Who else loves sleep 😴? 1. Research suggests THC can reduce the amount of REM sleep a person gets. REM sleep is a stage of sleep that is important for cognitive functions, memory consolidation, and overall brain health. 2. Sleeping on your left side can help keep the junction between the stomach and esophagus, known as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), above the level of stomach acid. This can help prevent acid from flowing back into the esophagus. 3. Sleep deprivation can impair alertness, decision-making, reaction time, and increase risk of "micro sleeping" which are all not ideal while driving. 4. Important to diagnose the underlying cause of restless leg syndrome, discuss with your Doctor. 5. There are a number of reasons eating too close to bedtime can disprupt sleep.

Read caption ⬇️ Knowing what’s “normal” (and why) can help you spot problems early and stay on top of your health. 1. Blood Pressure: 120/80 mmHg This is considered optimal. The top number (systolic) shows pressure when your heart beats. The bottom (diastolic) is when it rests. Consistently high = risk of stroke or heart disease. Low = possible dizziness, fainting, or poor oxygen flow. 2. Resting Heart Rate: 60–100 bpm Most healthy adults range from 55–85 bpm. Trained athletes may go lower. Consistently high or low rates could signal a problem. 3. Body Temperature: Around 98.6°F (37°C) It’s not a fixed number! Your temp naturally rises in the evening and falls overnight. Oral readings are the standard, but underarm is lower and rectal is higher. A persistent low-grade fever or unexplained chills can mean your immune system is at work. 4. BMI: 18.5–24.9 It estimates body fat using height and weight. But it doesn’t account for muscle or age. A very muscular person might be labeled “overweight” even with low body fat. Better indicators: waist size, strength, and lifestyle. 5. Blood Sugar (Fasting): 70–99 mg/dL Read caption ⬇️ This reflects how well your body handles sugar. Above 100 may suggest insulin resistance or prediabetes. Below 70 can cause shakiness, confusion, or fatigue—especially if you skip meals. 6. Water: 8 cups/day A general rule, but needs vary. Body size, activity, environment, illness, and pregnancy can all increase your needs. 7. Oxygen Saturation: Above 95% This measures how much oxygen your blood is carrying. If it dips below 90%, especially with shortness of breath, it could indicate respiratory or circulatory problems. You can check it with a pulse oximeter. 8. Cholesterol: Under 200 mg/dL (Total) This includes LDL (bad), HDL (good), and triglycerides. Higher levels raise your heart disease risk. #health #medical #healthtips
