Sleep is a crucial health issue - but it is often ignored by both individuals and the medical community. Sleep has been shown to substantially impact almost every major health condition including Diabetes, Cancer, Obesity, Heart Disease, and Mental Health. It's time for sleep to take it's rightful place in keeping us health. This presentation gives some of the cold, hard facts behind why sleep is such a silent killer.
Sleep is essential for optimal functioning as it allows the brain to catalog experiences, prime memory, and regulate hormones. Getting less than 7-8 hours of sleep per night can negatively impact concentration, creativity, mood and productivity. Different stages of the sleep cycle, including deep sleep and REM sleep, are important for physical renewal, learning, memory processing and higher level thought. Lack of sufficient sleep, especially REM sleep, makes tasks like concentrating, multitasking and understanding subtleties more difficult. Managers can get more from their sleep by avoiding caffeine late in the day, creating a restful sleep environment, and taking short 10-20 minute power naps if needed.
This document discusses mental health and hygiene. It begins by defining mental health as an optimum level of emotional and behavioral adjustment. Mental hygiene is related to developing and maintaining behaviors and skills to sustain good mental health. The document outlines some behaviors that indicate poor mental health, such as irritability and withdrawal, and behaviors that promote good health, including proper nutrition, exercise, and positive thinking. It also discusses strategies for effective time management like prioritizing tasks and having a flexible schedule.
Mental health refers to an individual's emotional, psychological, and social well-being, and is more than just the absence of mental illness. It exists on a continuum and includes an ability to enjoy life and realize one's potential. While mental health professionals rely on diagnostic criteria for mental illnesses, some experts argue for a public health model that views mental health as a separate concept aimed at wellness rather than only treating illness.
Sleep is an essential activity that is important for physical and mental health. Not getting enough sleep can accumulate into a "sleep debt" that has negative health consequences. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule and getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night can help avoid sleep debt and its effects, which include impaired focus, mood issues, and increased disease risk. Paying back sleep debt requires getting more sleep than usual, such as going to bed earlier, rather than sleeping longer all at once.
The document discusses breaking free from emotional eating by managing emotions without using food. It describes how emotions and eating are often linked, with food being used for nourishment, comfort, acceptance, reward, and as a way to deal with stress, anxiety, boredom, and other feelings. This can lead to a cycle of emotional eating as a habit. It provides tips for recognizing and addressing emotional eating, such as having alternative coping strategies, getting support, and being mindful of triggers. Practical eating habits are suggested, like eating mindfully and avoiding cravings. The document emphasizes replacing beliefs that fuel emotional eating with more positive beliefs.
This document discusses fueling the body with proper nutrition and physical activity. It explains that the six basic nutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water - provide energy and help build tissue. Carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals are obtained from foods in grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy and protein groups. The document provides recommendations for daily servings from each food group and benefits of eating a variety of healthy foods. It also stresses the importance of physical activity for health and recommends age-appropriate amounts of activity.
Badminton and table tennis were discussed in this document. For badminton, the history and equipment such as shuttlecocks and rackets were explained. Playing techniques like smashes and spins were also covered. For table tennis, the objective of the game, basic skills, equipment, rules and benefits were summarized. Nutrition topics included the components of a balanced diet according to the food guide pyramid and guidelines for Filipinos. Healthy body image and eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating were also discussed.

Sleep is important for our overall health and well-being. While we sleep, our brains are active and help consolidate memories from the day. There are two main stages of sleep - NREM and REM sleep. NREM sleep has four stages and helps the body repair and grow tissue. REM sleep provides energy to the brain and is when we experience dreams. Not getting enough quality sleep can negatively impact our cognitive functioning, learning, memory and physical skills.

Sampling error; the need for sampling distributionsazmatmengal
This document discusses the sampling distribution of the sample mean. It explains that sampling distributions describe the distribution of a statistic when calculated from different samples. Specifically, the sampling distribution of the sample mean shows the distribution of possible mean values that could result from randomly sampling from a population. The mean of the sampling distribution equals the population mean, while its standard deviation decreases with larger sample sizes.
The document discusses principles of developing energy fitness through training. It describes using overload, recovery, adaptation and progression to increase the body's ability to produce ATP. Key aspects of training include using intensity measured by speed, heart rate or perceived exertion to stress different energy systems. Training occurs in zones from easy to performance to maximal. The pyramid model shows how to structure training over time from an aerobic base to peaking for performance.
Examples of Type of Errors in Survey ResearchLena Argosino
The document describes different types of errors that can occur in survey research, including sampling error, systematic error, and measurement error. Sampling error can include only surveying a subset of the population that may not be fully representative. Systematic error includes issues with how the sample was selected, such as only surveying people listed in phone books. Measurement error involves inaccuracies that occur during data collection and processing, such as interviewer bias, poorly worded questions, incorrect data entry, and non-response bias where certain groups are less likely to participate. Addressing these various sources of error is important for conducting valid survey research.
This document provides an introduction to sports, including definitions and classifications. It discusses individual sports like table tennis and badminton, covering technical skills. Team sports like basketball, softball, and volleyball are also overviewed. The document contrasts individual/dual sports with team sports. It also covers technical and tactical skills, teaching tactics, and planning practice games. Health-related and skill-related fitness components are defined. Considerations for choosing a sport and safety measures are presented.
The document outlines the key aspects of a Health-Optimizing Physical Education (H.O.P.E) program, including proper etiquette and safety when using facilities, optimizing energy systems through nutrition, assessing health-related fitness, and designing personal fitness plans. Guidelines are provided for setting fitness goals based on training principles, observing safety protocols, organizing fitness events, and developing a structured personal fitness plan with goals and progress tracking.
Energy systems introduction AS Physical Education 2013Kerry Harrison
The document discusses energy systems in the body. It states that ATP is the only immediately usable energy source, and there is enough stored in the body for 2-3 seconds of exercise. It then describes the three energy systems - the ATP-PC system, the lactic acid system, and the aerobic system. The intensity and duration of exercise dictates which system is predominantly used. The ATP-PC system is for very high intensity exercise of short duration, the lactic acid system is for high intensity exercise of up to 90 seconds, and the aerobic system is for lower to moderate intensity exercise of longer duration.
A cultural group's guidelines on acceptable foods and eating behaviors create a sense of identity and belonging, as religious reasons also affect food choices through prohibitions like pork in Judaism and Islam. Our eating habits are influenced from childhood by our parents' food preparation and nutrition knowledge, as well as our personal preferences, education, health conditions, lifestyle, economics, and local environment.
The document discusses the three main energy systems - phosphate, anaerobic glycolysis, and aerobic - that provide energy for muscular activity through ATP production. The phosphate system provides energy for powerful bursts lasting up to 10 seconds. Anaerobic glycolysis then takes over for high intensity efforts from 10 seconds to a minute by breaking down glycogen without oxygen. Aerobic metabolism is the primary provider of energy for submaximal exertion lasting over a minute, using fat and carbohydrates with oxygen. The relative contribution of each system depends on the intensity and duration of physical activity.
The document discusses health, illness, and nutrition across the lifespan. It covers key topics like children's health issues like poverty and recommended immunizations. For adolescents, it discusses rising health risks from behaviors like substance use. Health challenges increase with age, such as disabilities, dementia, and nutrition issues in adulthood and aging. Maintaining exercise and a healthy lifestyle is important for physical and mental well-being at all stages of life.
This document provides an overview of life-span development and the key concepts involved in studying it. It discusses the life-span perspective, the importance of studying development across the entire human lifespan from conception to late adulthood. Several major theories of development are also summarized, including psychoanalytic, cognitive, behavioral, and ecological approaches. Research methods used to study development such as observation, surveys, and experiments are also briefly outlined.
The document discusses mental health, hygiene, and defense mechanisms. It defines mental health as successful mental functioning and relationships. Mental hygiene involves maintaining skills for good mental health. Defense mechanisms are ways people cope with stress, though they don't always solve problems effectively. The document provides examples of disorders, strategies for better mental health, and behaviors that support wellness according to Ayurveda. It also lists and explains 12 common defense mechanisms.
This document discusses Ouachita Athletics at the university. It provides a brief history of sports programs starting in 1907, including football, basketball, baseball, women's basketball, track, and tennis. It notes Ouachita Athletics competes in Division II. The document outlines problems with low media coverage and fan base for Ouachita sports. It highlights some benefits of the athletics program to campus life, including events like Homecoming week and intramurals, as well as contributions to diversity and community fundraising.
This document discusses different types of errors that can occur in survey research. It defines sampling error as occurring when a sample is not truly representative of the population, and notes that sampling error decreases with more homogeneous populations and is eliminated with a census. Total error has two components: sampling error and non-sampling error. Non-sampling error includes errors from non-response, response errors, and researcher errors like incorrectly defining the target population or using a flawed sampling frame. Response errors occur when respondents provide inaccurate answers or their responses are misrecorded or misanalyzed. Researcher errors can also stem from using surrogate information instead of desired data or having measurement errors in question wording or response recording and analysis.
This document provides an overview of various sleep disorders including:
1. Dyssomnias are primary sleep disorders involving changes in sleep amount, quality or timing including insomnia, hypersomnia, and narcolepsy.
2. Parasomnias are disorders where sleep physiology or behaviors are affected, such as nightmares.
3. Circadian rhythm sleep disorders result from a mismatch between sleep-wake patterns and environmental demands like jet lag or shift work.
4. Breathing-related sleep disorders interrupt sleep through breathing problems like sleep apnea.
This document discusses different types of sports, a brief history of why humans participate in sports, the most popular sports worldwide, and health benefits of playing sports. It lists several websites as sources of additional information on the history of sports, Olympic track star Usain Bolt, basketball player Lebron James, the 2012 London Olympics, and a wiki with an overview of different types of sports.
Badminton originated in the 1860s in British India among British military officers and became an official sport in England in the 1890s. It later gained popularity worldwide and became an Olympic sport in 1992. It is played on a court divided by a net with a shuttlecock. The objective is to hit the shuttlecock over the net so the opponent cannot return it. It can be played as singles or doubles, with scoring and techniques varying between the two formats but focused on hitting the shuttlecock back and forth over the net.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Sleep hygiene and mental health - the relationship between disturbed sleep and suicide
1. Sleep Hygiene and Mental Health
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISTURBED SLEEP AND SUICIDE
Get your free CPAP Assessment at https://CPAPtotalCare.com
2. The battle against suicide took a step backward
between 2011 and 2012. According to the CDC, while 8
of the 10 most common causes of death in the US
showed statistically significant reductions in the death
rate over the span of merely 1 year, one cause of death
among the top 10 showed a significant increase—
suicide.1 More than 40,000 Americans will complete
suicide this year. Clearly more needs to be understood
and done to reverse these trends.
3. All psychiatrists know the risk factors for
suicide. Some are unmodifiable, such as
advancing age, male sex, and being white.
Others are potentially modifiable, such as
depression, drug abuse, hopelessness, and
social isolation. Among the newest modifiable
risk factors to join the list are insomnia and
nightmares.
5. What explains these associations,
especially when 2 seemingly opposite
phenomena such as insomnia and
hypersomnia are linked to suicide? One
explanation is the simple concept of
“burden of illness.” It is well known that a
chronic medical illness is a risk factor for
suicide, so perhaps the burden of living
with insomnia or hypersomnia becomes
the “straw that breaks the camel’s back.”
6. The strength of the association between sleep
disturbance and suicide would suggest that
many suicide deaths happen at night, yet the
opposite seems to be the case.
Very few suicide deaths occur during the
nighttime hours, followed by a sharp rise in
suicide death rates through the morning hours
and a decline again toward evening.
Therefore, if sleep disturbance is related to
suicide, it may be through the effects of sleep
disturbance on daytime psychological or
physiological function.
7. Both insomnia and hypersomnia are associated
with impairments in cognitive
functioning. Patients with insomnia have trouble
in problem solving, and deficits in problem
solving have been described in persons who have
survived suicide attempts.
In this scenario, the person who is dealt a major
setback, such as a broken relationship or job loss,
is unable to produce a solution to the problem if
he or she has insomnia; this leads to the worst
possible solution. Hypersomnia, like insomnia, is
also associated with deficits in cognition.
