GOOD MORNING! Let sun rays touch...brush well...Stimulate with coffee

Enter your day happy and relaxed, and you greatly increase your chances of a healthy, productive day.

Go to sleep with your blinds or curtains halfway open. Even better: Go to bed early enough so that waking up when the sun shines through your window still gives you the recommended seven hours of shut-eye. If you maintain this routine, it’s likely that you can start relying on your biological clock rather than an alarm clock.

Brush your tongue for one minute. There’s no better way to rid yourself of morning breath and begin your day minty fresh and clean. After all, more than 300 types of bacteria take up residence in your mouth every night. You think a quick brush over the teeth is going to vanquish them all?

Wake to the smell of coffee. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that acts in many ways like other stimulant drugs such as amphetamines, waking you up and increasing your muscular activity.

How to eat ?

Balance your food choices

saliva - Digester

Smelling your favourite food causes your mouth to produce 80% more saliva.

Why is blood pressure so important?

One of the most important steps in protecting your heart: getting your blood pressure to a healthy level. Having high blood pressure boosts your risk for leading killers such as heart attack and stroke, not to mention aneurysms, cognitive decline, and kidney failure. Despite its danger, high blood pressure on its own has no symptoms

You should always consult with your doctor about how to treat high blood pressure, but here are some basic factors to consider:

Medication. Your doctor may prescribe medication to control your blood pressure, but these meds can have some uncomfortable side effects such as leg cramps, dizziness, and insomnia. Fortunately, there are a number of lifestyle factors that can help control blood pressure.

Weight Loss. Experts aren't sure why excess weight often leads to excessively high blood pressure, but it's clear that maintaining a healthy weight puts less stress on your ticker. And it doesn't have to be a dramatic loss: Even weighing a few pounds less can help bring down your BP a few points. Get simple tips to jump-start your weight loss efforts.

Let the Sunshine In!

Well, if you have Vitamin D deficiency and want more than just food and supplements, then sunshine is for you! Spend a little time outside in the morning and soak it in. Of course, be aware that you don’t want to get sunburn. If mornings are out, then make sure you use a sunscreen and take other precautions. Everything in moderation works well.

If you are suffering from calcium deficiency, then the good news is that the time spent in the sun will help your body to better absorb the calcium in your food thanks to the sunny Vitamin D.

Research shows that sleep patterns affect your body weight as well as moods. Sunshine helps to stimulate the pineal gland which secretes melatonin. If you prefer self-help to medication, then this is a great way to boost your melatonin secretion to get a good night’s rest and feel calmer.

It would be years before I actually understood why the play made an impact so deep that it deserved to be captured on celluloid forever.

The exercise that I would suggest is to go to the garden or your balcony or even your window early in the morning and face the sun. Close your eyes and let the sun-rays enter your body. Visualize the rays are directly coming into your body through your third-eye area and filling your body with energy and strengthening your aura.

Make it more interesting by using your affirmations or favourite mantra.

Try it for size and see what a difference it makes to your day!

BE HEALTHY BY CHOICE NOT BY CHANCE

5 Reasons to Exercise in the Evening

You'll have more time to devote to your workouts, since you won't feel rushed to have to make an appointment or get to work.

Other people are usually free at this time, so you'll be able to have a motivating workout buddy.

Dinner is over, so you'll be fueled up already and have energy to move. Plus, exercising after eating will curb your cravings so you're less likely to snack before bed.

If you work out at a gym, this time of day is usually less crowded, so you won't have to wait to use equipment.

It'll help you clear your mind so you can have a restful night of sleep.

Fit's Tips:
Try to make your workouts end at least an hour before you plan on hitting the sheets, otherwise you may be too wound up to fall asleep.

మీ జాబ్ కూర్చుని మాత్రమే చేసేదా ? అరగంటకోసారి రెండు మూడు నిమిషాలు అక్కడే తిరగండి!

have a healthy, energetic morning!

There are natural ways, however, to remedy this and increase your morning energy.

When you wake up in the morning, step outside and breathe deeply for a couple of minutes. Raise your arms and stretch your body. The fresh air (and hopefully, sunshine) will awaken your senses.
Drink a large glass of water first thing in the morning.

The human body is made up of a large percentage of water; the brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%. A mere 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger signs of dehydration. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue.

It’s important to eat breakfast. As a matter of fact, every meal of the day is important, but eating a balanced breakfast that includes some lean protein will give you natural energy to start your day. Also, to your morning coffee or tea, add a teaspoon of honey. The caffeine plus the natural sugar in the honey will give you a boost of energy.

Take a 5-10 minute walk in the morning. The fresh air, sunshine and exercise will rev up your engine and energise you.
Take up a new hobby or creative interest.

Monotony breeds fatigue. When you have nothing to look forward to, it’s hard to generate energy. We all need to create new energy and zest into our lives. What do you enjoy doing? Is there a hobby you’ve always wanted to try? Do something creative (craft projects, painting, woodworking, etc.) – it will invigorate you.

Once you have a passionate interest in your life, getting up in the morning will be more of a joy than a chore.

Air pollution linked to low birth weight in babies: study

Pregnant women who live in areas with high air pollution are significantly more likely to bear children of low birth weight, according to the largest international study of its kind.

Mothers who are exposed to particulate air pollution of the type emitted by vehicles, urban heating and coal power plants risk having babies of low birth weight,according to the study.

The study analysed data collected from more than three million births in nine nations at 14 sites in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The study was led by co-principal investigator Tracey J Woodruff, professor of obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive sciences at UC San Francisco along with Jennifer Parker, of the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The researchers found that at sites worldwide, the higher the pollution rate, the greater the rate of low birth weight.
Low birth weight, a weight below 2500 grams, is associated with serious health consequences, including increased risk of
postnatal morbidity and mortality and chronic health problems in later life, noted lead author Payam Dadvand, of the Centre
for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) in Barcelona, Spain.

In the study, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, the team assessed data collected from research centres in the International Collaboration on Air Pollution and Pregnancy Outcomes, an international research collaborative established in 2007 to study the effects of pollution on pregnancy outcomes.

Most of the data assessed was collected during the mid-1990s to the late 2000s, and in some cases, earlier. "What's significant is that these are air pollution levels to which practically everyone in the world is commonly exposed. These microscopic particles, which are smaller than the width of a human hair, are in the air that we all breathe," said Woodruff in a statement.

Woodruff noted that nations with tighter regulations on particulate air pollution have lower levels of these air pollutants.
"In the United States, we have shown over the last several decades that the benefits to health and wellbeing from reducing air pollution are far greater than the costs. This is a lesson that all nations can learn from," Woodruff said.

Put them down every day ...Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU

Read this small story; Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU

The Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students “How much do you think this glass weighs?"
'50gms!'..... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ...the students answered.
"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the professor, "but, my question is:
What would happen if I hel
d it up like this for a few minutes?"
'Nothing' …..the students said.
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student
"You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?"
"Your arm could go numb; you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!"
….. Ventured another student & all the students laughed
"Very good.
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" Asked the professor.
'No'…. Was the answer.
"Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?"
The students were puzzled.
"What should I do now to come out of pain?" asked professor again.
"Put the glass down!" said one of the students
"Exactly!" said the professor.
Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before you go to sleep...
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

So, when you start your day today, Remember friend to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! '

How many hours of sleep are enough for good health?

Answer
from Team GSL Hospital

The amount of sleep you need depends on various factors — especially your age. Consider these general guidelines for different age groups:

Age group Recommended amount of sleep
Infants 14 to 15 hours
Toddlers 12 to 14 hours
School-age children 10 to 11 hours
Adults 7 to 9 hours
In addition to age, other factors may affect how many hours of sleep you need. For example:

Pregnancy. Changes in a woman's body during pregnancy can increase the need for sleep.
Aging. Older adults need about the same amount of sleep as younger adults. As you get older, however, your sleeping patterns may change. Older adults tend to sleep more lightly and awaken more frequently during the night than do younger adults. This may create a need for or tendency toward daytime napping.
Previous sleep deprivation. If you're sleep deprived, the amount of sleep you need increases.
Sleep quality. If your sleep is frequently interrupted or cut short, you're not getting quality sleep — and the quality of your sleep is just as important as the quantity.
Although some people claim to feel rested on just a few hours of sleep a night, research shows that people who sleep so little over many nights don't perform as well on complex mental tasks as do people who get closer to seven hours of sleep a night. Additionally, studies among adults show that getting much more or less than seven hours of sleep a night is associated with a higher mortality rate.

If you experience frequent daytime sleepiness, even after increasing the amount of quality sleep you get, consult your doctor. He or she may be able to identify any underlying causes — and help you get a better night's sleep.
