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.
