Rest is like a Vitamin

Rest is vitally important for the effective functioning of the entire body's system.

Each cell is  made up of a nucleus which is further made up of DNA and RNA, powerful proteins, responsible for complex metabolic functions.

It's during rest that these cells, (which make up tissue, which make up organs, which make up systems) cleanse and rebuild. 

There is a daily cycle called the circadian rhythm. An inner cycle, called the Circaseptan rhythm, was also built in us to allow for recuperation in around seven days.

These rhythms are connected with several physiological and psychological functions. Heart rate, hormonal content in breast milk, potential for suicide, infection after surgery and rejection of transplanted tissue post surgery,,are among  a few.Infection and tissue rejection tend to take place 7 or 14 days post procedures. 

Our body functions begin to slow down at the close of a seventh day cycle, so the body can cleanse and repair at a cellular level.

It's time to slow down! To get off the spinning wheel! Take a break! Recuperate! Rejuvenate for betterliving experiences! Shalom!

"Come Ye apart and rest a while."
