Quick Tips and Facts
Sleep apnea symptoms
include snoring, thick necks, hypertension, being overweight, fatigue and sleepiness.
During
sleep apnea, breathing becomes shallow due to blocked airways at the back of
the throat. The lack of oxygen and buildup of carbon dioxide awakens the
sleeper and the cycle begins again. For some with sleep apnea, it is
impossible to get back to sleep. Harvard Health Publications recommends
losing weight, not sleeping on your back and the avoidance of alcohol for
non-invasive treatment of this disorder.

Should you cook your
vegetables or eat them raw? Dr. Am Joy Lanou,
nutritional director of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine notes
that fruits and vegetables are beneficial for reducing chronic disease risk,
but that this is no single rule for raw or cooked vegetables. Lycopene is more prevalent in cooked forms. However,
Dr. Lanou points out that
vegetables should not be cooked too long and/or with too much
water. Blanching is suggested to preserve both the color and nutrients of
vegetables.
