Image
 One of the most important—yet sometimes disregarded—aspects of our health is sleep. Many individuals in our fast-paced, productivity-driven environment choose to forgo sleep in order to have longer days. But getting enough sleep is essential for mental and physical health. The body can heal itself, balance hormones, and regenerate the brain with a good night's sleep. Sleep is crucial for many reasons beyond just feeling rested; regular, high-quality sleep has a profound effect on immune system and cognitive performance, among other areas of health. Brain function is one of the most direct consequences of sleep deprivation. The brain learns, processes memories, and purges metabolic waste when we sleep. Research has indicated that inadequate sleep can result in issues related to focus, making decisions, and even mood disorders including despair and anxiety. Chronic lack of sleep has been shown to progressively worsen mental health problems over time, highlighting the vital link bet...

Stop The Stress Cycle

Stop The Stress Cycle   Imagine this: You’re at the doctor’s office for an annual checkup. Excitedly, you point out that you’ve lost the weight that you both knew you needed to drop.  “That’s wonderful,” the doctor says, adjusting the stethoscope around her neck and drawing up a stool near your own chair. “But we’ve got a bigger heath concern than your weight.” “We do?” you ask, puzzled. The doctor nods, “Your stress levels are out of control.” You swallow. Sure, you answered on the higher end of the scale on the stress-related questionnaire your doctor went over with you. But everybody is stressed these days. And stress isn’t that bad . . . is it? According to the Health + Wellness 2019 study put out by the Hartman Group, stress and anxiety have overtaken weight as the primary medical concern for Americans. “Sixty-three percent of consumers say they are treating or preventing anxiety or stress compared to 61 percent who are treating or preventing being overweight,” says David...

The Simple Stress Buster: Breathing

Image
 The Simple Stress Buster: Breathing Breathing. Breathing  is the process of moving  air  into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly by bringing in oxygen and flushing out carbon dioxide. All aerobic creatures need oxygen for cellular respiration, which uses the oxygen to break down foods for energy and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. Breathing, or "external respiration", brings air into the lungs where gas exchange takes place in the alveoli through diffusion. The body's circulatory system transports these gases to and from the cells, where "cellular respiration" takes place. There’s a simple stress buster that everyone has access to, something you can do whether you’re at work, at home, or on the road. You can do it first thing in the morning, at any time of day, and even in the middle of the night. It’s one of the fastest, most effectiv...

  10 Ways to Boost Your Immune System Being prepared to fight off a contagious illness—whether it’s the flu, COVID-19, or any other infectious disease—is similar, in many ways, to the preparations and tactical moves that a military force must make to ward off an enemy. Our immune system is an amazing network of “soldiers”—comprised of white blood cells, B cells, T cells, natural killer cells, and more. In optimum conditions, they are ready to fight off any pathogens (bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms) that try to invade our bodies and destroy our health. The more vigorous our immune system, the less likely we are to succumb to disease. If you want to keep your immune system strong and ready to fight, try these natural defense tactics: 1.come clean. Over the past few months, as the COVID-19 pandemic dominated the news—and our lives—we heard this advice again and again: “Wash your hands.” And with good reason. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, wash...
