Sleep Deprivation Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

The Journal of the AMA (American Medical Association) has stated that persons who only sleep 4 hours per night for just one week produced 1/2 the anti-flu antibodies compared to subjects who achieved 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours of sleep each evening.  Ladies...want to look good?  Get some sleep.  Sleep deprivation is a major cause for flabby elasticity of skin, lack of moisture and turgor of the skin, and exaggerates fine lines and wrinkles.  Less than 5 hours of sleep per evening can lead to that 'spare tire' around your middle....not very attractive either.  Let's not forget that when we're groggy during the day, we tend to trip, fall and bump into objects moreso than if we were completely alert.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Get some sleep.  Turn off the television and the noise in your head.  If you have a problem with sleep, call or email the office today and make an appointment.  Acupuncture and herbal formulas are well-known to successfully treat all types of insomnia.
