Nutrition is the sum total of all the interactions between an organism and the food it

consumes. It is what a person eats and how the body uses it.

Sleep is a basic human need. It is a universal biological process common to all


people. It was considered a state of unconsciousness. It has come to considered an
altered state of consciousness in which the individuals perception of and reaction to
the environment.

Rest- a pattern of natural, periodic suspension of consciousness that provides


adequate rest, sustains a desired lifestyle, and can be strengthened

Give clinical signs of good nutrition,

1. Healthy Cholesterol Levels

Because of genetics, some people can have more fats in their diet than others, so getting your
cholesterol tested by a doctor gives you the confidence that your diet is right for you.

2. Blood Pressure Level

Many items in your diet, such as salt, alcohol, and potassium, can cause a rise or fall in blood
pressure. You cannot detect unhealthy blood pressure entirely by the way you feel, but
an annual physical will tell you if you need adjustments in your diet.

3. Healthy Weight

Being within a few pounds of the recommended height/weight charts lets you know that you are
getting the right number of calories from the foods you eat. One of the biggest mistakes dieters
make is not eating enough. If you live an active lifestyle, you cannot ignore the fact your body needs
the right amount of calories to fuel your activities.

4. Healthy Skin and Shiny Hair

Healthy fats in your diet from foods like nuts, avocados, and olives give the skin and hair a healthy
glow and shine, while lean proteins like chicken and turkey assist the body in cell growth and repair.

5. Clear Vision
A diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, instead of processed foods, keeps the eyes healthy. Foods
with high sugar content cause swelling in the eye and impairs vision. Good nutrition also reduces
your risk for developing AMD (age-related macular degeneration) that can lead to blindness.

6. Mental Alertness

The brain needs fuel to think. It burns about 10% of a calorie every minute. If you deprive your body
of food by skipping meals, or not eating enough calories, you will feel physically tired and mentally
foggy. Your ability to respond quickly and precisely in everyday situations will be impaired.

7. Restful Sleep

A diet filled with processed foods containing artificial ingredients, sugar, caffeine, salt, and white flour
will not supply your body everything it needs to rest properly. The body will spend a lot of its resting
hours processing sugars and empty nutrition.

8. Regular Bowel Movements

Fiber from grains, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and adequate amounts of water help the body
rid itself of toxins. The longer foods stay in the digestive system, the more calories and toxins can be
extracted. This results in more weight gain and more damage from toxins from processed foods.
Toxins in the colon need to be eliminated daily.

9. Good Muscle Tone

Lean proteins, eaten with every meal, provide a steady flow of amino acids in the blood system for
the body to repair, build, and maintain healthy muscles.

10. Healthy Bones

Bone cells are constantly being replaced. Many vitamins and minerals must be present in your diet
at the same time for the body to absorb the calcium from the foods. A moderate resistance training
program three times a week, along with a balanced diet everyday, is the best assurance for strong
bones.

COMMON SLEEP DISORDERS

Insomia-is described as the inability to fall asleep or remain asleep.Person with


insomnia awaken not feeling rested.

Acute insomnia-last one to several nights and is often caused by personal stressors
and/or worry.

Chronic insomnia- insomnia last for more than a month.

Chronic intermittent inasomia- difficulty sleeping for a few nights, followed by a few
nights of adequate sleep before the problem returns.

Hypersomnia- conditions where the affected individual obtains sufficient sleep at


night but still cannot stay awake during the day. It can be caused by medical
conditions like central nervous system damage and certain kidney problem, liver or
meatabollic disorders; such as diabetic acidosis and hypothyroidism.

Narcolepsy- is a disorder of excessive daytime sleepiness caused by the lack of the


chemical hypocretin in the area of central nervous system that regulate sleep.

Sleep Apnea -Is characterized by frequent short breathing pauses during sleep,
more than five apneic episodes or five breathing pauses longer that 10 seconds
/hour

Obstructive Apnea- occurs when the structures of the pharynx or oral cavity blocked
the flow of airway.

Central Apnea- is thought to involve a defect in the respiratory center of the brain.
All actions involved in breathing , such as chest movement and airflow, cease.

Mixed- is a combination of central apnea and obstructive apnea.

Insufficient Sleep- healthy individual who obtain less sleep than they need will
experience sleepiness and fatigue during the daytime hours.

Parasomias- is a behavior that may interfere with sleep and may even occur during
sleep.
Breathing-related sleep disorders are syndromes in which the patient's sleep is interrupted byproblems wi
th his or her breathing. There are three types o f breathing-related sleep disorders:

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. This is the most common form of breathing-
relatedsleep disorder, marked by episodes of blockage in the upper airway during sleep. It is foundprimari
ly in obese people. Patients with this disorder typically alternate between periods ofsnoring or gasping (w
hen their airway is partly open) and periods of silence (when theirairway is blocked). Very loud snoring is
a clue to this disorder.

Central sleep apnea syndrome. This disorder is primarily found in elderly patients with heartor ne
urological conditions that affect their ability to breathe properly. It is not associated withairway blockage a
nd may be related to brain disease.

Central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome. This disorder is found most often in extremelyobese p
eople. The patient's airway is not blocked, but his or her blood oxygen level is toolow.

Mixed-type sleep apnea syndrome. This disorder combines symptoms of both obstructiveand cen
tral sleep apnea.
