(Cleveland Plain Dealer 7/23/13)
Everyone knows that all-nighters for work or school can leave you tired and haggard looking the next day. Evidence is mounting that a good night’s sleep is also essential for our overall health. Poor sleep can put you at risk for high blood pressure, weight gain, metabolic diseases such as diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders. It seems now too, that your skin suffers as well. Research showed that poor sleepers regardless of their sun exposure, smoking, etc. showed more fine lines, loss of elasticity, loss of moisture in the skin, and the skin healed faster in good sleepers. Scientists feel that the poor sleepers’ skin produced and held on to inflammation longer than the good sleepers’ skin, and thus led to accelerated signs of aging.
SOME OLD FASHIONED ADVICE THAT STILL HOLDS TRUE- STAY HEALTHY, HAPPY, AND BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT BY TAKING CARE OF YOUR MIND AND BODY. EAT WELL, EXERCISE AND TAKE TIME IN THIS BUSY WORLD WE LIVE IN TO REST YOUR MIND AND BODY. YES, LACK OF SLEEP HURTS OUR SKIN, BUT IT ALSO HARMS US MORE THAN JUST SKIN DEEP!
