In our modern, fast-paced lives, it’s easy to overlook the simple yet profound factors that influence our well-being. Two often underestimated contributors to a balanced circadian rhythm and improved sleep are exposure to morning light and the practice of earthing.

Morning light exposure plays a crucial role in regulating our internal body clock. Natural light, especially in the early hours, helps synchronize our circadian rhythm, signaling to the body that it’s time to wake up and be alert. This exposure to daylight influences the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, promoting a more restful sleep when evening arrives.

Additionally, earthing, or grounding, involves making direct physical contact with the Earth’s surface. Whether it’s walking barefoot on grass or soil, this practice has been associated with various health benefits, including improved sleep. The Earth’s surface is abundant in free electrons, and when we connect with it, our bodies can absorb these electrons, potentially reducing inflammation and promoting a more balanced physiological state.

By incorporating morning light exposure and earthing into our daily routines, we can positively impact our circadian rhythm. Simple habits like taking a morning walk, spending time outdoors, and connecting with nature can make a significant difference in our sleep quality and overall well-being.

So, the next time you find yourself caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, remember the importance of embracing the morning light and grounding yourself in the Earth’s energy. Your circadian rhythm and sleep will thank you for it. 😴

All of the thousands of molecules in your body are built from only 8-9 essential amino acids that we get from our diet.

When you eat food, protein is digested, and it’s broken down into these amino acids or what I call building blocks.

Our DNA strings these together to make proteins from these amino acids. When we don’t get enough dietary protein, our DNA doesn’t have enough amino acids to sufficiently carry out this process.
