Late morning to early afternoon is when your body and brain are most energized and efficient.
According to Ayurveda and modern chronobiology, your maximum energy state during the day typically occurs around:10 AM to 2 PM.
Our metabolism is most elevated in the evening.
Firstly, our body temperature tends to rise in the late afternoon and evening, which promotes increased metabolic activity.
Additionally, our muscle strength and endurance are typically higher during these hours, leading to more calorie expenditure through physical activity.
Furthermore, the concept of thermogenesis comes into play.
Thermogenesis refers to the production of heat by our bodies. During the evening, our bodies naturally engage in more thermogenesis, resulting in a higher calorie burn.
