Your Health and the Day’s Rhythms : An Energy Science Application
Your health is directly tied to the rhythms of Momma Nature herself If we disregard this fact our health invariably will suffer The cumulative effect of ignoring our relationship with these rhythms is dis-ease It has been shown that shift workers do not experience good health long term The money may be good but the price paid over a lifetime is not good Now matter science research is showing this to be the case
I was reviewing an article about circadian rhythm published in October 2011 from a research unit at the University of Georgia The article discussed how mice with circadian rhythm dysfunctional cycles had poor organ vessels and hence this jeopardized the success of the organ transplant to healthy mice "Arteries of mice with circadian clock dysfunction became thick and diseased within a few weeks of being transplanted to healthy mice. Arteries transplanted from healthy mice to the mutant mice remained healthy."
"But the fact is the time at which you do the organ transplant may influence overall success," said Dr Rudic, "and if you have a donor who has a sleep disorder or is a night shift worker, it may affect it as well."
Vessels Affected by Lifestyle
What is implied in this seemingly innocuous study on mouse transplants is that the mindbody is tuning in all the time to our lifestyle choices What was apparent to the researchers was that the "Our research shows it's the clock within the blood vessel that is key to conferring the disease response in this case," said Dr. Bo Cheng, GHSU postdoctoral fellow and the study's first author."
This is a rather startling mindbody statement from a matter science researcher and implies the transition that the Western matter science medical model is undergoing Signs of hope are emerging from the matter science realm indicating that the mind is in every cell of the body, that is mind and body are intimately spliced You cannot separate them The body is in the mind and the mind is in the body
Matter Science Suppport For Lifestyle Medicine
Through it's research the matter science or molecular way of thinking about the mindbody is giving way to a more encompassing mindbody connection that has been the energy science model of understanding the true mindbody interaction for thousands of years "The clock is expressed not only in the brain but everywhere in the body and can function autonomously in different areas," Rudic said.
In 1997 an Australian researcher became involved in lifestyle choices for health and wrote a book in 2007 advocating Lifestyle Medicine as a new specialty Leave it to the Aussies! This kind of thinking is truly at the heart of making dynamic changes for the better in our chronic disease challenge
In the midst of such lifestyle choices has to be the identification of health measures around proper timing of the day's activities The energy science view is as follows:
Between 6am and 10am is a Kapha time heavy, cold, slow/dull time; ? heavy breakfast
Between 10am and 2pm is a Pitta time hot,sharp/penetrating time; best for day's big meal
Between 2pm and 6pm is a Vata time cold, light, mobile; good for activity
Between 6pm and 10pm is a Kapha time heavy,cold,slow/dull time; good for winding down
Between 10pm and 2am is a Pitta time hot, sharp/penetrating time; body detox time
Between 2am and 6am is a Vata time cold, light, mobile; emotional detox time

Lastly the authors concluded that if you're unhealthy and there is an unhealthy organ then it results in even more profound result "We believe that bad clock function worsens when it intersects with disease, so if you are eating a high-fat diet or if you undergoing a serious surgery like a transplant, and you have a bad clock, disease may occur and may occur quickly," Rudic said.
Who says that the energy science of Ayurveda has the answers to what are good lifestyle choices to make? The matter science medical model research seems to continue to support the energy science recommendationsss
Until next week To Health as a Skill Love DrBill
