This information underscores the importance of being intentional about getting enough sleep in order […]
The Circadian Rhythm and Autoimmune Disease: An Intricate Relationship
Over the years, through a variety of experiments and studies, scientists have discovered unique relationships between certain medical conditions and the body’s 24-hour internal clock. The circadian rhythm influences a variety of health functions and even influences the risk of health issues, such as autoimmune diseases. Research examining the circadian rhythm and autoimmune disease suggests […]
How the Body Clock Controls Brain Waste Removal
