Foods and Herbs to Help You Sleep Better Tonight
With today’s hectic and busy lifestyle that most of us seem to suffer from, consistently getting a good night’s sleep can be quite elusive. This being said, sleep is an essential for the human body and is required to support overall good health and wellness, both physically and mentally. More specifically, failing to regularly receive enough sleep can lead to decreases in mental alertness and performance, cognitive impairment, moodiness, stress, injury due to lack of attention, weight gain, heart attach, stroke, and poor quality of life, to name a few.
Several recent clinical studies have concluded that there are all-natural sleep aids (namely certain foods and herbs) that will promote sleep, improve the quality of your sleep, and allow you to doze more quickly without putting any other aspects of your health and wellness in danger.

Looking to Curb Hunger? Try Exercise, New Study Says
For many individuals that consistently lead an overall healthy lifestyle, regularly exercising, consuming a well balanced diet, and getting plenty of rest are all part of the equation.
However, several recently published reports have posed a difficult question to many individuals that regularly exerciser: if regularly performing an exercise workout makes you hungry, and you end up eating more calories than you just burned (or more), then why bother with exercising in the first place?
Indeed, many fitness enthusiasts notice the exercise hunger effect, or, in other words, craving junk food after performing an exercise routine. For some individuals they actually do consume more food on the days that they exercise when compared to the days that they do not.
Although, and fortunately for some individuals that this scenario, the exercise hunger effect, does not apply to everyone. In fact, newly published clinical research is indicating that regular exercise can actually curb hunger instead of increasing it.

Lifestyle Changes, Supplements, Devices Treat Hypertension
If you suffer from hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend a drug or supplement, along with certain lifestyle changes, to assist you in treating your hypertension. However, with so many treatment options available, many of which are advertized as a new “miracle cure” for hypertension, which are the safest and most effective?
Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center have been conducting ongoing clinical studies in hopes of answering that exact question. To date, they have determined that certain non-drug treatments are indeed effective, while others may provide no benefit or even worsen the condition of your blood pressure levels or other aspects of your health. Additional treatments, currently under evaluation, require more research before their effects can be fully understood.
Comparing Common Pain Medications
When you are suffering from either a headache, a stiff back or joint pain, or sore muscles you probably reach for the nearest bottle of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin, take a tablet or two according to the instructions on the label, and hope that the pain subsides fairly quickly.
A new study published by the United Kingdom’s Oxford University comparing the effectiveness of common pain medications suggests that, depending on the pain medication chosen, you might not have much to hope for in terms of pain relief. The study found that only around 33% of individuals who take a single dose of acetaminophen (600 mg) or aspirin (1,000 mg) experience what they’d classify as “good relief” from their acute pain. In the context of the study, “good relief” was defined as a perceived 50% reduction in pain that lasted for between 4 and 6 hours.
The British study that was performed aggregated the data of over 350 separate trials comprising a total of 45,000 participants. Nearly 50 different drugs and specific drug combinations were tested for their efficacy in relieving acute pain at various doses.

Aerobic Exercise Can Prevent and Fight Dementia
Dementia is not defined as a specific disease; instead it is a more general term that is used to describe a wide range of symptoms related to a decline in memory or other cognitive skills that become severe enough to limit an individual’s ability to perform everyday activities.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia and accounts for approximately 60 to 80 percent of all cases. Vascular dementia, which typically occurs after a stroke, is the second most frequent type of dementia.
However, there are several other common medical conditions that can lead to symptoms related to dementia, including several types that are reversible, such as thyroid conditions and vitamin deficiencies, to name a few.
In addition, dementia is commonly incorrectly classified as senile dementia or senility, which specifically references the widespread, but invalid, belief that declines in mental capability and cognitive function are a normal part of the aging process.
