The Shorter Your Sleep, The Shorter Your Life Span.

The Shorter You Sleep The Shorter Your Life Span

Have you ever tried to ask yourself this question, “Do I have good health?” The answer mighty be No, mind you that you are not alone. It’s clear that poor health conditions that are happening now around the world are due to the fact that we have taken our body health statuses for granted and we have placed it as the last priority.

Having good health  it’s that all we need, therefore for us to enjoy this life it’s worth enough to have good health, a life that is subjected to poor health conditions  is not the plan of God for the human race, you may ask yourself how can I have that good health without diseases? And this should be the question for each and everyone of us as we live on this world. I would to share with you few advices about how sleeping can enhance your health.

“I doubt you are surprised by this fact, but you may be surprised by the consequences. Routinely sleeping less than six or seven hours a night demolishes your immune system, more than doubling your risk of cancer. Insufficient sleep is a key lifestyle factor determining whether or not you will develop Alzheimer’s disease. Inadequate sleep—even moderate reductions for just one week—disrupts blood sugar levels so profoundly that you would be classified as pre-diabetic. Short sleeping increases the likelihood of your coronary arteries becoming blocked and brittle, setting you on a path toward cardiovascular disease, stroke, and congestive heart failure ``''sleep disruption further contributes to all major psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, and suicidality.”

“Perhaps you have also noticed a desire to eat more when you’re tired? This is no coincidence. Too little sleep swells concentrations of a hormone that makes you feel hungry while suppressing a companion hormone that otherwise signals food satisfaction. Despite being full, you still want to eat more. It’s a proven recipe for weight gain in sleep-deficient adults and children alike. Worse, should you attempt to diet but don’t get enough sleep while doing so, it is futile, since most of the weight you lose will come from lean body mass, not fat.

Add the above health consequences up, and a proven link becomes easier to accept: “the shorter your sleep, the shorter your life span.” Now why then should you shorten your lifespan just simply by limiting the amount of sleep you take per day? God created you to live a life full of blessings to yourself and to other people as well, avoid destroying your good health for such a simple avoidable mistake.

You have 24 hours in each day, taking an average of 6-8 hours for you to sleep at night it's not a big deal, the rest of 16-18 hours in a day to do all your works they are very enough for us if we just use then effectively, the bad thing is that we don’t effectively us the day time ours therefore we even consume our night time hours for being active with a lot of tasks to do instead of resting by sleeping.

With all the consequences that happen when you don't get enough  sleep, then I see the need for every individual to take a deep sleep during the night time for the purpose of having good health. Try this simple experiment, take a an average of 6-8 hour night sleep for one week and access your daily tasks in each particular day, the other week try to get a sleep of 1 or 2 hours in each day and also access your daily tasks then figure out between the two weeks how did you accomplished your daily task.

Steam Inhalation Therapy and SARS-CoV-2

 The Current Situation Of the Global Pandemic.

The world is still in terror, world leaders from both developed and developing countries are in huge debate concerning the global health issues of the pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which cause COVID-19 disease. Despite all the efforts that have been put forth on developing strong vaccines against this monster still no effective changes that have been seen towards fighting the global pandemic. Till to date only a total of three vaccine have been declared by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) these includes; 

1. Pfizer-BioNTech, 
2. Moderna,
3. Johnson & Johnson/Janssen.

but also there still more vaccines to come which are now in last phase of clinical trials of proving their safety and efficacy these includes; 

1. AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine,
2. Novavax COVID-19 vaccine.

Ever since December 2019 when COVID-19 began many people have come up with various regimen as the prescribed cause of treatment for SARS-CoV-2 this includes the use of Steam therapy (Nyungu in Swahili).

With the use of  this mode of treatment for the disease still many people are loosing their lives, the question comes then, is the Steam Therapy treatment method effective for treatments of the complications caused by SARS-CoV-2 ? Probably the answer is No.

Many African countries are highly using this mode of treatment methods thinking that it can be effective for the treatment of corona virus disease of 2019, many scientific research and sturdies have proved that steam therapy proves failure in treatment of severe respiratory tract infections. 

For instance a sturdy done at around 2012 at various emergency hospital  departments in Netherlands for people with respiratory infection showed no benefit effects of using steam inhalation therapy but rather it lead to increased hospital admission with burn injuries resulting from steam inhalation therapy, most victims were children, and needed skin grafting more often than adults. Therefore as steam inhalation therapy has no proven benefits and the number and extent of complications of this therapy in terms of burn injuries are significant, especially in children, steam inhalation therapy should be considered a dangerous procedure not to be recommend anymore.

Way forward recommendations 

I now call upon each and every person to take possible health precaution like effectively putting on face masks when in crowd places such as in public places and in public transportation where social distancing can’t be archived, also hand sanitation by frequently washing hands before touching any part of your face, applying hand sanitizer sin places where hand washing process aren’t practiced. Observing social distancing as much you can this too can help to prevent the spread of the virus.

May God Bless You As You Strive To Take All Possible Precaution Towards Fighting This Global Pandemic.
