You may have heard this quote many times “early to bed & early to rise makes a person happy, healthy & wise.”
Many Indians tell that it’s good to get up when the Brahma Muhrata starts (Brahma Muhrata starts at 3:00 am & ends at 6:00 am)
Some also tell that it’s good to get up before sunrise.
Scientifically it’s good for health to get up before sunrise.
You may know that everyone’s body has a clock & according to clock’s time body releases various chemicals.
Adrenal gland secretes cortisol a stress hormone during Brahma Muhrata.
It is also released when a person is stressed.
If a person is awake & active during Brahma Muhrata then cortisol’s level will be lower than when that person is at sleep.
High level of cortisol hormone in blood isn’t good for health as it affects blood pressure, metabolism, decreases muscle tissue, etc.
Thus getting up early before sunrise keeps cortisol levels low in body. It’s also good for kidneys & overall health & especially for those who suffer from blood pressure or hypertension.
Other reasons are early morning has less sound & disturbance so a person can do his/her work peacefully.
Also the best time to do Pranayam or Yoga or meditation or exercise or work-out is before sunrise.
