How Stress can cause a Stroke or Heart Attack.

Stress, which is a feeling of being overwhelmed by mental or emotional pressure, is a very common issue.
stress hormones are the same ones that trigger your body’s “fight or flight” response. Your heart races, your breath quickens, and your muscles ready for action. This response was designed to protect your body in an emergency by preparing you to react quickly. But when the stress response keeps firing, day after day, it could put your health at serious risk.
Yet if your stress response doesn’t stop firing, and these stress levels stay elevated far longer than is necessary for survival, it can take a toll on your health. Chronic stress can cause a variety of symptoms and affect your overall well-being. Symptoms of chronic stress include:

• irritability

• anxiety

• depression

• headaches

• insomnia

As a result, frequent or chronic stress will make your heart work too hard for too long. When your blood pressure rises, so do your risks for having a stroke or heart attack.

How much sleep do you need at 40?

Here's the optimal sleep duration for people over 40!!

Sleep duration, psychiatric disorders and dementias are closely interconnected in older adults. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms and brain structural changes are unknown.
The optimal duration of sleep changes according to the periods of life; children and teenagers need more sleep than adults and the elderly. approximately 7 h as the optimal sleep duration, and genetic and cognitive factors, brain structure, and mental health as key measures.
>brain health , both from a structural and functional point of view. The optimal sleep time would be seven hours (7hrs) for this age group.

The brain regions most significantly underlying this interconnection included the precentral cortex, the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and the hippocampus. Longitudinal analysis revealed that both insufficient and excessive sleep duration were significantly associated with a decline in cognition on follow up. Furthermore, mediation analysis and structural equation modeling identified a unified model incorporating polygenic risk score (PRS), sleep, brain structure, cognition and mental health.

SCALENE LINKS- neck pain is a common complaint in today’s society consumed with electronics and phones. Postural strain of the spine is a very real phenomenon, but the consequences are paid in the adaptations of the fascia and it’s LINKS.
From the moment we enter a vertical posture, both standing and seated, our brain organizes muscular strategies to keep our eyes on the horizon and our neck upright. This is accomplished by controlling the head in three planes of motion, perhaps most importantly the frontal plane. The scalene muscle group is well positioned to do this and these tissues work constantly to fine tune the neck in space. The anterior (light green), middle (purple) and posterior (blue) are all commonly tight and their fascia densified from overuse and postural stain. The deep cervical fascia (mint green) is continuous with the scalene and attaches to the clavicle and in this fascia forms a window for the brachial plexus’ path to the arm.
Do you know this specific fascia and how it’s tension can effect the position of the neck-scapula LINK and the consequences for the nerves? If not check out our in-depth presentations

Prepatellar bursitis, commonly known as "housemaid's knee" and "clergyman's knee," involves swelling of 1 or more of the bursae at the front of the knee.

Prepatellar bursitis is often caused by pressure from constant kneeling. Plumbers, roofers, carpet layers, coal miners, and gardeners are at greater risk for developing the condition. A direct blow to the front of knee can also cause prepatellar bursitis

Bursitis is often mistaken for arthritis because joint pain is a symptom of both conditions. There are various types of arthritis that cause joint inflammation, including the autoimmune response of rheumatoid arthritis or the breaking down of cartilage in the joints in degenerative arthritis.

With knee bursitis, you may experience:

Swelling on the front of the knee.
Redness on the front of the knee.
Pain when you push with your fingers on the front of the knee.
Pain when kneeling.
Stiffness in the knee joint, or difficulty straightening or bending the knee

Your physiotherapist will work with you to design a specific treatment program that will speed your recovery, including exercises and treatments that you can do at home. Physical therapy will help you return to your normal lifestyle and activities. The time it takes to heal the condition varies, but results can be achieved in 2 to 8 weeks or less, when a proper swelling management, stretching, and strengthening program is implemented.

Today I want to share with you: "13 Foods To Eat Improve Your Immune System".

1) Red Bell Pepper - Red peppers are necessary for my diet for immune system-boosting benefits. They have about twice the amount of vitamin C as most fruits and vegetables, including the most famous immune-boosters, oranges. Vitamin C is really important for immunity because it can help reduce the length and severity of colds. It also helps your body make collagen, which keeps your skin healthy, and your skin is your first line of defense against germs.

2) Sweet Potatoes - "Sweet potatoes contain more than three times the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin A, a good source of vitamin B6, plus some magnesium and vitamin C—an antioxidant."

3) Blueberries - "One serving (a handful or a cup) of blueberries provides 16 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C. Not only is vitamin C a key nutrient that helps the immune system work properly, it's also an antioxidant that helps to protect cells from damage, and it's needed for the body to make collagen, a protein required to help wounds heal.

4) Yogurt and Kefir - "Yogurt and kefir are great ways to strengthen the immune system by providing the body with helpful probiotics, a set of live bacteria and yeasts that are beneficial to improving digestive health. The immune system is the main link between our gut bacteria and how it influences our health, so having a healthy digestive system is crucial. There are a lot of different strains of probiotics, but the most common is lactobacillus, which is found in yogurt and kefir."

5) Shiitake Mushrooms - "Studies show that shiitake mushrooms reduce inflammation and boost the immune system. In Chinese medicine, shiitake mushrooms have been used for many years as an immune booster, being a rich source of copper, selenium, zinc, and vitamins B and D–all vital for a healthy immune system. Shiitake mushrooms take their rightful place as an important food that boosts immunity."

6) Sunflower Seeds - "Sunflower seeds contain 35 percent of the daily value for vitamin E, which works as an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and may improve immune function. The seeds also contain protein and magnesium."

7) Asparagus - "Asparagus is a great source of prebiotic fiber, which is the indigestible plant fiber that feeds the probiotics in your gut. Eating prebiotic fiber helps keep your gut and immune system healthy since 70 percent of your immune system lives in the gut."

8) Green Tea - Green tea contains an amino acid L-theanine, most notably known for positive effects on brain function, which also is thought to enhance immune function."

9) Garlic - "Garlic contains the enzyme alliinase, which converts alliin to allicin, a beneficial sulfur compound that is believed to boost immune function and fend off the common cold and flu. The allicin is activated by chopping or crushing and letting stand for 10 minutes and is most bioavailable when consumed raw.

10) Broccoli - "A chemical called sulforaphane is found in broccoli. This chemical triggers certain immune cells with antioxidant genes and enzymes to fight free radicals and prevent sicknesses."

11) Pumpkin Seeds - "Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, which is a mineral that is well-established for boosting immunity, helping the immune system fight off bacteria and viruses. It also decreases oxidative stress and the generation of inflammatory cytokines. There is even research that finds that a functional food made from pumpkin seeds was shown to reduce social anxiety and insomnia—due to the zinc and tryptophan-boosting serotonin—so we get those added benefits, too. This serotonin boost also helps us feel happier and calmer in the winter months, when winter blues are common."

12) Turmeric - "Turmeric contains an anti-inflammatory called curcumin, which stimulates the activation of main fighting cells of the immune system. These are called T-cells."

13) H**p Seeds - "Another important aspect of immune health is zinc, since it helps fight against infection. Zinc isn't in that many foods, but just 2 tablespoons of h**p seeds contain about 20% of your daily needs. Go ahead and add some to your smoothie
