Maintaining Your Health - Get A Good Night's Sleep
Many individuals do not get enough sleep, but what they do not know is that they are risking their health. In order to keep your body healthy you need to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. Most people do not get enough sleep and when they are tired during the day they turn to caffeine.
In order to stay alert during the day people will turn to caffeine and sugary products for energy. This coupled with the lack of sleep does even more damage to your system. New scientific studies have concluded that consuming too much caffeine and sugar can have detrimental effects on your health.
While sugary foods may give you a short boost of energy this alertness does not last for long. Once the sugar has worn off you will feel even worse than when you got up. Your reaction time will be much slower and you will feel even more tired. Instead you should eat a combination of carbohydrates and protein. A great snack is a combination of apples and peanut butter.
In order to stop feeling sleepy most individuals will turn to consuming coffee. Coffee has a lot of caffeine which is the point to drinking coffee. The caffeine from the coffee actually stays in your system much longer. So it will still be in your system after the affects of the coffee has worn off. If you can't fall asleep at night then you may want to cut back on the coffee. If you feel you still need some caffeine then you should try soda and chocolate, as they still have caffeine just not as much.
Even those that drink decaffeinated coffee are not safe because this type of coffee still has caffeine in it. The caffeine in decaffeinated coffee is equivalent to drinking a 12 ox coke. Decaffeinated coffee is a good option for individuals that are not sensitive to caffeine.
So to be healthy you need to try to cut the caffeine and get a full night's sleep. If you have trouble falling asleep then exercise can help make you tired. Additionally try cutting down your coffee consumption and get a good night's rest. - 17273
