BIOLOGICAL CLOCK

A "biological clock" is an internal timekeeping system in living organisms that regulates circadian rhythms—the approximately 24-hour cycles of physiological processes like sleep, waking, appetite, and body temperature, which are synchronized by environmental cues like light and darkness. It is a network of cells, proteins, and genes that control nearly every part of your physiology.

Rest is important because it allows the body to recover, repair tissues, and regain energy, while also supporting cognitive functions like memory and concentration. Adequate rest enhances immune function, reduces stress and inflammation, and helps regulate mood, contributing to better overall physical and mental well-being and increased productivity.

Back-To- School Backpack tips!

Look for wide, padded shoulder straps to improve comfort and weight distribution.

Select a backpack made from a lightweight, durable fabric to minimize its overall weight.

Only carry what you need for the day to reduce the overall weight.

Padded back provides extra comfort and protects oddly shaped objects in the bag.

Making sure the backpack sits on properly, wearing both straps and is not too low.
