Being a night owl may not be great for your heart but you can do something about it
AI Summary
A recent study indicates that individuals who are more active at night may experience poorer heart health compared to the average person. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School found a correlation between being a "night owl" and difficulties in adhering to heart-healthy behaviors. This is due to a mismatch between the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) and typical daily schedules, impacting factors like heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolism. While heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., the study suggests that the negative effects of being a night owl on heart health are not inevitable. Experts emphasize the importance of aligning one's lifestyle with the body's natural rhythm to improve overall well-being.
