A GOOD SLEEP IS NECESSARY

 

The CDC (centres for disease control and prevention) recommend the following amounts of sleep in every 24-hour period:

Age	Hours of sleep
4–12 months	12–16, including naps
1–2 years	11–14, including naps
3–5 years	10–13, including naps
6–12 years	9–12
13–18 years	8–10
18–60 years	7 or more

 

There are many ways to support quality sleep, including counseling, lifestyle and environmental adjustments, medications, and alternative therapies.

Sometimes, a person also needs treatment for an underlying health condition. Consuming pills for this purpose without consulting a doctor is not advisable. If undergoing medication, then it should be properly done and taken care.

Behavioral and cognitive treatments

Some approaches that do not involve drugs include:

Relaxation techniques: Meditation, mindfulness training, breathing exercises, and guided imagery can help reduce tension. Audio recordings and sleep apps can also help.

Cognitive behavioral therapy: Known as CBT, this may help a person identify thought patterns that are contributing to limited sleep.

 

Home care strategies

Changing sleeping habits and the sleep environment can often help. A person can:

•  Try going to bed and waking up at the same times every day, even on the weekends, with the goal of establishing a routine.
•   Avoiding eating 2–3 hours before bedtime.
•   After trying to fall asleep for 20 minutes, get up and read, then try again later.
•   Get regular exercise during the day.
•   Keep the bedroom quiet, dark, and cool.
•  Turn off electronic devices and keep them away from the sleeping area.
•   Limit the consumption of caffeine and alcohol, especially close to bedtime.
•  Avoid tobacco use.
• 😌😌😌Use a mouth guard to manage bruxism.

Some people find that devices help, including mouth guards, white noise machines, anti-snore devices, sleep trackers, wedge pillows, and other products. These are available for purchase online. However, there is no guarantee that any of these will work.

If these measures do not help, a person should see a healthcare provider, especially if getting too little sleep is affecting the quality of life.

 

SLEEP

 

It might be so silly to talk about sleep in health and fitness but to be honest, sleep regulates most of our body’s systems and helps to maintain homeostasis. Lack or improper or irregular sleep cycles are hazardous to human health. This has become more common in this pandemic situation. It is one among those things where we don’t really see its result immediately but a prolonged one ends up one’s life in danger. Here are its impacts, not just to scare but to think and analyze more and to know the truth.

Sleep deprivation can affect various aspects of health, including:

·       The immune system: Sleep deprivation may cause a person to be more prone to infections, which may take longer to resolve, and respiratory diseases.

·       Weight: Sleep can affect the hormones that control feelings of hunger and fullness. It can also trigger the release of insulin. Changes to sleep can cause increased fat storage, changes in body weight, and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

·       The cardiovascular system: Sleep helps the heart vessels heal and rebuild and affects processes that maintain blood pressure, sugar levels, and inflammation control. Too little sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

·       Hormone levels: Insufficient sleep can affect hormone production, including the production of growth hormones and testosterone. It also causes the body to release additional stress hormones, such as norepinephrine and cortisol.

·       The brain: Sleep deprivation affects the prefrontal cortex, which handles reasoning, and the amygdala, which deals with emotion. A lack of sleep may also make it harder for a person to form new memories, which can affect learning.

·       Fertility: Poor sleep may affect the production of hormones that boost fertility.

·       Depression: Over time, lack of sleep and sleep disorders can contribute to the symptoms of depression. According to some estimates, 90% of people with insomnia - a sleep disorder characterized by trouble falling and staying asleep. Insomnia and depression feed on each other.

·       Aging on skin: Most people have experienced sallow skin and puffy eyes after a few nights of missed sleep. But it turns out that chronic sleep loss can lead to lackluster skin, fine lines, and dark circles under the eyes.

·       Cancer: Your risk for cancer increases. Shortened sleep is associated with higher rates of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer, according to the AASM’s sleep statement.

·       Sleeplessness cause road accidents too where many has lost their lives, which is commonly heard.

HEALTHY AND BEAUTY TIPS

Save your skin and perhaps your life:

Its never too late to adopt healthy beauty habits, but getting a jump on it earlier is better to migrate the biggest robber of skin resiliency, the sun . Simply using sunscreen is an important preventive measure.

Fight gravity with exercise:

Exercise is an antidote to gravitational forces , according to prevention magazine . Muscles under the skin are firmed up- even in your face when you use free weights and combine that with healthy aerobic activity like walking , dance classes or running.

Figure out a daily skin care plan:

Skin is the biggest organ in our body.  Occasional use of sunscreen and other skin care is not enough. Every day heath argues people to know their skin types to make their skin care plan. Normal skin and drier skin types should invest in a good hydrating serum, a quality eye cream and daily moisturizer , face oil  or lotion to use at night. 

GLOBAL WARMING – UV RADIATION

 

It is well known by everyone that global warming has caused holes on the surface of ozone layer by which UV (ultraviolet) rays enters earth and also it is being harmful to us. But most of us doesn’t know how or in what way it is harmful to us? Here it is.

For 30 years there has been concern that anthropogenic damage to the Earth's stratospheric ozone layer will lead to an increase of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface, with a consequent adverse impact on human health, especially to the skin. More recently, there has been an increased awareness of the interactions between ozone depletion and climate change (global warming), which could also impact on human exposure to terrestrial UV. The most serious effect of changing UV exposure of human skin is the potential rise in incidence of skin cancers.  The incidence of skin cancers continues to increase in most light-skinned populations, probably due to risky sun exposure behavior. Photodermatoses and phototoxic reactions to drugs are not uncommon; management of the latter includes recognition of the risks by the prescribing physician. Exposure to UV radiation has benefits for health through the production of vitamin D in the skin and modulation of immune function. The latter has hazards for skin diseases such as psoriasis and possibly for systemic autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. The health risks of sun exposure can be mitigated through appropriate sun protection, such as clothing with both good UV-blocking characteristics and adequate skin coverage, sunglasses, shade, and sunscreen. New sunscreen preparations provide protection against a broader spectrum of solar radiation, but it is not clear that this has benefits for health. Changes in the epidemiology of UV-induced eye diseases are less clear, due to a lack of data. Exposure to UV radiation plays a role in the development of cataracts (clouding of the normal clear lens of the eye), pterygium (a growth that starts on the clear tissue of the eye which can spread to cornea) and possibly age-related macular degeneration; these are major causes of visual impairment world-wide Gaps in knowledge make it difficult to derive evidence-based sun protection advice that balances the risks and benefits of sun exposure.

Toxic effect of incense stick

 

Major types of air pollutants in incense smoke and their toxicological effects

People who are exposed to incense fumes always inhale the whole complex mixture that contains particulate matter, gas products and many organic compounds. It is therefore difficult, if not impossible, to single out the health effects contributed by a certain component in the fumes. For example, there hasn't been any report about the ill effects on human health directly caused by the particles per se in the incense smoke.

Nevertheless, it's still helpful to know the composition of incense smoke in terms of types of pollutants and the corresponding toxicological effects – even though these cited effects were obtained from non-incense studies on air pollutants in general.

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON HUMAN HEALTH

 

TEMPERATURE AND ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH

‘Global warming’ the topic that was the most talked about for past three years and being fought against its effects even till now where it is almost not possible to bring back the original ozone layer back with no holes in it but as per our best try, we have controlled it very much from being further affected. It had various impacts that lead to several health problems. One of them were the temperature fluctuation, which might be a normal factor on sight, that really has great impact when we look deep into it. 

    

Rising global ambient temperatures affect all populations. Human health is more vulnerable to climate change. Temperature extremes can worsen a normal human’s chorionic conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory and cerebrovascular disease and diabetes related conditions too. Heat also has important indirect health effects. Heat gain in the human body can be caused by a combination of external heat from the environment and internal body heat generated from metabolic processes. Rapid rises in heat gain, due to exposure to hotter than average conditions compromises the body’s ability to regulate temperature and can result in a cascade of illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and hyperthermia. Heat conditions can alter human behavior, the transmission of diseases, health service delivery, air quality, and critical social infrastructure such as energy, transport, and water. Keeping our body cool and hydrated as much as possible will help us to be away from facing all these problems due to excess heat than normal.  

WHY GETTING FIT AND HEALTHY IS THE BEST DECISION FOR US:
