At the beginning of the 20-th century medical scientists made a surprising discovery: people are built not just of flesh and blood but also of time. They were able to demonstrate that we all have an internal "body clock" which regulates the rise and fall of our body energies, making us different from one day to the next. Lives of most living things are dominated by the 24-hour night-and-day cycle. The fact that we feel tired and fall asleep at night and become awake during the day proves it. If the right 24-hour cycle is interrupted, people experience unpleasant side effects.
Scientists have identified three biorhythmic cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual. Each cycle lasts approximately 28 days and each is divided into a high energy period and a low energy period of equal length. During the low energy period we are less resistant to illness and tire more easily. The low periods puts energy into our "batteries" for the next high period. During the high energy period of a physical biorhythm we are more resistant to illness, better coordinated and more energetic.
"Critical" or weakest time is the time of change-over from the high energy period to the low energy period, or vice versa. This "critical" time usually lasts a day. On the critical day of the physical biorhythm, there is a greater chance of accident and illness.
Human bodies are individual and so we each have our own biorhythmic experience.
Task 1.Answer the questions.
1) What are Biorhythms?
2) What problems can people have if their 24-hour rhythm is interrupted?
3) What three biorhythmic cycles have scientists identified?
4) Which is the weakest part of a cycle?
5) How long does each cycle last?
