GOOD SLEEP ➡️ GOOD HEALTH

We all want it, we all need it, but many of us aren't getting enough of it!

💤 Tips for Quality Sleep 💤

1️⃣ CONSISTENT SCHEDULE:
Establish a regular sleep-wake cycle by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your body's internal clock.

2️⃣ PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT:
Make your bedroom a haven for sleep. Keep it cool, dark, and quiet. Consider using earplugs, eye masks, or white noise machines to block out distractions.

Invest in a comfortable mattress, pillows, and bedding that suit your preferences. Ensure proper room ventilation and address any issues that affect your sleep, such as noise or uncomfortable temperatures.

3️⃣ LIMIT SCREEN TIME: The blue light emitted by electronic devices can interfere with sleep. Avoid screens (phones, tablets, TVs) for at least an hour before bedtime. Instead, engage in relaxing activities like reading or listening to soothing music.

4️⃣ BEDTIME ROUTINE:
Develop a calming routine before sleep to signal your body that it's time to unwind. Try activities like taking a warm bath, practicing meditation or deep breathing, or writing in a journal.

5️⃣ WATCH YOUR INTAKE:
Avoid heavy meals, caffeine (esp after 2 pm), and alcohol close to bedtime. Opt for light, sleep-friendly snacks if needed. Stay hydrated but limit fluid intake before bed to avoid disruptions for bathroom visits.

6️⃣ EXERCISE:
Engage in moderate physical activity regularly, but finish your workout at least a few hours before bedtime. Exercise promotes better sleep quality but can increase alertness if done too close to bedtime.

7️⃣ MANAGE STRESS:
Practice stress-reduction techniques like yoga, mindfulness, or relaxation exercises. Consider creating a to-do list before bed to clear your mind of worries and responsibilities.

8️⃣ LIMIT NAPS:
If you have trouble sleeping at night, avoid long naps during the day. If you need to nap, keep it short (around 20-30 min

9️⃣ TALK TO YOUR DOC:

You may want to check labs for anything that could effect your energy/mood/sleep, or check for SLEEP APNEA (esp if you SNORE).

Remember, PRIORITIZE your sleep 😴 so you can wake up fresh and energized!

Know the difference! Just because something has a picture of a farmer or plant on it doesn't mean it's "healthy".

Although the organic industry regulation isn't perfect, there are still noticeable benefits for certain organic products.

Like G.I. Joe said, "Knowing is half the battle!"

Did you know that if you had 40 more years to live, that's only 14,600 days?  Or just over 2000 weeks?  Think about that. It doesn't sound like a lot to me.

If I told you that you had to spend $1 per day to stay alive, but I only gave you a bank account with $14,600, wouldn't you feel like that's not enough?  And if you smoke, stress, sleep poorly, and don't eat right or exercise, then I would take more money out of that bank account--wouldn't that change your perspective a little bit?

The average live expectancy in the U.S. is 76 years-- and declining.  For a lot of us, we have less than 14,000 days left on this earth.

I'm not saying this to sound like a downer.  I'm saying this because we often forget how truly short life is, how many days we let slip by just waiting for the week to turn into the weekend, only to repeat the cycle over and over again. 

I get it.  We just want to get a few moments of relaxation amidst all the chaos.  But I stopped wishing for time to move faster a long time ago, because time and health are two things we can never get back once they're gone.

So take the time to appreciate something about today. Call your parents. Hug your friends. Show your spouse or significant other some extra affection.  Cut out the nonsense in your life as best as you can.  Like I heard in a Modest Most song, "the years go fast, but the days go so slow."

How will you spend the next 14,000 (?) days?

It was a a pleasure to meet Christy with C&M healthy snacks at a recent Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce event. In a time where unhealthy foods are at an all-time high, it's great to see products like this healthy snack vending machine trying to create a balance.

You can see what this company is about at cmhealthysnacks.com.

Best of luck in your endeavors, Christy!

For all you FitBitters and steppers!

Most people aim to get 10k steps a day. But according to a recent study:

"Taking 8,000 steps or more for JUST 1 or 2 DAYS a week was linked to a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, according to a study of about 3,000 adults."

So even if you only have a couple days a week to get moving, even just a small amount of walking can have a huge impact!

From a recent JAMA article:

"The glorification of profit, salve lucrum, is harming both care and health. Health care should not be an engine for excessive private gain."

Corporate greed in is becoming uncontrollable, and patients are the ones suffering. This is one big reason why doctors and patients are gravitating towards practices.

Hello! I'm Dr. Omar Hussain] with Pathway Direct Primary Care. I am a board-certified and doctor.

I believe quality should be affordable and accessible-- two things that are getting harder to find in today's profit-driven medical system.

My goal is to bring back the doctor-patient relationship by providing unrushed, personalized, and comprehensive health care for you and your family. Instead of treating patients like numbers (like many doctor offices do), I want to actually spend time with patients and help them achieve their health goals. That's why I started Pathway Direct Primary Care.

If you are looking for an attentive for you or someone in your family, check out the link in the bio for more information about Pathway Direct Primary Care.
