Inspired by watching episode 5 of the Human Longevity Project we, at Bulletproofbodies dived into the research about exercise and Circadian Rhythm.
It’s time to get Geeky!
Circadian Rhythm is so important that last year it won the Nobel prize about Fruit flies.
Your body has a Master Clock.
Every animal and plant on the planet is on a 24 hour cycle.
Imagine messing about with the 24 hour day.
Making it 19 hours or 29 hours, how would that effect us?
The Genes discussed in the following articles are named
Period, Timeless & Double Time.
Hopefully the Video will explain it.
Period, Timeless & Double Time.
Hopefully the Video will explain it.
Discussion on the molecular basis for the circadian rhythm in fruit flies from:

So hopefully you got something out of this blog?
Did you get your Geek on?
Pay attention to your Circadian Rhythm.
