Understanding our Body's Temperature Rhythm
1:08:10 - 1:15:32 (07:22)
Our body temperature follows an endogenous rhythm that is anchored to being lowest at 4 a.m. and increasing through the day until 4-6 p.m. External cues such as light and exercise can entrain or match our temperature rhythm, and changes in temperature due to exercise can shift our circadian rhythm dramatically.

Exercise and eating can significantly alter our circadian rhythm by changing our body temperature.

Summary
Exercise and eating can significantly alter our circadian rhythm by changing our body temperature. This is because temperature and day length are closely linked metabolically, biologically, and atmospherically.
