TheAlieness

It is tempting to get by on less sleep, fuel up on caffeine and get on with our lives. Unfortunately when we are sleep deprived we can think we are doing a better job at things than we are. It is not until we are well rested that we notice how different things feel.

We need to re-learn how to switch off our minds and allow them to peacefully rest. The truth is modern insomnia is not our faults but rather a consequence of the society we live in and our inability to switch off or focus.

Office workers are interrupted every three minutes, so at best we have a three-minute attention span, and 62% of us are addicted to email.

A recent study at the University of California calculated that we are bombarded with 34 gigabytes of information a day, including roughly 100,000 words (a figure that has more than doubled in the past 30 years).

Both of these quotes are pretty astounding even shocking, We need to learn to regain focus and calm the mind through focusing on one thing at a time and this will allow our minds to switch off and get some sleep. We are being interrupted so often by our blackberries, iPhones and constant streams of chatter the internet provides that we find it hard to get back to the task on hand. It is well known it takes about 10-15 minutes to get back to something after an interruption. If we could learn how to focus on one task at a time everything would be better. Our Food, Work, Friends, and Family to name a few. Here are a few ideas……

1. Exercise – Both Physical and Mental exercise can help focus, remember the calm state of mind after a long run or swim? Or ever notice how mind chatter stops during a stimulating movie or solving something.

2. Limit Internet Time - If you have a blackberry constantly alerting you set it to alert less often, check your e-mail once every hour or even less. Also try not to keep too many windows or tabs open at a time as this can be distracting & overwhelming.

3. Rest - Short naps can re-focus your mind, especially mid afternoon. Partaking in things you enjoy also count as rest like reading and other hobbies. Also look into forms of meditation.

4. Get outdoors - If you happen to work in a frantic environment make sure you spend your lunch breaks or any breaks you have in a less busy environment whether it be outdoors or a quiet coffee shop. Of course in the summer take lunch in the park or anywhere green.

5. Have a To Do list - This will help you know where you stand throughout the day and give a sense of accomplishment once you have done all the stuff listed. Do things one at a time.

Once you start practicing these things you will notice that the compulsion to be connected will slowly dissolve – you will probably find your sleep will improve as your mind is less shocked by not having a constant feed of stimuli. If you are still having trouble nodding off try some of these tips -

  • We have heard it before but try to establish a regular sleeping pattern, although going to bed before midnight is preferable find what works for you. Just keep it regular.
  • Stop watching TV before falling to sleep, read a book or magazine instead. The bright lights and noise of a TV trigger adrenaline and cortisol release.
  • Cut out the late afternoon coffee and have your last caffeinated beverage at lunch time.
  • When you wake up, get up don’t roll around in bed delaying it. This will help establish a regular wake up time.

Sleep is one of the great joys of life as is an idle mind. Don’t let modern technology and society rob you of good rest. Remember sleep deprivation was once used as a torture technique. Learn to focus and get good sleep back…..

Natural Remedies for Hay Fever

April 24th, 2010 Johnny No comments

You know I’m constantly on the hunt for good fitness content. Good fitness is something we all should seek out everyday. Today, I discovered a very good article dealing with fitness in a interesting way. Definitely be sure to check out this content and let me know how you feel about it. This article is called Natural Remedies for Hay Fever and you can find the full article published below for your convenience:

As someone who has suffered from hay-fever in the past I know how horrible the symptoms can be and how being hit by hay-fever can stop us enjoying the opening months of summer. Here are some of the best natural remedies and workarounds for hay-fever sufferers.

Honey

This is something that needs to be done before the allergy season but works extremely well. It is as simple as eating some natural raw honey regularly throughout the year. By doing this you will build immunity and stop your body over-reacting to the pollen released in summer. It is important that the honey is raw and is better if locally sourced.

Raw honey is basically unprocessed stuff (not heat treated or blended) which still contains the Pollen, Propolis, Honeycomb and Live Enzymes one of which is Amylase which helps digest starchy carbohydrates so it is a great addition to oatmeal or bread. unfortunately most honey found in the supermarket is not raw and has been processed to look nice and clean in their bottles- Sadly is lacks all the good stuff. So you will probably have t checkout your local markets or Natural food stores to get hold of some raw honey, it costs a bit more but is really worth it and will last you a long time if you use it sparingly.

Herbal Remedies

There are also some herbs which have been proven to lessen the bodies response to allergens. Here are two of the best.

Nettle - Research shows that nettle has a positive effect on the bodies defense mechanisms through its ability to enhance the bodies defence mechanisms and reduce chemicals produced during an immune response namely “prostaglandins” this does not mean it will Cure hay-fever but rather reduce the bodies response to pollen. The best way to get your nettle fix is via herbal tea, nettle also has a potent blood cleansing effect, try a nettle and honey tea.

Butterbur-  Which is a plant that looks a bit like Rhubarb, has the ability to soothe allergies as well as things like migraines. Yu can find it in teas or as a herbal extract in pills and their have been many recent studies showing its efficiency in treating Hay-Fever in particular. Well worth a try especially along with Nettle.

Other Bits

Onions- Have been shown to help boost the immune system and this can help with hay-fever, Remeber Hay-Fever is a result of an over-reacting immune system. The reason onions can help is that they contain the chemical quercetin. Plus you can add them to all kinds of foods I like to eat them on salad or just with sliced up tomatoes. Definitely worth a try.

Line the Nose-In the past I have had success in dealing with pollen by lining my nose with some kind of cream or vaseline. This will stop the pollen from getting into the body through the nose and a good layer in the morning usually keeps you going until lunch, just wash out and re-apply if need be. This is especially useful if you are spending a day outdoors or int he park when you know there is going to be a high pollen count.

Vitamin C- There is also evidence to show that high doses of Vitamin C can help with hey-fever. I personally found that taking 1-2grams of Vitamin C daily to help a lot when dealing with bad bouts of hay-fever. Zinc is also worth a try when it comes to Vitamin supplements try 25-50mg per day of a citrate form.

Luckily for me my hay-fever has cleared up in the last few years and although I do still get the odd bout it is not nearly as bad as it once was (I would be housebound) I think a large part of this comes down to a good diet and avoiding sugar and overly refined foods. I would also like to know if readers have any good advice for dealing with allergies…….
