Biorhythms
Scientists study cyclic patterns that occur in various aspects of our environment and in our bodies. For an example of a cyclic environmental pattern, think about the phases of the moon. We all know that the moon affects the earth's bodies of water. Its gravitational pull causes the ebb and flow of the tides. Scientists have also discovered that the human body, which is composed of around 80% water, is also affected to some degree by the moon's phases. Some of these possible influences on our body that are cyclic in nature are referred to as "biorhythms". Although biorhythm studies have not conclusively been determined to be scientifically valid, many people (particularly in Eastern cultures) have believed in their affects for many years. The belief is that each of us has at least three "biorhythm" patterns of importance:
Physical: Influences our endurance and coordination, resistance to pain, immunity to disease, strength, etc.;
Intellectual: Influences our ability to learn, analytical and logical thinking processes, decision making, recall and memory, etc.; and
Emotional: Influences our mental stability, sensitivity, moods and feelings, and capacity to deal with emotional stress.
