Studies have linked sleep disturbances earlier in life to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. That doesn’t mean your risk of developing dementia is definitely increased if you struggle to get a good night’s sleep; the research is still inconclusive. But developing a good sleep routine has numerous benefits for brain health.

Sleep supports your memory and concentration. It also helps to keep your moods stable and prevent depression and anxiety. When your sleep quality is poor and you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep on a regular basis, you will find you struggle to pay attention and solve everyday problems. Memories are consolidated during sleep, so when you don’t get enough deep sleep, you may find yourself struggling with recalling information and events.

It is not a big leap for researchers to consider whether poor quality sleep increases your risk for dementia later in life, or if insomnia is an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Either way, there is a link between poor quality sleep and Alzheimer’s disease.

The Link Between Poor Quality Sleep And Alzheimer’s Disease Studies have linked poor quality sleep earlier in life to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

What is the meaning of life?
It’s most likely safe to assume you have asked yourself this big and important question throughout some stage of your life, or you will at some point in the future.

Unstress Health’s CEO & Founder, Dr Ron Ehrlich offers one possible and insightful answer to this complex question…

The Number One Factor Determining Your Ability To Fulfil Your Potential How can you fulfil your potential in life? There is one thing that will determine this. We explore how to achieve it.

The evolution of the human mouth is interesting. Human teeth were originally simple conical structures, similar to those of reptiles and amphibians. As time went on we developed bicuspid teeth, teeth with two cusps. And then teeth evolved to have three cusps, the trigon, and then four cusps, the talon. Modern human teeth have five cusps.

We now have the biggest teeth in human history, an increased number of teeth, more cusps on our teeth, and the thickest enamel compared to our body size. Yet why are our jaws so small and the vast majority of people in society have teeth crowding?

Why The Size Of Your Mouth Matters If You Want A Healthy Body The size and shape of your mouth is important. If you have a narrow airway, you're more likely to experience dysfunctional breathing and poor sleep.

Research Paper: Metabolic Health
Despite the fact that we are all living longer, our overall health appears to be declining.

In Australia for example, 67% of adults are overweight or obese (an increase from 63% in 2014-15)1 and 47% of Australians have one or more chronic conditions (an increase over the last decade from 42%).

Many of these worsening chronic conditions are caused by metabolic dysfunction and our declining metabolic health.

To have good metabolic health your blood sugar, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference will all be at ideal levels and not managed with medication.

All of these factors directly relate to a person’s risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. If you score well on the five measures, you are more likely to have a high degree of health and are at a lower risk of developing serious diseases.

If metabolic health is compromised, this is known as metabolic syndrome.

Specifically, Metabolic Syndrome is characterised as having at least three of those symptoms i.e. high triglyceride levels (body fat), increased waist circumference, hypertension (blood pressure), low levels of HDL cholesterol, and elevated fasting glucose.

Metabolic syndrome is linked to a higher risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases.

Breathing happens, mostly subconsciously, twenty-four hours per day, every single day; from the moment you are born until the day you die.

Did you know how you breathe has an impact on the shape of your face, your quality of sleep and your overall health?

Nose breathing is a very different process from mouth breathing. When you breathe through your nose, your mouth is closed and the air you inhale passes through your nasal cavities, passes the sinuses, down your throat and into your lungs. If you breathe through your mouth, your nose and all the structures within it are bypassed.

For something you do all day, every day, it is important to pay attention to how you breathe. The health benefits you receive from breathing properly are significant and can be life-changing.

Why Nose Breathing Is Better Than Mouth Breathing Breathing happens, mostly subconsciously, twenty-four hours per day. Here are some of the many reasons nose breathing is better than mouth breathing.
