My ophthalmologist and I don't see eye-to-eye on this Photo by Daniil Kuželev on Unsplash I have cataracts in both eyes, and as they have grown worse, I notice a touch of imbalance has come into my life.

Is Vertigo and Dizziness Related To My Cataracts?Science says they improve our sleep quality! Photo by Enrico Carcasci on Unsplash Ever flipped your pillow to the cool side? I have.
There's a reason we do it, and that's the reason that cooling pillows work. Not that I knew any of this until last week. Our body lets us sleep best when the ambient temperature is about 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. A fall in body temperature due to circadian rhythms causes drowsiness and increases our propensity to want to go to sleep in the evening. If we feel hotter, our sleep is disturbed, and we flip the pillow to seek cooling. It was only one week ago that I discovered that such a thing as a cooling pillow existed.

However, the call is controversial. Back in 2017, Professor Louis Levy, Public Health England's head of nutrition science, responded to calls for fortification by saying that there was not enough evidence that vitamin D would reduce the risk of respiratory infections.

The picture is mixed; some research shows that vitamin D levels have little or no effect on Covid-19, flu and other respiratory diseases.

Right now, with the pandemic still active, salad vegetables play a more vital role than ever in our diet because of their capacity to improve our immune defences. They're also convenient since we can eat them as raw, so they present little challenge in preparing for our everyday meals. For example, a cold dish of various raw vegetables, seasoned with oil, vinegar or other dressings, can be quickly prepared. Just how vital are salad vegetables in our diet to overcome viral infections?

Read what experts say about choosing the right pillow.
Use of the wrong type of pillow will lower the quality of our sleep. That's bad for our long-term health. There's a reason we are programmed to spend a third of our life sleeping. During sleep:
Chronic sleep deprivation impairs our attentiveness, coordination and reaction time. It also increases the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes and depression. |
