what time we should be exposed to light, when we should exercise, and that will give us kind of a nice toolbox for each one of us to adopt.

Yeah. So let's start with what we do every day. Eat. So when we eat, our digestive system digests the food, absorbs the nutrients, sensitive blood, and then... Our pancreas does its duty to control blood glucose. So now if we start with the digestion process itself, the first stage of digestion is that happens in our mouth.

As we salivate, there are many enzymes in our saliva that breaks down some of the food components. And there is a circadian rhythm to this whole process of salivating. And we are more likely to produce a lot of saliva during our wakeful hours or during the daytime. And the saliva production actually goes down, way down, right around when you go to bed.

And I'll get to that point why this plays a role. So now the next step is digestion and that happens in the stomach and a lot of the enzymes that break down food that are produced in what we call the pancreas, it has two different roles. We always hear about the insulin production part, but pancreas also produces a lot of stuff to digest our food. And then what we now know is that

That process producing acid to break down food and these enzymes to break down the food, all those are also circadian. So that means during the daytime there is strong production of these enzymes and increased acidity to break down food. And then there is a weird thing that happens around sleep time or late at night. Our stomach is more sensitive.

So that means even a little amount of food can hyper... It's almost like the stomach is sleeping and all of a sudden somebody comes and knocks on the door. And not only you wake up, you actually wake up with increased vigilance. You may pick up a stick or something thinking that somebody is in bedding. So stomach actually... hyper reacts by producing too much acid.

And now too much acid is actually not that bad, but what happens is too much acid can go up our esophagus and can cause acid reflux. And I told you that how at nighttime our mouth actually reduces saliva production. The reason is in our sleep we should not be drowning in our saliva. So saliva neutralizes a lot of acid.

So then we have increased acid production at night and less saliva to neutralize it. And that's one reason why people eat too late at night. Not all, some might actually experience more acid reflux than others. Right. So now in the next step in digestion is after the stomach is digesting food, it goes to the intestine and the intestine kind of has a peristaltic motion.
