Not
all injuries and medical issues have symptoms that are easy to
diagnose. Sometimes the symptoms are invisible. In order to understand
the kind of injury or ailment you are suffering from, physicians conduct
various types of diagnostic tests. Blood tests and X-rays are the two
most common tests that are carried out. Here is everything you need to
know about these tests.
X-rays: A Lifesaver
X-rays
is an imaging technique that uses electromagnetic radiation to check
what is happening in your body without cutting it open. X-rays can be
conducted on all parts of the body. In urgent care, you can expect the
doctor to order an X-ray if they suspect that you may have a broken
bone, or if you are suffering from lung conditions, or digestive system
problems among others.
If you are worried about radiation
exposure, there is no cause for concern. As long as you don't have
X-rays frequently, you do not get exposed to high dosage of radiation.
Hence, it does not pose a major health risk.
The Importance of Blood Tests
Sometimes,
it is necessary to draw blood to get complete blood count. The test
examines your white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, and the
proportion of red cells to plasma. Looking at the results, doctors can
determine if there is an underlying problem. If they find something
amiss, they may request further tests to find the exact cause of your
health problem.
To take your blood, a phlebotomist will tie
tourniquet around your upper arm. You will be asked to make a fist with
your hand to allow the vein to pop out. Using a needle and syringe, the
phlebotomist will draw the amount of blood needed for the test. The
tourniquet will then be removed and a sticky tape will be put on the
puncture wound, and you are done.
Minor Injury Care
Urgent
care deals with minor cuts, wounds, lacerations, abrasions, minor
fractures, tendonitis, sprains, minor burns, infected wounds, and
removing foreign objects. Based on the type of injury, you may have to
have an X-ray or a nurse will clean, disinfect and dress your wound.
You
may need a tetanus shot, as well, which the nurse will give you.
Depending on the amount of pain you are in, the doctor may prescribe OTC
painkillers. If you have a dressing, you may have to come in everyday
to get the dressing changed. The nurse will give you tips on how to care
for your wound or injury at home.
The blood tests, X-rays and
injury care provided by urgent care centers aim to ease the burden on
emergency rooms. So, if you have a non-life-threatening health condition
or injury that requires prompt medical attention, urgent care is the
place for you.

Happiness, Health, and Healing - A Natural Foundation for a Healthy Mind
In
my own personal life, I have fallen prey to a belief that I could
"handle" stress regardless of the situation. I found myself to be a
decent multitasker and prided myself on always being like a straight
line that is never too far up or down. With this, I found myself adding
stresses to my life often that were very much unnecessary and without
benefit. I could handle it.
Well, at the age of 35, I found myself with 7 health food stores, 3 wellness clinics, a natural products manufacturing company, 4 homes, two kids, a wife, and traveling around 1500 miles per week not including flights and international travel. I was on the cover of magazines, writing articles, doing radio shows, and was speaking for groups and often never knew at the start of a day where I would end up by the end of the day. I would wake in the morning and need a couple of minutes to identify where I was even waking up. I remember once waking up while losing altitude in a Cessna 172 above the Appalachian Mountains that I was the pilot of!
I once fell asleep at the wheel of a 4x4 Ford Excursion Diesel while driving down the road, in a town, WHILE DOING A RADIO SHOW ON THE PHONE! I trusted people that I shouldn't have, was not there many nights when my girls were laying down to sleep, and woke many nights wondering what I was doing and why. I knew that the message that I was teaching was important, however, the message was all but slipping away from my own life.
I had car accidents that were near fatal, once being knocked unconscious, upside down in a sports car, laying in the bottom of a ravine in North Georgia, in the woods at 3 in the morning. I was covered in blood, upside down, and fumbling around for guess what? My cell phone. It had been thrown 35 feet into the woods. Once I kicked my way out of the car that was burning, I got my phone and climbed the ravine to call for help.
Needless to say, it was at this time that I was finally admitting that I needed to reevaluate my life, that I was not indestructible, and that I by myself could not manage everything on my own and by myself. It was time for a dramatic change.
The interesting thing is that around 20 years prior to this life changing event, I had been handed over a formula that was available to help me.
As a young teen, I met an herbalist who lived only miles from my school, but who was internationally renowned as one of the world's top folk herbalists.
Tommie Bass lived in Leesburg, Alabama and was featured on the cover of the Wall Street Journal in 1985, and who was the subject of over 5 books, while never having any formal education, taught at Duke University and was the subject of a Master's Thesis.
The day that I met Tommie was one of the most important days of my life. He taught me about simple herbalism, using what was created for us to use as our medicine, about people and how to help them when they didn't have the strength to do so themselves, about simple living and being close to nature. I am sure that he didn't mean being in the woods at 3am crawling out of a Jaguar XKR that was burning.

Live Long: What Water Is The Best?
There
are many opinions in this respect. But all depends on the purpose of
fasting. If the fasting is very much serious, if, for example, it is
required to cure or ease a dangerous illness considerably and quickly,
then certainly the most suitable water for such fasting would be
distilled water. If the fasting's task is just a little cleaning before a
long juice-diet, the best water usually is well-filtered water. But in
our case of a short-term fasting the proper training for the first
attempts is to accustom the organism to this kind of therapeutic
fasting. Therefore, the easier goes the first day the better.
And the simplest fasting is the water one, a fast with carbonated water. Initially the water should have neither minerals nor salts virtually. Read its label, there should be the content listed. If you are not sure, better to ask a seller or an assistant in the supermarket. Choose the most pure and most low mineral water of what you are able to obtain. Remember: there in that water should be nothing except carbonic gas and a very little addition (as minimum as possible) of minerals. It is your ideal water.
It does not need to be cooled, the room temperature suits the fasting best of all. Buy some bottles. You will need about one gallon in total, though better to buy it in smaller bottles because it will help you to have at least one bottle always with you. Please drink this water every time you feel thirst. And drink it even more if suddenly comes the appetite.
Even if you drink too much it is not dangerous. The main thing is: this day you should press down and quench both the thirst and the appetite. Fill in your body with water. Though there is no need of being addicted to water drinking too much. You can drink safely up to 12 pints of water that day. Or more. Or less. No restrictions.
WHY THE CARBONATED WATER IS BETTER
There is a rather little though important reason for that. The first advantage is that carbonated water has a weak acid reaction. Not to go into details, we can say that the weak carbonic acid in that water will never allow your organism to store up any salts neither in joints nor in blood vessels. It is very good for you. The second reason is the low salt concentration which was there in the water initially. During the carbonation process at the factory some salts drop down as a deposit and do not get into bottles.
As a rule, the carbonated water has a much lower percentage of salts than pure non-carbonated water. And again, it is very good. The third reason is taste. As a whole the carbonated water is a little bit tastier and gives a more fresh feeling than not carbonated waters. On fasting it is always a pleasure to feel a taste; it may calm the appetite down. And at last the fourth reason, the very important one, especially during the first days of fasting: drinking the carbonated water you will feel hundreds of microscopic bulbs of carbonic gas in your mouth; this usually simulates a food or something like food, thereby deceiving your digestion desires. In other words, with the carbonated water it will be easier to suppress the appetite, and refraining from meal will be slightly less problematic too.
PREJUDICES AGAINST CARBONATED WATER
Some people spread rumors and ridiculous prejudices against carbonated water. The especially baseless one is that the carbonic gas is harmful. To understand all the false ground and ignorance of such statement one should simply recollect an axiom.
Each person inhales 33 pounds of air a day in average, and sure, that person exhales exactly as much. In the exhaled air there is 4% of carbonic gas. Please let us count and see: within a day a person exhales some about 20 ounces of pure carbonic gas. It is absolutely normal, it is that same carbonic gas which is formed in each person as a result of ordinary breath.
But a two-pint big bottle of carbonated water contains just as much as 0.2oz of carbonic gas. It turns out that a common person exhales as much carbonic gas a day as we can collect from 120 big two-pint bottles! But even having thirst on fasting that person will hardly drink more than 4 of such bottles. That is 30 (thirty!) times less than that same person exhales in his normal state during that same day. Whether that little quantity is able to damage the organism? Definitely not. Moreover that gas is a good thing, a natural stuff that each of us produces every minute every day.

Summer Tips to Keep You Healthy
Dreaming
about laying back on the sun lounger, sand between your toes and
cocktail in hand. The sun's rays feel good right? But they're no friend
to your skin.
Though you won't see it right away, they give you wrinkles and age spots, and they're the top cause of skin cancer!
Overexposure to UV rays from the sun or sunbeds is the number one cause of developing skin cancer. You need to make sure you are doing everything that you can to protect yourselves so that you can enjoy your time in the sun. With the approach of Sun Awareness Week, we thought it would be the perfect time to share with you some of our top tips for staying safe in the sun this summer.
1. Seek shade
From 11am to 3pm the sun is at its strongest. During this period it is recommended for you to stay out of the sun as you are more at risk of burning or developing heatstroke. If you are having lunch in your garden or at the sea-side you may seek shade under a parasol to have maximum protection.
2. Stay hydrated
Spending too much time in the sun without drinking water will get you chronically dehydrated. It is recommended to reduce the consumption of caffeinated drinks or alcoholic beverages during hot days, as this will tend to make you even more dehydrated. You should drink at least eight glasses of water every day and even more on hot days to stay hydrated. Dehydrated skin is more prone to sun damage, so drink plenty of water!
3. Wear sunscreen
When you are exposed to the sun, always make sure that you are wearing a sunscreen that is right for you. It is important to know which sunscreen is suitable for you skin type and blocks both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B radiation. Before applying your sunscreen, always check its expiry date. It should usually last for about 12 months from opening, moreover you can also check the label on the product. Always apply liberally and remember to reapply after swimming even if it says it is a water resistant sunscreen. Remember also that UV rays bounce off sand, snow, concrete, and water.
4. Clothing
Cover up with a hat that shades your face, neck and ears and a good pair of sunglasses. When deciding about which fabric to wear in summer choose cotton to absorb excess sweating or close-weave fabrics which give the best protection. Skin that's not usually in the sun is most likely to burn. So take extra care with your back, shoulders and tummy.
5. Self-tan
Instead of exposing yourself to potentially harmful UV rays, use a self-tan to achieve that healthy brown glow you're desiring.
Now that the countdown is on to summer and you will be spending more time outdoors start practising these sun safe tips, in order to guarantee an enjoyable holiday and summer in the sun!

Cover up with a hat that shades your face, neck and ears and a good pair of sunglasses. When deciding about which fabric to wear in summer choose cotton to absorb excess sweating or close-weave fabrics which give the best protection. Skin that's not usually in the sun is most likely to burn. So take extra care with your back, shoulders and tummy.
5. Self-tan
Instead of exposing yourself to potentially harmful UV rays, use a self-tan to achieve that healthy brown glow you're desiring.
Now that the countdown is on to summer and you will be spending more time outdoors start practising these sun safe tips, in order to guarantee an enjoyable holiday and summer in the sun!

Tips to Choose the Right Doctor
Looking
for the doctor is not always easy. It is even harder when you go out of
network and locate a practitioner that can meet your health needs.
However, if you are prepared and informed, your will be able to choose
the right one. You can also use our tips to find the right one. Read on
to find out more about the tips.
1. Look for an Integrative Doctor
In traditional medicine, the objective is to find out the core cause of the disease and then prescribe the right medicine. If you have a health issue, you may want to look for a good integrative doctor. To find the right one, you can ask friends, family or your colleagues. The goal of integrative medicine is to heal a person with a certain health condition.
Make sure you go with a practitioner that has a good deal of knowledge. Moreover, the professional should use a holistic approach in order to treat you. He should find out the root cause of your condition instead of treating the symptoms.
2. Symptoms and Underlying Causes
Today, doctors consider symptoms of a condition to prescribe medicine. On the other hand, an experienced integrative physician will take into account your illness symptoms and then try to find out the root cause of the symptoms. In the end, they may prescribe the right treatment. So, before you hire one, make sure they can identify and address the underlying cause of the problem.
3. A Coach, not a Friend
Your doctor is your coach, not a friend. The doctor will let you know what to do and what not. But it's also your responsibility to follow their advice. So, during the interview, you should try to find out if the doctor is going to play the role of a doctor or coach. Remember: if the practitioner is friendly, doesn't mean he is going to act like a friend.
4. Dispensary
It's a good idea to buy medicine from the doctor's dispensary. You may want to ask each potential practitioner if they operate their own dispensary. The dispensary should not have just nutritional supplements. In fact, it should have herbal products, natural meds, homeopathic remedies, biological medicines and minerals, to name a few.
5. Insurance
You are not bound to hire an insured doctor. As a matter of fact, top integrative doctors are not insured. The reason is that the paperwork and bureaucracy may waste a lot of the doctor's time. Moreover, it may limit the therapeutic options a doctor may use. According to a study, doctor's spend more time doing paperwork than checking patients in their office.
So, if you are going to look for a doctor soon, we suggest that you consider these simple but useful tips. This way you will be more likely to pick the right doctor to get rid of your condition once and for all. Hopefully, you will be able to get rid of your health issue by hiring the right doctor.

Don't Let Health Excuses Become a Barrier to Your Success - Power of Positive Thinking
"But
My Health is not good." Health excuses range all the way from the
chronic "I don't feel good," to the more specific "I have got such and
such wrong with me."
"Bad" health, in a thousand different forms, is used as an excuse for failing to do what a person wants to do, failing to accept greater responsibilities, failing to make more money, failing to achieve success or just another Defense Mechanism to escape from one's Obligations and Responsibilities.
Millions and Millions of people suffer from Health Excuses. But is it, in most cases, a Legitimate Excuse? Think for a moment of all the highly successful people you know who could- but who do not- use Health as an Excuse.
All Physicians and Surgeons say the perfect specimen of Adult Life is Non-Existent. There is something physically wrong with everybody. Many surrenders in whole or in part to Health Excuses but Success- Thinking People do not.
For instance, the Correct and Incorrect Attitude towards Health can be Detrimental.
Incorrect Attitude: - A young Chap of about 30 visited a psychologist and said, "I have got a bad heart, and I have got to hold myself in check". He went on to explain that he'd seen four doctors but they could not find his trouble and asked what he should do.
The psychologist said to him that "I know nothing about the heart, but as one layman to another, here are three things I'd do. First, I'd visit the finest heart specialist I could find and accept his diagnosis as final. You've already checked with four doctors and none of them has found anything peculiar with your heart. Let the fifth doctor be your final check. It may very well be you have got a perfectly sound heart. But if you keep on worrying about it, eventually you may have a very serious heart ailment. Looking and looking and looking for an illness often actually produce illness.
The second thing I'd recommend is "Emotions Management". Three out of every four hospital beds are occupied by "EII" or "Emotionally Induced Illness" people who are sick right now would be well if they had learned how to handle their emotions.
"Third, I'd resolve to live until I die." Declare to yourself "I am going to live until I die and I am not going to get life and death confused. While I am on this earth I am going to live."
Correct Attitude: - On the other hand, after the noise of the take-off, one of the passengers heard a tickling sound. Rather startled, he glanced at the fellow sitting beside him, for the sound seemed to be coming from him.
The second fellow smiled a big smile and said, "Oh, it's not a bomb, it's just my heart."
Further, he said and assured, just 21 days before, I had undergone an operation which involved putting a plastic valve into my heart. The tickling sound, he explained would continue for several minutes until new tissue had grown over the artificial valve. The first fellow passenger asked him what he was going to do.
"Oh," he said, "I have got big plans. I am going to study law when I get back to my country. Someday I hope to be in government work. The doctors tell me I must take it easy for few months, but after that, I'll be like new."
There are two ways of meeting the health problems. The first fellow, not even sure he had anything organically wrong with him, was worried, depressed, on the road to defeat, wanting somebody to second his motion that he could not go forward. The second individual, after undergoing one of the most difficult operations, was optimistic, eager to do something. The difference lay in how they thought toward health:- Attitude about Health!
Therefore, it is warned that "Diabetes or any other lifestyle-related ailment is a physical condition, but the biggest damage results from having a negative attitude towards the same. Worry about it and you may have real Trouble."
There are two kinds of people; one who has a very mild case belongs to that fraternity of the living dead. Obsessed with a fear of the weather, he is usually ridiculously bundled up. He's afraid of infection, so he shuns anybody who has the slightest sniffle. He's afraid of overexertion, so he does almost nothing. He spends most of his mental energy worrying about what might happen. He bores other people telling them "How Awful" his problem really is. His real ailment is not Diabetes. Rather, he's a victim of Health excuses. He has pitied himself into being invalid.
The other extreme is a division manager for a large publishing company. He has a severe case; he takes about 30 times as much insulin as the fellow mentioned above. But he is not living to be sick. He is living to enjoy his work and have fun. One day he said, "Sure it is an inconvenience, but so is shaving. But I am not going to think myself to bed. When I take those shots, I just praise the guys who discovered insulin."
A Widely known college educator came home from Europe in 1945 minus one arm. Despite his handicap, John is always smiling and helping others. He's about as optimistic as anyone can be. One day he discussed with one of his friend about his handicap. "It's just an arm," he said. "Sure two are better than one. But they just cut off my arm. My spirit is 100 percent intact. I'm really grateful for that."
Another Amputee person is an excellent Golfer. One day somebody asked him how he had been able to develop such a near-perfect style with just one arm. He was asked that most Golfers with two arms can't do nearly as well. He replied, "Well, it's my experience, that the right attitude and one arm will beat the wrong attitude with two arms every time". Think about that for a while. It holds true not only on the Golf course but in every facet of life.

Big Bad Blue Light
Can
you recall a time when you are lying in bed or in a dark room starting
at your mobile phone screen or your laptop? Maybe you have an email to
send just before you head to bed, or you have to finish that last stage
of Candy Crush before you retire to bed?
The light that is emitted from your phone or your computer is called 'blue light' and it is harmful at night. Let's see why.
Your Normal Circadian Rhythm
For millions of years, the sun has been the primary source of light for all creatures on earth, including humans.
It is rare for us to require any artificial sources of light during the day, unless we are in a closed space that lacks windows. While daytime is great for light, night is a different story. How many of you can recall a time when we did not have mobile phones, advanced electronic gadgets or energy efficient light bulbs (compact fluorescent lights, or CFL), and relied on good old tube lights or low voltage light bulbs to illuminate our houses?
Our body has an internal clock that makes it active in the day time and sleepy at night. This circadian rhythm is responsible for keeping us alert and attentive, and relies heavily on external light. The average length of one circadian rhythm is 24 and one quarter hours (24 hours and 15 minutes). This varies in people who have late nights or those who work night shifts.
Our circadian rhythm depends on the release of melatonin, a hormone released in the brain that helps us sleep. In the daytime, the hormone levels are very low, while at night they are high and help you fall asleep. However, if you are exposed to light for long hours at night by staring at your phone or computer or even when sleeping with the light on, your melatonin levels will remain low. This could alter your circadian rhythm, confusing your brain and keeping you awake for longer.
Blame The Blue
There are various wavelengths of light emitted from electronic gadgets and energy saving light bulbs. However, blue light seems to be the most notorious one. Interestingly, CFLs contain about 25% of harmful blue light and LEDs contain about 35% of harmful blue light.
In one experiment that was conducted at Harvard University, it was found that exposure to blue light for 6.5 hours suppressed melatonin release for twice as long as the same duration for green light. It also shifted the circadian rhythm by 3 hours. In another experiment conducted in Toronto, people who were exposed to bright light but were wearing blue-blocking goggles had the same levels of melatonin compared to those who were in a dimly lit room.
Another study looking at teenagers using their mobile phones or gadgets in the night found that just one hour's exposure to blue light reduced melatonin levels by 23%. In two hours, it reduced further to 38%.
Similarly, red light seems to have almost no effect on the circadian rhythm as compared to blue light. Some people even advise using a dark red light as a bed light as it would not interrupt sleep patterns.
The Harmful Effects Of Blue Light
So what effect does blue light really have on the body? Sadly, it is not just about it affecting one's sleep. Excessive exposure to blue light has now been linked to weight gain, heart disease, depression and even some forms of cancer.
Melatonin has anti-cancer properties, and low levels of it at night can increase the risk of cancer. In one study, women who worked night shifts had low melatonin levels and a 50 - 75% greater risk of developing breast cancer in their lifetime.
People who are exposed to blue light at night have a lower level of insulin production. This means that any snacks eaten when staying up late are not broken down into glucose and used by the body. Instead, they are converted to fat and increase body weight. Not just that, the low insulin levels mean that diabetes can be a complication of blue light exposure.
But it is not just adults who are affected. Children seem to be greatly impacted by blue light as well. Children and infants who stare at their favourite cartoon on your mobile phone are exposed to great amount of blue light. This can penetrate the eye, damaging the back of the eye i.e. retina. It leads to a condition called macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in adult life. It can also speed up the development of cataracts.
Preventing Damage
So what can you do to prevent the ill effects of blue light on your health? Some simple steps are sufficient. Make sure you spend plenty of time out in normal daylight. You could shift your work desk near the window. Avoid using your phone or laptop for at least 3 hours before you head to bed. This will allow your brain to increase the levels of melatonin, and this will help you fall asleep sooner.
These days, apps are available for phones that filter out the blue light and only emit less harmful rays.
Do your best to expose yourself to plenty of bright light during the day. Natural light is the best kind for you. On the weekends, try and avoid being a couch potato and head out of the house with the family.
If you have to use a bed lamp, use a red coloured one rather than a blue one. The red light has the least effect on melatonin and does not affect circadian rhythm. Avoid using LED lights too frequently.

The light that is emitted from your phone or your computer is called 'blue light' and it is harmful at night. Let's see why.
Your Normal Circadian Rhythm
For millions of years, the sun has been the primary source of light for all creatures on earth, including humans.
It is rare for us to require any artificial sources of light during the day, unless we are in a closed space that lacks windows. While daytime is great for light, night is a different story. How many of you can recall a time when we did not have mobile phones, advanced electronic gadgets or energy efficient light bulbs (compact fluorescent lights, or CFL), and relied on good old tube lights or low voltage light bulbs to illuminate our houses?
Our body has an internal clock that makes it active in the day time and sleepy at night. This circadian rhythm is responsible for keeping us alert and attentive, and relies heavily on external light. The average length of one circadian rhythm is 24 and one quarter hours (24 hours and 15 minutes). This varies in people who have late nights or those who work night shifts.
Our circadian rhythm depends on the release of melatonin, a hormone released in the brain that helps us sleep. In the daytime, the hormone levels are very low, while at night they are high and help you fall asleep. However, if you are exposed to light for long hours at night by staring at your phone or computer or even when sleeping with the light on, your melatonin levels will remain low. This could alter your circadian rhythm, confusing your brain and keeping you awake for longer.
Blame The Blue
There are various wavelengths of light emitted from electronic gadgets and energy saving light bulbs. However, blue light seems to be the most notorious one. Interestingly, CFLs contain about 25% of harmful blue light and LEDs contain about 35% of harmful blue light.
In one experiment that was conducted at Harvard University, it was found that exposure to blue light for 6.5 hours suppressed melatonin release for twice as long as the same duration for green light. It also shifted the circadian rhythm by 3 hours. In another experiment conducted in Toronto, people who were exposed to bright light but were wearing blue-blocking goggles had the same levels of melatonin compared to those who were in a dimly lit room.
Another study looking at teenagers using their mobile phones or gadgets in the night found that just one hour's exposure to blue light reduced melatonin levels by 23%. In two hours, it reduced further to 38%.
Similarly, red light seems to have almost no effect on the circadian rhythm as compared to blue light. Some people even advise using a dark red light as a bed light as it would not interrupt sleep patterns.
The Harmful Effects Of Blue Light
So what effect does blue light really have on the body? Sadly, it is not just about it affecting one's sleep. Excessive exposure to blue light has now been linked to weight gain, heart disease, depression and even some forms of cancer.
Melatonin has anti-cancer properties, and low levels of it at night can increase the risk of cancer. In one study, women who worked night shifts had low melatonin levels and a 50 - 75% greater risk of developing breast cancer in their lifetime.
People who are exposed to blue light at night have a lower level of insulin production. This means that any snacks eaten when staying up late are not broken down into glucose and used by the body. Instead, they are converted to fat and increase body weight. Not just that, the low insulin levels mean that diabetes can be a complication of blue light exposure.
But it is not just adults who are affected. Children seem to be greatly impacted by blue light as well. Children and infants who stare at their favourite cartoon on your mobile phone are exposed to great amount of blue light. This can penetrate the eye, damaging the back of the eye i.e. retina. It leads to a condition called macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in adult life. It can also speed up the development of cataracts.
Preventing Damage
So what can you do to prevent the ill effects of blue light on your health? Some simple steps are sufficient. Make sure you spend plenty of time out in normal daylight. You could shift your work desk near the window. Avoid using your phone or laptop for at least 3 hours before you head to bed. This will allow your brain to increase the levels of melatonin, and this will help you fall asleep sooner.
These days, apps are available for phones that filter out the blue light and only emit less harmful rays.
Do your best to expose yourself to plenty of bright light during the day. Natural light is the best kind for you. On the weekends, try and avoid being a couch potato and head out of the house with the family.
If you have to use a bed lamp, use a red coloured one rather than a blue one. The red light has the least effect on melatonin and does not affect circadian rhythm. Avoid using LED lights too frequently.

Suggestions for Health Sector Reform in Trinidad and Tobago
Health
reform refers to the changes in health administration, health planning
and, health research that places significant emphasis on local health
challenges aimed at improving health administration, health planning and
healthcare. They will combine to produce an efficient model of
healthcare delivery capable of increasing patient physical, medical and
psychological safety. Health reform should be driven by empirical data,
best practice and evidence based practice. A variety of health
statistics; such as mortality, manpower needs, technology functioning
and patient satisfaction; should be analyzed and employed in
strengthening health systems.
In Trinidad and Tobago the current system of healthcare is highly centralized. The Ministry of Health maintains operational oversight of five regional health authorities. These are the North West Regional, North Central Regional, Eastern Regional, South West Regional and Tobago Regional. South West, North West and North Central are the largest regions; each catering for the healthcare needs of more than three hundred thousand people.
A significant reform should be the specialization of the Ministry of Health in fewer functions aimed to improve healthcare efficiency. For example, it can concentrate on data compilation and analysis. It should be staffed with expert health researchers tasked with analyzing changes in epidemiology, and trends in morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, the Ministry of Health should have the power to instruct regional authorities to make systemic and resource changes based on the statistics collected and analyzed. Regional bodies should be mandated to provide health based statistics to the Ministry of Health quarterly. The Ministry of Health must maintain general oversight of regional authorities. It should produce annual reports based on self- monitoring and evaluation of the systems, performances and challenges in each region. Financial statements and audits should be submitted annually to the Ministry of Health and factors accounting for variance should be justified. Recommendations should be made for improvements and incidences of white-collar crime prosecuted.
One major reform that should be implemented is granting absolute autonomy to regional health authorities for the delivery of healthcare. They should be able to generate their own funds by charging fees for their services. This would eliminate dependency on the state or Ministry of Finance for funding. Each regional health authority should be able to invest in the stock market or undertake other income generating measures it deems feasible. Its funds should be spent in accordance with the health needs of the population it serves. Regional authorities should be responsible for primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare. In addition, they should be given oversight of private hospitals and health facilities in their geographic regions. Private facilities should be subject to price controls to avoid exorbitant charges and should be required to pay at least ten percent of their annual profit to the regional authority.
In addition, regional authorities should have the power to ensure that all health institutions and providers adhere to national accreditation standards. The Ministry of Health should be charged with responsibility for developing national accreditation standards in all aspects of the operations of health institutions. These should include hospitals, pharmacies, private practice. Also conventional and alternative medicines should be subject to accreditation standards. Everything and every health based institution should be subject to accreditation standards comparable with those of more developed countries such as Canada and the United States.
It is palpable that the boundaries of each regional authority be redefined so that they are of almost equal population size. At this time South West Regional is responsible for slightly over one half million people. Therefore given its limited resources, it cannot be expected to perform with greatest efficiency. Given the fact that the better health facilities are situated in urban centers, this would be a challenge that must be overcome judiciously. To accommodate this reform, regional authorities should induce joint public and private partnerships in the provision of healthcare centers in rural and other districts less accessible to major hospitals and health centers.
To make the health system efficient, a centralized electronic health record system should be developed and implemented. This would ensure that patients could access care in any region. Thus it would make it easy to access health records from any healthcare facility owned and administered within any regional authority. It is expected that the Ministry of Health should take a leading role in this enterprise. Records of patients in private hospitals should be accessible to regional authorities given that they may be moved to a public hospital if the care they require cannot be attained there. Sometimes for financial reasons such as exorbitant cost, patients may be moved to a public hospital.
Employment policies should enable the free movement of skills and expertise across regions. In some instances, highly specialized surgeons and caregivers should be made available to patients in other regions on a needs basis. In other words, one region can pay another for the services of its skilled human or physical resources demanded.
Regional bodies can collaborate in health planning. They can develop their strategic, business and budget plans cooperatively. Afterwards they can tweak their plans to fit their population needs. The main advantages of centralized planning will be greater transparency, accountability and inter-operational functionality. Inter-planning can reduce competition between regions and ensure that scare resources are used efficiently. In effect, the Ministry of Health can compare operational effectiveness and best practice across all regions and provide opportunities to strength operational or institutional efficiency.
The health system should be reformed so that it is able to provide high quality care for patients. Patients should be well-educated to take advantage of a competent, highly organized and skillfully administered healthcare system. Finally reform must involve all stakeholders; government, private practitioners and citizenry. A convergent bottom up and top down model should be adopted so that there is universal buy-in to health reform capable of contributing to economic and social development of the country's human capital.
