Sleep Disorders - The Harmful Effects

By Edward Neilson

Out of each 24 hour day, it is recommended be experts that you sleep at least a third of the day (8 hours), which is a good chunk of the day. You may think that nothing is happening while you are sleeping, your body is actually doing a lot during that time. If you are suffering from sleep deprivation, then your body can't benefit like it should be.

Studies show that getting between seven and nine hours of sleep is the best bet every night. Sleeping helps your body and your brain to recoup. Your muscles are given a chance to rest, and your brain cells begin to revive themselves when you go to sleep.

When this process is interrupted it is called sleep deprivation. Some effects of sleep deprivation include a weakened immune system and even memory loss. It can become a serious illness if you continue to be deprived of sleep for a long period of time.

A weakened immune system will prevent your body from being able to attack viruses that you may come into contact with. If you are noticing that you are catching a cold or flu more often, it may be due to a lack of sleep. Getting sick will cause you to have to miss school or work, which can affect other areas of your life.

There are a few ways to tell if you are being deprived of sleep. One of those signs is that you are falling asleep at odd times of the day, or you are needing frequent naps. This might be a normal pattern for you, but it is unhealthy for your body.

Keeping a sleep diary will enable you to track how much you are sleeping and how good the sleep is. By keeping track of your sleep this way, you can begin to notice patterns. You are deprived of sleep if you aren't getting the recommended amount each night.

By keeping your bed comfortable, you help your body to stay asleep longer instead of waking up often. By keeping your sheets clean you add to the comfort. If weather permits it, you can try keeping a window open during the night to get some fresh air which is good for your body.

Overall, if you are lacking in proper sleep, then your body will have negative effects. There are pills and medications you can take to help you to sleep better. Sleeping better will help you to have an overall better quality of health and life.

Are There Heart Benefits From Fish Oil Supplements?

By Peter Bertonich

Recently I've written a lot about the health benefits of taking fish oil supplements, or what is also known as Omega 3 supplements. Lets look today at the heart benefits of fish oil supplements.

The Jan/Feb issue of Sports Health, A Multidisciplinary Approach, has published the results of a new study.

The study was about the heart benefits of taking fish oil supplements, or essential fatty acid supplements. The main component of these is fish oil, and the 2 major fats are DHA and EPA.

These football players took either fish oil capsules or a placebo, the fish oil capsules containing 2560 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (650 mg EPA and 450 mg DHA in each capsule.) 36 players took part.

The study, or it's results, backed up the conclusions of so many other studies that supported the health benefits of Omega 3 fish oil supplementation that increased the levels of essential fatty acids in the diet.

The football players had an improvement in their HDL levels (their good cholesterol) and a reduction in their LDL levels (their bad cholesterol).

And as well they demonstrated an improvement in overall triglycerides, the level being significantly lowered.

This is not the only fish oil supplements study to find a link between Omega3 and heart health. There are now numerous studies confirming a range of heart related health benefits of taking fish oil or Omega 3 supplements.

And the American Heart Association also recommends that we all take at least a gram a day of EPA and DHA and that if we have elevated triglycerides that this be increased.

So now that you know how important taking sufficient Omega 3 fats in your diet is, how do you increase your intake? By using the very best Omega 3 fish oil supplements.

But don't make the mistake of assuming that all fish oil supplements are the same. They aren't. Some contain much higher levels of DHA than others, and some also can contain contaminants like heavy metals, mercury and PCBs. The very best fish oil capsules contain no contaminants and also have a much higher level of DHA than others.

So anyone at risk of heart related health problems should be taking the very best fish oil supplements. That's you.

I'll let you know where to source the best fish oil capsules on my website.
