Researchers at Johns Hopkins are reporting what is believed to be the most conclusive evidence to date that inadequate levels of vitamin D, obtained from milk, fortified cereals and exposure to sunlight, lead to substantially increased risk of death.More Chronic Disease According to the CDC,As chronic diseases have assumed an increasingly common role in premature death and illness, interest in the role of sleep in the development and management of chronic diseases has grown. Notably, insufficient sleep has been linked to the development and management of a number of chronic diseases and conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression. Sleep Apnea Snoring
may be more than just an annoying habit – it may be a sign of sleep
apnea. Persons with sleep apnea
characteristically make periodic gasping or “snorting” noises,
during which their sleep is momentarily interrupted. Those with sleep
apnea may also experience excessive daytime sleepiness, as their sleep
is commonly interrupted and may not feel restorative. Treatment of sleep
apnea is dependent on its cause. If other medical problems are present,
such as congestive heart failure or nasal obstruction, sleep apnea may
resolve with treatment of these conditions. Gentle air pressure administered
during sleep (typically in the form of a nasal continuous positive airway
pressure device) may also be effective in the treatment of sleep apnea.
As interruption of regular breathing or obstruction of the airway of
the individual during sleep can pose serious complications for the health
of the individual, symptoms of sleep apnea should be taken seriously. Source: Reite M, Ruddy J, Nagel K. Concise guide to evaluation and management of sleep disorders (3rd ed). Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2002. New Federal Law Mandates

Climate Change More Did You Know? Did you know that there are over 100 new conventional coal power plants proposed for construction in the United States? Many Americans think coal power is a bygone way of life, but in fact, it still provides about half of our nation's electricity! Coal power is America's single biggest source of heat-trapping emissions, contributing more to global warming than all the country's automobiles, SUVs, trucks, buses, planes, and ships combined! The Union of Concerned Scientists is working to build a demand for clean alternatives to dirty coal. Think about wind power. Ask your political leaders about it today! Contact your representative now.
