Sleep – Why, How and Help

In the enigmatic realm of sleep, often embodied by Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams, we find a complex interplay of modern lifestyle factors and ancient mythology. Morpheus, believed by the ancients to shape dreams, symbolises the enduring human intrigue with the mysterious and restorative aspects of sleep. Why Sleep is a universal phenomenon observed across various species, from simple creatures like jellyfish to complex organisms like humans, indicating its importance in our lives[1]. It is...

Sugar-sweetened drinks raise the risk of cardiovascular concerns, despite physical exercise

In the ever-evolving field of nutrition science, a compelling piece of research recently featured in the Current Developments in Nutrition journal meticulously combed through 20 clinical trials to decode the cardiovascular implications tied to our drink choices[1]. The drinks under the microscope included a broad spectrum from the morning ritual of tea and coffee, the mid-day boost from fruit juices and energy drinks, to the evening unwind with alcohol, and the ubiquitous presence of sugar-sweetened...

Global Challenges with Lifestyle Solutions

The global obesity epidemic is well established, with increases in obesity prevalence in most countries since the 1980s. Obesity is understood to contribute directly to incident cardiovascular risk factors, including dyslipidaemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep disorders. Obesity also leads to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD mortality independently of other cardiovascular risk factors. The development of CVD is driven, in part, by obesity-related metabolic, endocrinologic...

Sleep-Immunity-Nutrition

Over the last decades, the prevalence of sleep disorders has substantially increased globally, and it is increasingly understood to have many important health and economic-related effects.[1] A wide range of behavioural risk factors have been identified to explain, at least in part, this rise in sleep challenges. One primary driver is the evolution of the modern lifestyle which is characterised by a number of potential contributors, such as higher levels of non-resolving stress, prolonged working...

Normal, Nostalgia & the importance of Circadian Clocks

“Nostalgia” was first identified in 1688 by Swiss physician Johannes Hofer who recorded the impact of nostos (homecoming) and algia (pain) on Swiss soldiers abroad. He mused that nostalgia is part of what it means to be “modern”. No longer recognised as a medical diagnosis, this gnawing feeling of loss (often exaggerated by those who seek to politicise it) speaks to a world of rapid transformation and the severing of settled identities. It can be seen as collective or personal, reflecting a societal...

The ‘cross talk’ between sleep, nutrition, and immunity

Sleep affects various immune parameters, and is associated with reduced infection risk and can improve infection outcome, autoimmunity, and vaccination responses[1]. Adequate nutrition is an essential factor that also supports the immune system[2]. Not only as it provides fuel for rapidly metabolising immune cells, but also many micronutrients operate as regulators of the immune system, including the generation of cytokines, antibodies, and many immune-active proteins and metabolites. Many modifiable...

Cat Napping – Does it work?

Sleeping is a basic human need, like eating, drinking, and breathing. Like these other needs, sleeping is a vital part of the foundation for good health and well-being throughout your lifetime. Yet many people – perhaps even yourself find it difficult to sleep as much as you would like to and forlornly hope that a longer lie in may let you catch up! Did you know that the average Briton gets just six hours and 19 minutes sleep a night, yet back in the 1940s they would average almost 8 hours. In the...
