smith's aquatics brilliance, the dominance of the Chinese diving team, among countless other impressive performances, all occurred in the afternoon or evening, when the athletes' bodies were ready for performance. Even non-world-class athletes benefit from this knowledge. Rather than undergoing a morning jog, it would be better to wait until the evening, when the body is ready for the physical stress that accompanies exercise and effort. In conclusion, therefore, it has been shown that understanding biorhythms can be used in numerous ways, which improve daily life. Through the precise treatment of medical disorders, offsetting work stress, and maximizing athletic potential, biorhythms are an integral part of our daily lives and influence much of what we do..
