Five Things To Do For Your Health This Month: March

1) What’s the easiest thing to do for you health? How about sleeping? Increased hours sleeping has been shown to reduce your risk of life-threatening problems like diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure. Sleep even reduces your chances of suffering from miseries like catching a cold, and tension headaches. Even mild sleep disturbances interfere with learning and memory. Protecting your sleep hours, and setting a firm sleep habit, will pay off big time for your health.

To show you just how important sleep is, Daylight Saving Time translates into excess deaths all across America - primarily due to traffic and motor-vehicle accidents, which are tragically more common in children/adolescents, and pedestrians. So what can you do to preserve the health of yourself, your friends and family?
