Healthy sleeping - basic information

Healthy sleeping is one of the most important factors for our health. Generaly the sleep is a kind of regereration process of all live beings.

If you want to be healthy, you have to sleep well. If you will not, there are many bad results:

• The night without a sleep decreases the level of white blood cells (leukocytes) minus 30 percent.
  
  Leukocytes are the most important protection to any disease. So if you have one night without a sleep and you will be in contact with stronger amount of viruses, you will be probably ill in following week.
  
  If you want to have some night party, it is recommended to support your immunity with multivitamins or/and amino-acids before and after. The simpliest way to have a tea from Vilcacora (Uncaria tomentosa), the plant that highly increase the immune system activity.
  
  Do not have a party if you are not in good health condition.



• Longer period without healthy sleep causes psychical disorders.
  
  If you are sleeping, the brain cleans your stress results, stabilizes your memory and regenerate your psychic abbilites. After few days of very bad sleep (or sleep is absent), your intelect goes down very quickly also your memory and you can start some psychical disorders as depressions, anxieties, etc. If you live in highly stress environment (manager profession, bad family conditions, problems with your partners), the requiement of sleep is higher, because your brain must hold more negative factors.
  
  If you have psychic problems, sleep better and more hourse, otherwise your problems will be worse.
  

Average human sleeps about 8 hours a day, but individually the requirement of sleep is from 4 to 12 hours. Try to experiment with the amount of sleep, if you wake up, you must feel well and fresh till 5 minutes you are on your legs. If not, your sleep was not well.

Remember, that the deepest sleep is about 2 a.m., better sleep is if there is a dark outside and human biological clock expects the sleep between 22 p.m. and 7.00 a.m. in average.

In some of the next post I will show you some good sleeping positions and tricks for good sleep.

Heal The World

The way to healthy lifestyle is not full of rules and exercises. It is also about optimism and joy from your health. To get some inspiration I founded new section Music, where you find some nice music to your healthy life.

The first one has original name - Heal The World, famous hit from Michael Jackson. Music is my hobby, so I have arranged Karaoke version of this song. Enjoy It!

Bad Habits - Smoking

Smoking is probably the most common bad habit for your healthy lifestyle. 5 milion deaths is cause by smoking every year. (source WHO) So why do people smoke and how is possible to stop smoking?

History:
As drugs tobacco is closely connected with the human history. The first tobacco users were people from ancient civilizations all arround the world about 5 000 B.C. (source Wikipedia). Of course as drugs, tobacco were used because of religional purposes (yes, our well-known shamans).

The most famous fact from history is probably using tobacco by Native Americans from the time of Wild-West (you know it from westerns). These people used calumet - ceremonial smoking pipe. Remember the word "ceremonial", which does not mean, they used it for the style or escaping from reality.

In Europe there were some waves of smoking as a cultural phenomena. Finaly in last 50 years the main product for smoking is the cigarette.

Generally you can divide smokers to these groups:

Cigarette
The worst you can smoke. Today's cigarettes are not from pure tobacco, but full of artificial chemicals to enhance the taste, smoke, smell and nicotine absorption. Some sources say, there are more than 4 000 substances in cigarettes, most of them not really good for us.

Because cigarettes are inhaled, your lungs will be full of tar (permanent status, you cannot remove it), you have great risc of many cancer types.

Kretek
Tobacco combined with clove was made at the beging of 20th century for curing lung's allergies. Less dangerous than cigarette, but still not healthy as predicted.

Pipe
Pipe smokers has mostly more quality tobacco, they do not inhale smoke to lungs and they are less physicaly dependent due to less smoking in general. So in this case less dangerous than previous types, but still risc of tongue cancer.

Cigar
If you are the right cigar smoker, you will have it in your mouth aproximately once a minute. Most of the time the cigar is resting in the ashtray. The most quality tobacco used, usually without added chemicals. If these rules are applied, there is less health danger comparing to previous types.
