5 Ways The Moon Affect Your Health & Behavior?

Research has discovered a full moon can affect our physical well being in many ways.

  1. Heart - The moon cycle may affect your heart but not in the romantic sense. A study published in the Indian Journal of Basic and Applied Medical Research found that when exercising, your heart is at its peek performance during a full moon and new moon. I'll definitely be working out around this time!
  2. Brain - We all know that they moon is responsible for the flow of ocean tides, because our brains are a significant source of water, Dutch researchers hypothesize the Moon's gravitational pull could similarly have an effect on our brain, causing erratic behavior (check out: Do Full Moons Make People Crazy).
  3. Menstrual Cycle - The average menstrual cycle is approximately 28 days, which is quite similar to the 29 day-ish lunar cycle. This timing may be more than a coincidence according to Chinese researchers who discovered that almost 30% of all the women monitored ovulated at the full Moon and menstruated during the new moon. In some cultures, there is even a name for this phenomenon, called White Moon Cycle, which essentially mirrors the fertility of the Earth which is said to be most fertile under full moonlight.
  4. Sleep - A study published in Current Biology in 2013 reviewed the sleep patterns of participants over 3 days in which they were allowed to fall asleep at will in a controlled environment that had neither clocks nor outside light. After comprising all the data, it was then compared to the moon phases, researchers determined participants not only had lower melatonin levels during bright moon phases, but they also took 5 minutes long to fall asleep,slept 20 minutes less in general, and had 30% less REM sleep.
  5. Injuries - Knowing that the full moon can affect our behavior in certain ways, it shouldn't be a surprise that we are more prone to accidents or illness during this time. A study published in World Journal of Surgery in 2011 found that over 40% of medical personnel believe in "Full Moon Madness" among patients. It was also revealed that emergency calls for all sorts of conditions actually increases by 3% whenever there's a full moon, and the drops by 6% during a new moon.

British researchers in 2008 found a link between the lunar cycle and what doctors call "medically unexplained stroke symptoms", where patients develop complaints such as headaches, numbness and coordination issues but have nothing physically wrong with them.
