DASH diet plan… It requires participants to consume 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day along with three servings of dairy (or a calcium source) and whole grains, etc. to get in plenty of magnesium, potassium, and calcium.  This could offer many benefits as well as high blood pressure reduction, but it might prove to be difficult to follow this plan and stick to it.

In obstructive sleep apnea, lying supine or in your back can increase the occurrence of this condition. The muscles and tissues of the upper respiratory airways tend to relax in this position thereby increasing the tendency of blockage or obstruction. Experts advise that people with sleep apnea lie on their sides to prevent the natural tendency of the airways to become blocked. Comfortable sleeping materials like latex mattress, air mattress or memory foam mattress are best suited for this to obtain comfort and thereby better sleep.

Sleep deprivation is dangerous since you are not fully refreshed making you not being fully alert during daytime. Because of that, risks during driving or operating machinery lurks every time.
