The Importance Of Sleep And Kidney Disease

Sleep. Most of us wish we had more of it. Yet it’s still. So. Elusive. And while yawning and feeling tired all the time can be a bummer, a lack of zzz’s can actually have a big impact on your health. Experts say you should aim to get between seven and eight hours of shut-eye each night, but is it really that important? Short answer? Yes, and that’s a big YES! Inadequate sleep (<7 hours), especially on a regular basis, doesn’t just make you drowsy, it can also affect short-term outcomes such as work or cognitive performance and increase cardiometabolic risk factors through effects on body mass, appetite, and energy expenditure. Insufficient sleep can also contribute to more serious long-term outcomes including cardiovascular disease (CVD), which may ultimately lead to death. Unfortunately, there’s a lot that can interfere with natural sleep patterns. People are now sleeping less than they did in the past, and sleep quality has decreased as well.

For years and years, the internet has buzzed with the word “superfoods.” Superfoods are amazing victuals with strong ideas behind them: for one, they have the power to change lives; while on another level, they’re also thought to be “better” than most other foods. But really, a lot of foods may fall in the superfood category. They might even be just basic, everyday foods that scientists and researchers have unearthed new discoveries about—discoveries specifically about how these foods can transform health in astounding ways. Pomegranates, a popular superfood, for example, are rich in antioxidants. They protect against inflammation as well as free radical damage and promote healthy aging. Grapes (and grape seed) are rich in quercetin which may reduce the chances of cancer. Ancient grains are rich in fiber to boost gut health, and tomatoes are rich in lycopene for heart health…so on and so forth. THE UNSUNG HEROES OF SUPERFOODS Yes, superfoods are great. The ways they impact health are l

YIN DEFICIENCY & RASPBERRY, KUDZU,GINSENG, & GOJI BERRY

One of the most fundamental aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the concept of yin and yang. They are opposite but complementary forces that are essential in balance for optimal health. Too much or too little of either one can create problems in the body. The literal translation of yin is “the shady side of the hill.” It is the cooling, moistening, restful, and feminine aspect of health. It is also too often neglected, though, in modern life. WHAT IS YIN DEFICIENCY? Most people live hectic, high-stress lifestyles. However, a lack of rest can starve the yin side of life. To compensate, a deficiency in yin can develop. The body tried to make up for a busy lifestyle with fake energy. It is referred to as an “empty heat” by TCM practitioners because it lacks the cooling aspects of yin. A yin deficiency can cause a wide variety of issues, including: Heart palpitations Hormonal imbalance Insomnia Anxiety Anger Poor memory Restlessness Dry cough Constipation Lack of desire Althou

Want to know how to nourish your kidneys?

Image
In modern medicine, the kidneys are described as, “two bean-shaped organs that extract waste from blood, balance body fluids, form urine and aid in other important functions。 Although these actions are imperative to the proper functioning of the body, it is a limited perspective about the full power of the kidneys and why it’s essential to nourish them. We don’t often think much about our kidney’s health until they don’t function so well anymore. Or, until they stop functioning altogether as is the case with kidney failure which can be fatal. Supporting the kidneys is crucial to the quality of your life. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the kidneys store our “life-force” or our jing essence. And, once that is depleted, deficiency sets in limiting the quality and duration of your life. According to ancient wisdom, the Kidney and Bladder (KD/BL) systems work together and are responsible for the water element in the body. On the physical level, water is essential for the circula

Traditional Chinese cooking is interesting and surprising because it is based on the philosophical principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Many centuries ago, foodstuffs were described and classified in China. According to this knowledge, each product has the following characteristics: Character. Taste. Entry into the channel. Replenishment and reduction. Product nature Food can cool or warm the energy of the body. It is clear that heated food warms, and food from the refrigerator cools the body. However, regardless of the temperature at which the dish is served, food has its own energy. In Chinese nutritional teaching, food has "four characters" or "four energies": cold cool (refreshing) warm hot There is also an intermediate concept - neutral (average).
