#Sleep is vital to your well-being. Here are 13 tips: Stick to a sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day—even on the weekends. #Exercise is great, but not too late in the day. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes on most days but not later than 2–3 hours before your bedtime. Avoid #caffeine and #nicotine. The stimulating effects of caffeine in #coffee, colas, certain teas, and #chocolate can take as long as 8 hours to wear off fully. Nicotine is also a stimulant. Avoid #alcoholicdrinks before bed. A “nightcap” might help you get to sleep, but alcohol keeps you in the lighter stages of sleep. Avoid large meals and beverages late at night. A large meal can cause indigestion that interferes with sleep. Drinking can cause you to awaken frequently to urinate. Avoid medicines that delay or disrupt your sleep, if possible. Some commonly prescribed heart, blood pressure, or asthma medications, as well as some over-the-counter and #herbal remedies for coughs, colds, or allergies, can disrupt sleep patterns. Don’t take #naps after 3 p.m. Naps can boost your brain power, but late afternoon naps can make it harder to fall asleep at night. Also, keep naps to under an hour. #Relax before bed. Take time to unwind. A relaxing activity, such as reading or listening to music, should be part of your bedtime ritual. Take a #hotbath before bed. The drop in body temperature after the bath may help you feel sleepy, and the bath can help you relax. Have a good sleeping environment. Get rid of anything in your bedroom that might distract you from sleep, like noises, bright lights, an uncom- fortable bed, or a TV or computer in the bedroom. Have the right #sunlight exposure. Daylight is key to regulating daily sleep patterns. Try to get outside in natural sunlight for at least 30 minutes each day. Don’t lie in bed awake. If you find yourself still awake after staying in bed for more than 20 minuteutes, get up and do some utes, get up and do some relaxing activity until you feel sleepy. See a doctor if you continue to have trouble sleeping. Source: NIH #BettermentThroughAppliedKnowledge #📠 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxOFx_5BlWH/?igshid=1t8w2ddtixzby

The #pancreas has two main jobs in the body: 1. To make juices that help #digest (break down) food. 2. To make hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, that help control #bloodsugarlevels . Both of these #hormones help the body use and store the energy it gets from food. The digestive juices are made by exocrine pancreas cells and the hormones are made by endocrine pancreas cells. About 95% of pancreatic cancers begin in exocrine cells. #Pancreaticcancer is a disease in which malignant ( #cancer ) cells form in the tissues of the pancreas. #Smoking and health history can affect the risk of pancreatic cancer. Signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer include #jaundice , pain, and weight loss. Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose early but tests that examine the pancreas are used to diagnose and stage pancreatic cancer. #infographic #straightfacts #stats #Health #BettermentThroughAppliedKnowledge Source: @nationalcancerinstitute https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdfPC_BCLg/?igshid=dxb1gzvs8hdp

Children surrounded by high amounts of #greenspace in childhood were up to 55% less likely to develop a #mentaldisorder – even when taking into account known risk factors such as #socioeconomic status, urbanization and a family history of mental health problems. Based on satellite data from 1985 to 2013, the Danish researchers mapped the presence of green space around the childhood homes of almost one million Danes. Noise, #airpollution , infections and poor socioeconomic conditions increase the risk of developing a mental disorder, according to the study. But researchers found more greenspace in the local area creates greater social cohesion and increases people’s physical activity levels. This can improve children’s #cognitivedevelopment and impact upon their #mentalhealth . . . . . #childrenshealth #sdoh #climatechange #BettermentThroughAppliedKnowledge #data #infographic #staightfacts #stats https://www.instagram.com/p/B7TscLEhvIe/?igshid=f2mk687odp7k

Happy #worldbreastfeedingweek #Breastfeeding is vitally important to the #health of mothers and their infants.  #Breastmilk contains the best nutrients to help infants grow and to protect against common childhood illnesses and infections. And research shows that allergic diseases, asthma, obesity, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome ( #SIDS ), and some types of cancer may occur less often in mothers who have breastfed their babies. Most #mothers want to breastfeed but stop early due to a lack of support. More than two-thirds of breastfeeding mothers have already begun using formula by the time their infants are three months old. By six months more than half of mothers have given up on breastfeeding, and mothers who breastfeed one-year-olds or toddlers are a rarity in our society. #baby #womenshealth #sdoh #BettermentThroughAppliedKnowledge Source: @hhsgov https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ovHeVJivn/?igshid=18grhctromr70
