Sound Sleep:Does sleep really affect
health? You bet it does. During sleep, your body is resting and
recovering from all the work is has done throughout the day. Your
serotonin levels are brought back in line, your muscles relax, and mind
is allowed to clear itself in preparation for the next day. If you are
not getting the proper amount of sleep, you will notice it in a physical
way. While there is no magic number, usually between six and eight
hours a night is appropriate. If you have difficulty getting to sleep,
before you climb into bed, try Yoga, listening to soft, relaxing music, a
glass of wine, or if you can talk someone into it, a good massage.
Eliminate Stress:
You have probably
heard this before. Stress is a key contributor to poor health. Study
after study has found that when a person is stressed, the body reacts.
The result of stress could be high-blood pressure, tension headaches,
upset stomachs, poor posture, and so on. Keeping stress in check will
help you manage your overall health much better
