No More Sleep can lead to No More New Brain Cells

Missing out on rest can harm brain cell making.

Missing out on sleep may cause the brain to stop producing new cells show a new study.

A team from Princeton University found a lack of sleep affected the hippocampus, a brain region involved in forming memories. The research in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a stress hormone causes the effect. UK expert said it would be interesting to see if too little rather than no sleep had the same consequence.

The researchers compared animals that were deprived of sleep for 72 hours with others who were not.

They found those who missed out on rest had higher levels of the stress hormone corticosterone.

They also produced significantly fewer new brain cells in a particular region of the hippocampus.

When the animals’ corticosterone levels were kept at a constant level, the reduction in cell proliferation was abolished.

How Would You Spend the Last Day of Your Life?

What happens if you found out that the next 24 hours will be the last of your life, how would you live it?

Maybe:
- Would you spend the rest of your life having meaningful moments with yourself and the people around you?
- Or maybe would you eat great food, drink, dance or listen good music.
- Or to you want to make sex with your love?

I believe that people should live everyday of their life like it is their last. To live in a world where people take nothing for granted would be a great place. You never know who or what you’ll encounter next, and that is why you have to be ready for the unexpected.

So: Live Life Like It`s Your Last Day!

Ultimate Medical Invention: Miraculous Pill That Can Replace Muscle Exercises

A pill that makes the body fit without the need for exercise has been hailed by scientists following amazing test results. The drug fools the muscles into thinking they have worked out long and hard, which means they rapidly burn fat and boost fitness. It has been hailed as the couch potato’s dream, giving the benefits of exercise without leaving the sofa.

Experts say it could combat ills from obesity to muscle-wasting diseases. Even the frailty of old age could be eased by the drug’s muscle-building powers, the U.S. scientists believe.

Researcher Ronald Evans, a world-leading biologist, said: “We have exercise in a pill.”

But its arrival on pharmacy shelves is believed to be several years away.

The Connection Between Sleep Loss and Weight Gain

Physiologic studies suggest that sleep constraint has metabolic effects that predispose to weight gain. The authors investigated the association between self-reported usual sleep duration and subsequent weight gain in the Nurses’ Health Study.

These associations remained significant after inclusion of important covariates and were not affected by adjustment for physical activity or dietary consumption. These data suggest that short sleep duration is associated with a modest increase in future weight gain and incident obesity.

Sleep, Hormones and Weight Gain

Leptin and Grehlin are hormones that help the body control appetite and weight gain and loss. Leptin suppresses appetite, while Grehlin increases appetite and may prevent a person from losing weight.

How to Take a Power Nap for More Productivity

If you not have time for a full-out siesta but even naps as short as 20 minutes can make a big difference in your energy level, ability to concentrate, and general outlook. Scientists have long researched the positive effects of napping, and now there is growing evidence to suggest that power napping can increase productivity levels and even uplift your spirit.
A powerful way to combat a daily fatigue is by learning how to effectively power nap during the day to recharge and go into round two with full energy.

If you want to take a nap at work, I suggest trying a few of the following tips:

- Announce your nap to yourself and your colleagues

- Get comfortable

- Collect your equipment

- Eat right

- Control your nap environment

- Don’t feel guilty.

- Be prepared for grogginess when you wake up.

- Wake up on time

What Does Your Hair Color Say About Your Personality?

Hair color is more than just an element of outward appearance – every shade has a distinct personality. As it turns out, certain personality traits do seem to be associated with hair color and people do sometimes make judgments based on a person’s hair color. Whether we look it or not hair color and personality may be interrelated. What is your hair saying about you?

1. Brunette Hair Color

2. Blonde Hair Color

3. Red Hair Color

4. White Hair Color

While hair color and personality don’t seem to have a strong correlation, it is difficult to determine these personality with the exception of intelligence. It may just be that people who have a certain hair color through chance or by choice tend to adopt the stereotype. This just lends credence to the idea that most people aspire to what other people expect them to be.

How Can I Improve My Good Sleep Hygiene?

Good “sleep hygiene” means everything that helps maintain your health by keeping your mind and body rested and strong. The idea of sleep hygiene is like a dental hygiene. Both rely on nightly or daily rituals for consistently good hygiene. Just as you get in the habit of brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly, you must implement a nightly routine of healthy habits to improve your sleep hygiene. Follow these sleep hygiene tips to help assure a good night’s sleep.

Wait until you are sleepy before going to bed
