The body needs a proper sleeping pattern so that it functions properly as if that is not the case many health issues will start to appear. However, some people can easily fall asleep and some cannot.  The reason for that is the stress during the day and the constant worries of how things will turn out. Not having enough sleep during the night can substantially impede in the fulfillment of the daily tasks, not to mention that you are feeling moody and cranky all the time. For that reason, many people who suffer from this issue reach for the use of sleeping pills which have only a temporary effect, and because of that you need to use them all the time which in the worst case scenario it can lead to an addiction.

An adult person should get 7-8 hours of sleep per night, and if that is not achieved it will lead to the occurrence of many health issues and less productivity. Dr. Jo

There are many possible reasons for this– stress of the holidays, lack of Vitamin D, the cold– but regardless, it often results in us getting cold or flu-like symptoms. As the saying goes, when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. More specifically, in this case, you make a detox lemonade to put the pep back in your step and boost your immune system.

As people age, the body starts to fall apart: Hormones decline, Skin wrinkles, Libido and sex drive drops, Hair thins, Memory problems, Hearing declines, and of course Vision problems. Genetics play a big role in everything. However, most of these problems can be reversed or most certainly slowed down if the proper preventative measures are taken. This is especially important if a person does not have the best eye genetics. Early adoption of these measures lead to better results and higher chances of potentially reversing, preventing or slowing down the progressive decline of these age related problems. Eat Specific Foods & Take Supplements Diets filled with a variety of fresh, organic foods, vegetables and fruits are highly recommended. Where this is lacking, supplements that have been shown to help prevent eye degeneration and enhance vision especially at night are indicated. These include Vitamins A (and Beta Carotene), C, E, and the Mineral Zinc. These vitamins

Although  you might  know that  eating certain foods can  increase your heart  disease risk,  it's  often  tough  to  change  your eating habits.  Whether you have  years of  unhealthy eating  under your belt  or  you  simply want  to fine-tune your  diet, here  are  eight  heart-healthy diet  tips.  Once you  know  which  foods to  eat more  of  and which  foods  to  limit,  you'll be  on  your way toward a heart-healthy diet. 1.

Use a small plate  or  bowl  to  help  control  your  portions.  Eat  larger portions  of low-calorie, nutrient-rich foods,  such  as  fruits and vegetables, and smaller portions of  high-calorie, high-sodium foods, such as refined,  processed  or  fast  foods.

For this condition, doctors typically prescribe blood-lowering drugs, but could exercise help just as well? people jogging A new study suggests that exercise can be just as effective as drugs when it comes to keeping blood pressure under control.
