Do it gradually
FORGET the old assumption that you must first go red to get a suntan.
Abi Cleeve, a beauty expert and managing director of a sunprotection firm, explained that the skin turns darker in the sun as it releases melanin to protect itself.
That did not mean it was necessary to turn lobsterred first, she insisted.
and tongue muscles are more relaxed, the soft tissue can cause the airway to become blocked and cause a pause in breathing. You can’t get enough air, which can lower the oxygen level in your blood. Your brain senses your inability to breathe and briefly rouses you from sleep so that you can reopen your airway.
This pattern can repeat itself five to 30 times or more each hour, all night, impairing your ability to reach the deep, restful phases of sleep that you need.
Dr Grabowski diagnoses his patients by providing them with a small device to use during the night at home, monitoring sleeping patterns and the type of sleep apnea a patient may have. Depending on the type of sleep apnea, he will then provide therapy to treat this chronic and dangerous condition.
“As soon as the skin goes red, it’s in trauma.”
The skin appears to have tanned quickly but has burned, ensuring that you will eventually peel, she added.
To avoid this, Cleeve recommended gradually building up time spent in the sun, using a higher SPF sunblock to protect the skin while still getting a tan.
HAND strength has always been tied to general wellbeing.
A person’s grip is also a biomarker for overall health owing to its links with many other health related variables.
These include bonemineral density, nutrition, cognitive impairment, sleep problems and quality of life, according to Richard Bohannon, author of ‘An Indispensable Biomarker for Older Adults’.
An earlier 2015 study, which monitored nearly 140,000 older adults over four years, found that a frail grip was related to higher incidences of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular disease. The researchers also found that it foretold the likelihood of early death more effectively than blood pressure.
