Trula — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 01:53:53 +0000

Taking Time To Heal

Trula — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 23:10:00 +0000

Since I’ve been off my feet due to my busted ankle, I have not been able to walk much, work much, or run at all. I’ve gained 3 pounds just sitting around. Oh well I will just have to watch my food intake for the next couple of weeks since I am not able to be as active during this time.

Today’s Health Goals:
Upper body stretching 15 minutes
Drink 120 oz water
One serving meals, seconds declined
No salt added to food
Raw veggies for snacks
Brush & floss after every meal
Today’s weigh-in: 155 pounds
Weight Goal: 130 pounds

The Importance of Sleep

Trula — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 17:27:00 +0000

I can’t overstate the importance of getting enough sleep. Due to some circumstances earlier this week I was up for 2 whole days and nights and by dawn of the third morning, I was a zombie. I felt awful and weary deep down in my bones. I had experience with sleep deprivation from my early college years so I knew I had to sleep the third night or else I would start hallucinating and/or trigger a breakdown in my immune system. Having no desire to get sick or start mentally spazzing out, I went to bed at a decent hour. It took me hours to settle down and actually fall asleep, to my surprise, even though I have dealt with insomnia before and knew how hard it can be to get back to sleep. I was so tired I thought that I would fall asleep right away. I guess going off my sleep routine triggered my latent insomnia.

Why is getting enough sleep so important? Physically sleep is the time when your body ‘cleans house’. Mentally sleep is the time your mind is able to process all the information taken in during the day. Sleep is extremely important to your overall health. Check this out:

Even a slight deprivation of night’s sleep can negatively affect one’s health. According to the studies conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, those who slept for six hours were later diagnosed with increase of certain chemicals in blood associated with heart diseases and diabetes.
