Everyone wants a good sleep to start a fresh new day, how to sleep better depends on our habits and daily activities. Many people face sleeping difficulties and disorder in their sleep which lead them to bad health. There are many ways to overcome insomnia and increase quality of sleep.
Here are 8 great tips to sleep better

Tip # 1: Monitor your sleep timing

Good and planned sleep strategies are a must to sleep soundly and undisturbed, therefore monitor your sleep timings to see is you are not disturbing the natural sleep cycle of your body. Many of us follow no sleep timing and at the end of the day fall victim to diseases like insomnia.
You can easily follow a few basic things to monitor your sleep. Set a regular time for your sleep, and try to sleep at that particular time. Follow this routine to sleep better and healthy.
Try to wake up at the same time in the morning and this can only happen if your sleep time naturally is set at a particular time. If you feel sleepy before your bed time fight the drowsiness and indulge yourself in any physical activity. Follow this routine on the weekends as well.

Tip # 2: Stop using electronic devices before going to bed

It is strongly advised not to use electronic devices like computers, TV, readers at least one hour before going to bed. Using electronic devices disturbs the natural hormone called Melatonin which is controlled by light exposure to regulate the natural wake up cycle of your body.

Tip # 3: Maintaing relaxing bedroom environment

For a perfect sound and better sleep it is very important to have a comfortable sleeping environment, make sure your bed is soft and relaxing and not too hard, your pillow is soft and your neck is resting on it comfortably, night bulbs in your bedroom are dim and not too bright, your bedroom is not noisy, you have switched off all the alarms and electronic devices. The temperature of your bedroom is moderate, not too cold or not too warm. Applying these little tweaks will help you sleep better.

Tip # 4: Little things you can do before going to sleep

Sometimes doing little things and applying small changes in your routine life can bring health and desired results. Try to take a warm bath before jumping in your bed, or you may read a few pages from your favorite book or listen to soft instrumental music to make your body and mind relaxed.

Tip # 5: Eat healthy food at dinner

Many of us eat oily food and stuff our tummies full before going to bed, this is not healthy, as this eating habit can cause many problems. It is always very wise to eat less and healthy food before going to bed for healthy and better sleep.

Tip # 6: Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking

Try not to drink alcohol before going to bed as sleeping senseless can cause many diseases relating to the brain. Quit smoking and alcohol for a sound sleep.

Tip # 7: Avoid stress

Try to go to bed with a relaxed body and mind. If you are stressed and your mind is not at peace you will have a disturbed sleep and you will wake up feeling lethargic in the morning. So keep the stresses and tensions for the next day and for now sleep with peaceful mind.

Tip # 8: When to see a doctor.

First of all applying these little changes in your routine life will make you sleep better, but at the same time if you are monitoring yourself and making these tweaks does not help you then you should see a sleep doctor to guide you in detail and give you sleep therapy session to better sleep.

dandruff treatment: solution for hair loss

Causes of dandruff must be understood to find a suitable remedy.  Dandruff is caused by the dead cells of our scalp skin, resulting in snowy flakes also causing an itchy feeling which at times is very embarrassing. I have lived with dandruff for years now and am still unable to find a cure to treat it.
This article explores the causes of dandruff in detail. A lot of people think dandruff is caused by the hair on our scalp which is not true, like all the skin on our body,scalp skin is also composed of many numbers of cells. These cells have their own life cycle, they are formed every day and die every day. It is very important to understand that every individual has a different body metabolism and likewise cells of their skin responds to the conditions they are exposed to differentiate. Every cell on our skin needs nutrition to live and grow, they require in other words food for their healthy growth. This supply of nutrition mainly comes from the blood supply vessels underneath our skin and also from exposure to heat and light from the environment around us. So all this means that when the skin cells fail to get the proper nutritions their life becomes less, and they die off quickly and are shed from the main skin giving way to new cells. Excess and fast shedding of these cells in scalp causes dandruff (remember dandruff being these dead cells). Individuals whose body do not provide proper nutrition and they don’t care of this issue face bad dandruff issue. Now the question arises here is what kind of nutrition is required to avoid cells from becoming dead fast.
There are many vitamins and antioxidants which must be taken either through healthy food intake by direct application on the skin to overcome this lack of nutrition. I have compiled a list of these vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Since our cells need energy to grow and be healthy vitamins from B category are important, B1 & B2 are for example necessary for cells to obtain energy and rapid growth.vitamin B12 is important for a number of synthetic processes going on within the cells.
Sun light and its heat radiation damages the skin, to avoid this condition vitamin C and E are needed by the skin. Natural source of vitamin “C “ are orange, grapefruit, strawberries and tomato. For vitamin E the natural sources are, red chili powder, almonds, basil and oregano, peanuts, cooked spinach.
Our skin becomes dry due to the lack of vitamin A, lack of this vitamin can also give you aging effect. Natural vitamin A can be obtained through eating cooked liver of any animal, sweet potatoes, carrots, red pepper, lettuce, dried apricots.
Application of antifungal creams at times work well to reduce dandruff, mostly the fungus patches appear on the skin of our scalps and cause cells to shed from the skin faster, these anti fungal creams help cure this condition.  For now we know what dandruff is actually and main causes of dandruff are improper nutrition or excess exposure to extreme condition, fight to overcome this situation can be tackled through improved diet plans and external application of supplements, shampoo and creams.

It is important for you to know your skin type and figure out a healthy nutrition plan.

Healthier and active lifestyle for 50+ people

Ah! I am nearing my 50s and already know I need a healthier lifestyle to stay active once I reach 50 and plus. I am sure lots of you guys must also have realized the importance of being healthy and active once we are 50, the main reason being our lazy and health care free lifestyles make us face health problems.
We all want to stay healthy all our age, as we grow older many changes start to occur affecting our active lifestyle, from joint problems to poor digestive system, from poor eyesight to fatigued muscles. But all these health issues can be taken care of by making slight changes in your habits and living more healthier and active lifestyle. Here are few quick things one should start doing either if one is 50 or plus.

Major changes that start affecting your health

The natural life cycle does not stop, facts of life are realities that you should understand and accept. After many researches it was very obvious that our health declines due to transitions and changes happening around us in our routine life. Being fifty means that you have spent almost half of your life, during this period many lose their parents, come across accidents, children grow up get married and move away to other cities for better jobs and a bright future and above all you reach a retired age, all these factors unconsciously start declining your health and your active lifestyle. It is very import to accept transitions in life,accept them and find a formula for healthier and active lifestyle.  There are many misconceptions about ageing. Generally people think that with ageing they will face declining health naturally, or will face some kind of disability. Maybe they will suffer from memory loss and will not be able to learn anymore, well guys all these are mental phases or should I put it like this that leaving hope and will power will eventually make all above problems can affect you more easily.  Here is a quick checklist to follow fro a healthier and active lifestyle for over 50

Be grateful for the things that are around you

Remember you are reaching a half life milestone of 50 years, many of your friends did not, so cherish and enjoy every moment of life, and be grateful to things that life has given you

Express your feelings

Don’t hide your feelings, express them more openly, they will be heard and honored.

There are things you can not change accept them

Since you are trying to achieve things all your life, few you have won and many you could not achieve don’t try hard to set your goal for those now.

Find a passion for yourself

Don’t think you have reached 50 and are a retired person who will stay home, find a passion or an activity of interest, an activity you wanted to do but the busy life routine, taking care of job, bills and other stresses kept you away from it.

Start making daily goals rather set long term goals

Try and set goals on a daily basis and don’t set long term goals now, as they will give you mental stress and affect your healthier lifestyle.  Volunteer yourself to public charity work, plan to see a movie in the evening, meet an old friend, or read three pages of the book you hated all your life. Lol .

Make a healthy tweak list of every day routine

Your healthier and active lifestyle list should include, morning walks, healthy eating habits, regular exercise plan, searching for healthier lifestyle tips.

Join a club

It will be a best idea to join a community club and make new friends and share your life experiences with them, listen to their experiences and be a support. Plan activities with them like fishing on weekends, group morning walk, window shopping together and having coffee in shopping malls, there could be no end to your fun life.

Plan a travel

Brilliant idea isn’t it guys, you can plan a travel with your family or friends, explore new places to relax and meet new people. Take lots of photographs to show your friends what fun you had.

Develop activity rituals

Try to come up with ideas of rituals for activities like taking a warm bath while listening to soothing meditation music and then lay in your bed and read a few pages of a book before soundly sleeping in your quite dark bed room. Preparing proper table for your favorite healthy meal.

Conclusion


So folk the key to a healthier and active lifestyle is to be happy and make changes in your routine life from healthy eating habits to regular exercise, from my daily activity plans to help in community work I have started these tweaks in my life and hey already I feel so different but very happy.
