Biological Rhythms: Their Functions, Effects, and Complements

Abstract

The terms biological rhythm and circadian rhythm are frequently used interchangeably. Your internal clock regulates a set of biological functions called rhythms. They regulate sleep and wakefulness, body temperature, hormone secretion, and other functions. In response to your environment, your body maintains its biological cycles by releasing a range of substances at the molecular level. Your biological cycles can be maintained or disrupted by your light exposure, eating habits, and other environmental stimuli. Biological cycles can be disrupted, resulting in major health issues [1].
