Newburyport Health & Wellness the issues they have routinely can be caused by poor sleep quality. Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout our lives. The way you feel while Brighter Smiles... you’re awake depends in part on what happens while you’re sleeping. Sleep helps your brain work properly. Studies show that a good night’s sleep improves learning. Studies also show that sleep deficiency may cause you to have trouble making decisions, solving problems, controlling your emotions and behavior, and coping with change. Sleep plays an important role in your physical health. For example, sleep is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, sexual dysfunction, ADHD, obesity and depression. Sleep issues can affect the young, the old and everyone in between. The many changes that take place in our bodies as we age can increase the risk of sleep disorders. Sleep apnea is one of many sleep disorders. It is a serious, potentially life-threatening sleep disorder that affects approximately 18 million Americans. It comes from the Greek meaning of apnea which means “want of breath”. people with sleep apnea have episodes in which they stop breathing for 10 seconds or more during sleep. people with sleep apnea usually do not remember waking up during the night.

In the first, researchers tracked 210,000 people in 10 european countries for some 16 years. Coffee drinkers had lower risk of liver disease, lower rates of diseases of the circulatory and digestive systems (in men) and states for six years. The study was designed to compare the result of drinking coffee in whites versus non-whites. In this research, participants across the board who drank 2 to 4 cups per day had an 18 percent lower risk of death. It Intro to Adult Sleep Senior Scene Drink Coffee, Live Longer potential problems may include morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability and impaired mental or emotional functioning, excessive snoring, choking/gasping during sleep, insomnia, or awakening with a dry mouth or throat. Have you been told that you snore? Do you often feel tired, fatigued, or sleepy during the daytime? Do you know if you stop breathing or has anyone witnessed you stop breathing while you are asleep? Do you have high blood pressure or are you on medication to control high blood pressure? Is your body mass index greater than 28? Are you a male with a neck circumference greater than 17 inches or a female greater 16 inches? (Note: anyone of any size can have sleep apnea) If you answered yes to more than two of these questions, or if there is anything else in this column that makes you believe you may not be getting the quality of sleep you would like, please discuss these with your physician.

No matter which study you believe, the patterns are the same when it comes to drinking coffee -- it can help extend your life. why do europeans get more life-extending benefits than those in the u.S.? My guess: In europe they take the time to savor the coffee, sitting in outdoor cafes, talking with friends, taking time to relax, and not just using caffeine as a jolt to start the day. A caveat, however: beware what you put in your coffee. If you add calorie-heavy creamers or flavored additives, you could be adding too much sugar to your diet. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
