Some Unusual Reasons You Might Not Be Able To Easily Fall Asleep

You’ve probably heard news reports about some of the reason we may not be able to easily fall asleep, such as watching your electronics devices less than an hour before bed to having alcohol or caffeinated coffee too close to bed time.

There are several other things you may be doing that you are not aware of that are causing you to have a restless night’s sleep. 

Eating a lot of fast food – the journal Sleep Health reported that adults who drank a lot of soda were more likely to sleep five hours or less at night. In addition having burger and fries also reduces your ability to sleep.

Certain drugs you’re taking can also interfere with your sleep. These are

Beta-Blockers,  SSRI antidepressant drugs and asthma medications.

So…if one of these apply, you’ll need to adjust your diet and your medications to have a restful lights sleep.

A New Way To Look At How The Brain And Our Immune System Interact

While the blood vessels of the body carry blood throughout your body, there is another system that carries immune cells throughout your body and into the brain. It’s the lymphatic system and it used to be thought that the lymphatic vessels stopped before they reached your brain. Scientists from the University of Virginia have now discovered that we have lymphatic vessels in our brain. This discovery could affect the treatments for neurological diseases, such as, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, autism and many other diseases that affect the brain.

Paying It Forward Can Be Powerful In These Strange Times

You may have seen the movie Pay It Forward a number of years ago. Well, Time magazine had a blurb in the latest issue about a woman who started paying it forward at a McDonalds. She noticed a van behind her on the drive thru line where a man had a bunch of kids in the car. She decided to tell the cashier that she would pay their bill. When the man got to the cashier he decided to pay the next car’s bill. The McDonald’s staff reported that this went on for hours and that a total of 167 people paid it forward. Yes!!!

There Are Benefits To Being A Weekend Warrior

The thinking used to be that being a weekend warrior, which means doing a lot of exercise only on weekends, could be dangerous to your health as you risked injury and maybe even death from overdoing it on the weekend. In addition, you were unlikely to get much fitness benefit from being inactive for the other 5 days of the week.

Well, it turns out there’s a lot more benefit in being a weekend warrior than has been thought. This information came from a study reported by the British where they found that when the researchers compared the weekend warriors to inactive adults, the warriors had a lower risk of death from all causes, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. So…while only exercising on weekend doesn’t give you as much benefit as a more regular exercise program, it’s much better than doing nothing at all.

Changing Farming Practices Produce Higher Yields, Have Less Erosion And Save $$$

An article in the Union of Concerned Scientists publication reported on a way to reduce soil erosion by 88% and save taxpayers between $241 million and $505 million annually in cleanup costs from run off from farms while reducing global warming emissions. How do you do that? 

It turns out it’s simple. All farmers need to do is switch from a 2 crop rotation system between corn and soy to a three or four crop rotation system, as well as, practicing no till farming. This system would add oats and a cover crop of red clover both of which act as a “green” manure. The researchers found that this increased crop yields so that the corn yield was 2 to 4% higher and soybean yields were 10 to 17 % higher than the 2 crop system. So…a simple change can have a profound and profitable experience for our environment and farmers.

Keep Your Bones and Your Mind Healthy By Eating The Mediterranean Diet

 The Mediterranean Diet of having fresh produce, lean protein, and healthy fats has been shown to increase a person’s longevity. There are now several other benefits that have been reported by eating this way that showed up in people on this diet who were in their early 70s. These people had almost half as many bone fractures as those who did not eat this way and they had less brain atrophy over a 3-year period. Eating The Mediterranean Diet way has also been shown to protect people from diabetes, heart disease and it may even protect against cancer. So…if this is what it does for people in their early 70s, imagine if you are younger how beneficial it would be for you.
