Staying Healthy Starts with a Good Night Sleep
In our every day busy lives, many of us may not put much focus on how much sleep we get. Many people feel that they get enough sleep as long as they don’t feel tired the next day. The fact is, sleep is very important to our overall health and not getting enough sleep can have detrimental effects on our bodies.
Sometimes you may feel that there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done that you need to finish. Many times, we may cut off a few hours of sleep just so that we have more time to get things done. Even though you may not feel the effects immediately, sleep deprivation can cause harm to your body down the road.
Research has shown that getting less than 8 hours of sleep a night can have detrimental effects on our overall health. Not getting enough sleep puts you at a higher risk of developing obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and a weakened immune system. When your immune system is weak, it can not fight off viruses and germs that you may come in contact with, which means that you may become sick more often.

What is Hypoglycemia?
Normal blood glucose levels should be at 70mg/dl or higher. In a person with hypoglycemia, these counts are often drastically lower.
