Sleep Deprivation affects your Heart – Here’s how

17/12/2018

Most often, we are guilty of ignoring the health of the most hardworking organ in the body – the heart. This muscular organ is the size of a clenched fist and pumps blood to all parts of the body. It beats about 2.5 million times over the average lifetime and carries oxygen, hormones, and nutrients to the rest of the body. It is a task that the heart takes on happily provided you look after it well. The key to a healthy heart is a healthy lifestyle.

There is, however, one essential behavioral aspect that plays a major role in heart health. It is sleep. In this piece, we explore how the heart gets affected by sleep and the ways you can avoid them.

Sleep and CHD

Sleep deprivation increases the hazards of the Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) in both men and women. In a Whitehall II study conducted with 10,300 participants, it was concluded that those who experienced disturbances in sleep saw a rise in the risk of CHD. The findings saw that disturbances in the physiological processes during sleep are the cause of the increased risk. It is crucial for the body to experience the restorative and healing properties that are associated with sleep. Lack of adequate levels of sleep can increase cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose concentrations which are all contributing factors for Coronary Heart Disease.

Sleep and Hypertension

During sleep, the body regulates the stress hormones, drops heart rates and works towards keeping the nervous system healthy. The blood pressure during the night reduces as the body begins its restorative process. Lack of this dipping of nocturnal BP is an independent factor of cardiovascular illness. In a survey conducted on 4,810 middle-aged Americans by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, it was found that short sleep duration led to a 60% higher risk of hypertension over a later year follow up. The causes of sleep deprivation can be stress, physical ailments, mental illness, an uncomfortable sleep setting and so on. It is, therefore, crucial to be able to isolate these causes and control it before it causes life-threatening damage to the heart.

Sleep and Blood Sugar

A vicious cycle where sleep affects the blood sugar levels and the sugar levels affect sleep put you in an unhealthy, deadly entrapment. The chronic stress on the body caused by sleep deprivation not only affects the mood but also builds resistance to insulin. This, in turn, increases the blood sugar levels, putting you at risk of diabetes. Researches at Boston University School of Medicine found those people who slept less than six hours at night were at a higher risk of experiencing blood sugar complications compared to people who slept eight hours at night.

Over time, high blood sugar can cause damage to blood vessels putting you at a higher risk of developing heart disease. Heart disease and stroke are common causes of death among adults. Therefore, it is important for people to begin practicing a relaxing bedtime ritual, regular sleep schedules, ensure they get adequate sleep, and move toward a healthier life.

Sleep and Obesity

The obesity epidemic has been on a rise, paving the way for serious health complications. The epidemic has been growing parallel to complaints of inadequate sleep. Sleep not only restores our body but is required for its efficient functioning. Lack of sleep brings about changes in appetite-regulating hormones, leading the body to get hungry and consume more food. Leptin is the hormone produced by fat cells that send signals to the brain when it needs energy. Lack of sleep decreases the levels of leptin in the body, causing the brain to believe it needs food for energy. The normal reaction is to grab a bite to eat.

Ghrelin is a hormone saddled with the task of regulating appetite and stimulating hunger. With sleep deprivation, the levels of ghrelin increase making the body hungry. Prolonged sleep deprivation and irregular hormonal changes lead to obesity. The association between obesity and heart disease is multifaceted. It leads to diabetes, cholesterol abnormalities, and hypertension. It also leads to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Obesity increases the risk of atrial fibrillation that may lead to stroke or heart failure.

Sleep and Recovery from heart issues

One of the common consequences of suffering from heart disease is the inability to get adequate sleep at night. More than half of stroke survivors complain about difficulty in sleeping. It is important for people to work toward getting abundant sleep to help the brain recover. Lack of sleep can reduce the rate of recovery, lead to memory problems and cause depression. Rest is an important part of recovery and stroke survivors need plenty of it.

One way to overcome sleep problems and get on the path of recovery is to take mindful steps toward relaxation. Improving your sleeping environment is one way to promote restful sleep. The Dreamcloud mattress setup is a great way to create a comfortably luxurious sleeping environment. You can also visit the carpet and rug store to create a warm, inviting space in the bedroom. Another way is to implement strict sleeping schedules and partaking in meditation sessions. The faster the brain relaxes, the faster the recovery would be.

Ten tips to sleep better:

Create a cool dark environment to fall asleep faster. Use fans and blackout curtains for optimal sleeping conditions.
Exercise regularly and increase physical wellness. Regular exercise helps you sleep faster and better through the night.
Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and drugs in your lifestyle. These unhealthy substances create disruptive sleeping patterns, increasing the risk of serious illnesses.
Use the bedroom only to sleep. Remove phones, tablets, television sets and other devices from the bedroom.
Use comfortable sleeping positions that foster good rest.
Visit the doctor for yearly health check-ups. It is important to regularly evaluate how healthy you are and incorporate ways to improve it.
Use meditation to clear your mind and reduce stress. Stress and anxiety are one of the biggest killers of adequate sleep.
Reduce intake of caffeine before sleep.
Use white noise machines to drown out audible distractions.

Practice healthy sleeping rituals. It can be a warm bath or even a glass of relaxing chamomile tea. Healthy sleeping rituals promote long-term improvement in sleeping behavior.

Aftermarket Car Subwoofers: To Use or Not to Use?

17/12/2018

Boom-boom-boom, gotta get that.

In all probability, the Black Eyed Peas were singing about subwoofers.

A subwoofer is a type of loudspeaker which is dedicated to playing low-range frequencies. In other words, a subwoofer is a dedicated bass-playing box.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

What is bass, you ask? Pronounced like “base”, it is best described as the deep “thump” that you hear in, say, hip-hop music or music with heavy usage of percussion instruments. Bass, however, isn’t limited to those kinds of music and contributes to the overall “richness” of regular music as well.

So, bass makes your music “thump” and a subwoofer increases bass.

But do you need a subwoofer? With all things considered, a subwoofer, despite the tradeoffs, is highly recommended for your car’s audio setup.

While they are tacky to install and slightly costly, installing them is a good idea, which is why you should check out these car subs of 15 inches.

The advantages of subwoofers:

A subwoofer might make you rediscover your music

A properly-tuned subwoofer might make audible some inaudible parts of your favorite song. Regular car speakers are not designed to amplify low frequencies (say, below 80Hz), resulting in your listening experience turning out to be entirely different from what your artist intended it to be.

The remedy, a subwoofer, is designed to reproduce those certain frequencies only and, when properly tuned, can make you experience your music as if you’re listening to it for the first time.

Subwoofers reduce the demand from your regular speakers

Since your regular speakers are no longer tasked with playing the difficult low-range frequencies along with the mid- and high-range frequencies, they can play the mid- and high-range frequencies better.

Conversely, this means better reproduction of the low-range frequencies as well, since they have their standalone speaker.

Subwoofers reduce distortion

A properly-tuned and well-integrated subwoofer goes a long way to reducing distortion and lets you play your music as loud as you want.

What is distortion, you ask?

Ah, distortion is what makes you hear noise when you want to listen to music. It is the cracking, the hissing or any other unwanted sound which detracts the experience of listening to music in your car.

Subwoofers reduce distortion by reducing the main speakers’ load and playing bass more effectively.

Subwoofers allow for flexibility with placement

Often, when regular full-range speakers and placed and positioned, there’s some compromise to be made. The position ideal for, say, tonality, may not be so for bass and the user has to settle for a position which balances all the aspects, essentially, a compromise.

With subwoofers, no such compromise has to be made (at least as far as bass is concerned). If you place and tune them correctly, they will deliver the best bass that your setup (and the Black Eyed Peas) are capable of providing.

The disadvantages of subwoofers:

Space

Depending on how spacious your car’s interior is, a subwoofer can impact the practicality of your car. If you plan on lugging tons of luggage in your car, you might have to make another trip if you mount a subwoofer.

To complicate matters further, subwoofers are usually accompanied by amplifiers, which take up yet more space.

Complexity

A subwoofer is not a plug-and-play piece of equipment; far from it.

Before a subwoofer can even begin to be tuned, it has to be appropriately mounted. Proper mounting is essential to ensure it does not impede with accessibility and delivers good bass at the same time.

Further, we get to the wiring. Once the subwoofer is mounted, it has to be appropriately routed throughout the car (usually across the length of the car) and involves resolving a web of wiring.

Lastly, a subwoofer has to be tuned. Tuning involves configuring the subwoofer to play only low-frequency music. Improper or no tuning may result in distortion and audio quality might be worse than original.

Cost

All that rich, thumping aural goodness does not come cheap. It’s not uncommon for a good subwoofer setup to cost upwards of 100 dollars.

However, it is to be noted that the money spent on a subwoofer is well-spent as it delivers the maximum gain in sound quality per dollar than any other upgrade. Even if you’re not a hardcore vehicle audio enthusiast, you’d appreciate the substantial increase in sound quality.

Conclusion

Subwoofers are one of the best upgrades you can buy for your vehicle’s audio setup and go a long way towards improving sound quality. They reduce distortion and increase the intensity of the low-frequency notes while leaving the main speakers to deal with the mid- and high-frequency notes more effectively.

LG and Samsung will launch their 5G phones at MWC 2019

17/12/2018

In recent days, we have witnessed a speculation that Samsung will host a special event before the February conference. This is in contrast to this last suggestion.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Korea Herald carries a report, citing an industry official who provides the new information. The official says LG plans to introduce 5G phones in May in Korea and the US, but things have now changed: “The company’s new leadership has changed the plan recently to not be a late customer on the 5G market.”

It is still expected that the new Samsung phone will be Galaxy S10, but have at least two different versions (maybe three) each with several variants, including various 4G and 5G options.

It is also worth noting that even if the 5G phones are published in the MWC, they may not be available until a few months later when the 5G networks are implemented.

Samsung Galaxy S10 To Features 12GB Of Ram and 1TB Storage ?

15/12/2018

The Samsung Galaxy S10 could push the limits of what was thought to be possible for phones coming next year, which could leave the iPhone and even Apple laptops to lag behind.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

A new report from Hong Kong’s GF Securities claims Galaxy S10 will come with a memory of 12GB of RAM. This capacity is more than any other phone and that most laptops can offer.

This big leap into RAM means super speeds like never before. This is likely to be a way to enable high-speed processing of large amounts of data that 5G will bring. Moreover, this capacity will enable the functioning of features of added and virtual reality.

The source also claims that storage will increase to a massive memory capacity of 1TB. Effectively, this is putting a powerful computer in your pocket and can replace the need for a particular laptop in the near future.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S10 at the beginning of 2019.

How to choose the best Real Estate Agent to buy a house

15/12/2018

Currently, there are large numbers of people who have a Real Estate license and with it the permission to represent you in the purchase or sale of your home. However, as in all professions, having a license (or title) does not necessarily make it the right Agent to whom you can trust the most important transaction for you and with whom you have full security. That, with experience and expertise, will advise you and help you get the best business.

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″]

Buying “on your own” or with a Real Estate Agent who does not have the knowledge or the necessary preparation for this process can make it not rewarding and satisfying to become a nightmare. Also, always keep in mind that as a buyer the only payments you must make are related to the price of housing and closing costs, in which the Realtor commission is NOT included, so this payment is NOT on your own.

How to choose the best Realtor for you? Ask him these three simple questions and make it easier to make your decision:

In what area or type of property do you specialize?

When you go to buy a home, there is a lot more to take into account besides if you have stainless steel appliances or the location of the main room. The property itself is only one part. The rest has to do with the environment, public or private schools in the area, taxes; even the crime rate, the demand for rent (in case you buy it for this purpose), among others. The Realtor with whom you decide to buy or sell must know the area that is showing you, and so not only avoid undesirable surprises in the future, but to offer more information, you ensure the value of your acquisition.

On what variables do you base to determine the best price to bid?

When you have already reviewed and / or visited the properties that came closest to what you are looking for and you have the “chosen one”, it is time to present the offer to the owner of the home. This goes beyond sending an email to the seller and saying “I want to buy your house. Here is what I offer for her. “To get to the point of the contract, with the data and conditions of the purchase, it is very important that you have done the corresponding analysis before, even if you are buying the property to live it. Nobody wants to pay more than what a product is worth, in this case your home, and without this analysis in which are involved data such as the prices of those sold in the last 3, 6 and 12 months, income of the last months (in the case that you want to generate income), how much you pay for taxes, how long you have the unit in the market,

Do you need a prequalification letter from the bank to start looking?

The answer must be a strong yes. If the Realtor you are interviewing tells you that for now it is not necessary, it is going to waste valuable time. You can also take help from an expert like Larry Weltman. For over a decade Larry Weltman Toronto has advised the real estate industry on various fronts where he has the expertise and where agents have needs.

The iPhone 11 will take the Flexible Screen from Samsung Galaxy X

14/12/2018

The new Apple iPhone 11 may come with a very distinctive display, as it may be the same screen used by the folding Samsung Galaxy X. But does this mean that the iPhone 11 will be a fordable smartphone ?

[td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_2″ tdc_css=””]

The key issue here is that industry sources have noted that Apple may buy Samsung OLED Flexible screens. The flexible and foldable screen are not the same.

While the screen may be able to fold, it does not necessarily have to be used for this purpose, it can simply be a way to provide a better palette on the edges for a smaller frame or curved corners.

What suggests the news is that Apple intends to make a difference in the design of the screen for the next big step forward on iPhone 11.

The main feature of this screen, in addition to flexibility, is the inclusion of touch sensitivity. This means that the touch sensors are built on the screen so that another layer is not required.

Seeking components that provide more efficient use of space, it seems like Apple is working on improving other areas. This may mean a larger battery, a larger camera sensor or more cameras, or even a new sensor completely.

The new component can also represent a cost savings for Apple. So this can mean a more affordable OLED iPhone.
