DON'T LOOSE SLEEP
Along with diet and exercise, the quality and quantity of sleep a person gets greatly influences their quality of life.
Physiological Effects of Sleep Although sleep is still not completely understood, studies demonstrate that it is an active physiological state during which the body repairs itself and performs a variety of important functions. Studies have shown that sleep affects:
Sleep and Type 2 Diabetes Studies show that sleep deprivation may increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Physiological Effects of Sleep Although sleep is still not completely understood, studies demonstrate that it is an active physiological state during which the body repairs itself and performs a variety of important functions. Studies have shown that sleep affects:
- Learning and Memory Sleep is important for consolidation of new information and memory formation.
- Growth and Development Secretion of growth hormones and prolactin is increased during sleep.
- Blood Pressure Chronic short sleep duration increases the risk of hypertension in adults.
- Stress and Metabolism Levels of cortisol and thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating protein) decrease during sleep.
- Appetite Management
- Sleep affects levels of ghrelin and leptin, hormones that influence feelings of hunger and satiety.
Consequences of Sleep Deprivation Individuals exhibiting normal sleep patterns will generally sleep 7-8 hours per night. Numerous studies indicate that individuals who routinely experience fewer than 6 hours of sleep per night, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, often suffer physiological and emotional consequences, including:
- Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
- Obesity
- Depression
- Memory loss
Sleep and Type 2 Diabetes Studies show that sleep deprivation may increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
- Several epidemiological studies report a correlation between short sleep duration and higher mean BMI and/or obesity.1
- Studies of young, healthy males show that sleep deprivation over as few as two nights results in decreased glucose tolerance and increased appetite for carbohydrate-rich foods.2,3 The observed increase in hunger, if translated into actual ingestion of the desired foods, would correlate to an excess of 350-500 kcal/day.
- Longer term studies suggest that chronic sleep deprivation may result in reduced insulin sensitivity.1
- Population studies indicate that chronic short sleep duration is correlated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, after adjusting for potential confounding effects including age, sex, body mass index and waist circumference.4,5,6

Sleep Disordered breathing (SDB)
Awareness of sleep apnea is low. We believe around 90% of people with OSA remain undiagnosed and untreated.

- Is a general term for a sleep disorder with apneas1 and hypopneas2. These cause sleep arousals3 that may reduce the quality of sleep and blood oxygen levels
- Affects up to 20% adults4, making it as widespread as type 2 diabetes or asthma
- The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
- Occurs when the upper airway closes but efforts to breathe continue.
- Upper airway obstruction is usually caused by:
- Lack of muscle tone during sleep
- Excess tissue in the upper airway
- anatomical abnormalities in the upper airway and jaw
- Upper airway obstruction is usually caused by:
- Is predominant among:
- Middle aged men
- Obese people
- Smokers
- High alcohol consumers
- Users of muscle relaxing or pain killing drugs
- Is present in patients with the following conditions:
- 80% drug resistant hypertension
- 60% stroke
- 50% congestive heart failure (CHF)
- > 50% type 2 diabetes

LEG HEALTH
Looking after your legs is a crucial part of securing a healthier future. Many leg conditions are caused by poor circulation in the leg veins. These veins have the uphill task of taking blood back to the heart and as such can weaken as gravity takes its toll over time. Happily, even serious leg problems respond well to treatment. If you are at all concerned about any leg conditions, contact a healthcare professional. Venous flow Good blood flow is vital to keeping your skin and tissue healthy. Tiny valves inside our veins open and close to ensure blood is moving around the body in the right direction. If these valves become damaged, this can drastically reduce their ability to stop the blood flowing backwards. This backflow of blood is what leads to conditions such as swelling or varicose veins.
What does this look like? 1. Movement causes muscles in the legs and feet to contract and relax. 2. When the muscles contract valves inside the veins open causing blood to flow towards the heart. 3. When the muscles relax the valves close preventing back flow of the blood. This information is not intended as a substitute for the advice of a health care professional. Consumers should rely on the judgement of a health care professional for specific conditions.

LEG CONDITION IDENTIFIER
Spider and superficial veins Symptoms A web of thread like veins visible on the surface of the skin, which are not painful.
Causes The pressure of blood flowing backwards widens the blood vessels, making them visible to the eye below the skin.
Advice Spider veins are not serious, but can be the first sign your leg veins are not always working efficiently. Consider wearing graduated compression hosiery to prevent more serious conditions.
Treatment Keep active and maintain a healthy weight. As compression hosiery assists blood flow up the legs and prevents backflow and pooling, consider wearing Activa Class 1 British Standard compression hosiery - available in plain colours, ribbed and patterned socks.
