Sleep, or the lack of it, makes us twice as likely to die early of a heart attack.
British researchers studied 10,000 government workers for 17 years. They found that those who cut their hours of sleep from 7 hours nightly to 5 or less increased risk of death from all causes and more than double the risk of death from cardiovascular death. The findings highlight pressures of modern living, says
This brings us to our usual pillars of good health: eat early and often, only natural foods in their natural shape, or frozen versions; get out into the fresh air and walk, walk, walk, or onto your new exercise machine and row, row, row your boat gently merrily to good sweast, lights out early, in bed by 10, no TV in your bedroom, never fall asleep in front of your TV or your internal melatonin is depleted and can’t rebuild in time for you to have a good night’s sleep. You can see how your unhealthy Catch-22 habits come right around back at you like a boomerang, and you don’t sleep. And when you don’t sleep enough-you need 8 hours sleep nightly to be Perfect- you wake up cranky, don’t eat properly to begin the day, eat non nutritious junkitos and stay wired on coffee, grabbing something fast and not what could take you five minutes to put together from your own newer better kitchen and fridge freezer with ice maker, lots of pure filtered water ice cubes in your pure fruit drinks and foods. Ah, such a difference that would make.
So, it is your bus, and if you are driving it without proper diet, exercise and sleep, imagine if you also had family or kids on board with you, depending on you to get yourself there healthy, so you can have many another joyful time together. But for you to show up, you might need to review and change. And have more fun, really. And be around for all those who love and adore you, to go on doing just that. And rejoicing at seeing a healthier you. Be an inspiration, not a desparation. Aunt Agatha and I’ll wave if we walk by, see you on your home gym, sipping your new fridge’s filtered water system with its pure ice cubes, this for pomegrante juice. Here’s to our good long sleeps- and life.
So cut down the glare, Blair, turn off the TV, Dee, get out and walk, Jock, or hop on your home machine, Jean, work up a sweat, Jet, make yourself go, Flo, get a real tired bod, Rod, so at night your head drops, Pops, then out with the light, Dwight, dream of magic moon night. No fight. Kiss good night. Sleep tight, sleep eight. Wake bright, feel Great. Shower, shave, and eat. Go eat some raw meat. Get em, gator. See you later.
