  • Happy, healthy heart

    According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) the most common heart condition in the United States is coronary artery disease. This ailment occurs when cholesterol builds up in the arteries and they become damaged or diseased. In order to prevent or treat this illness, physicians recommend several lifestyle changes, all involving monitoring heart activity. There are several monitoring apps and devices that exist to help someone with a heart condition measure and track their cardiovascular improvements.

    In order to cope with heart-threatening conditions, it is important to measure stress levels. A physician may recommend a periodic ECG, or electrocardiogram, that can reveal evidence of heart strains. These days, many ECG involved wearing a portable monitor for 24 hours in order for it to properly indicate any cardiovascular abnormalities. Similarly, portable tests can be used for people with arrhythmia or A-fit, who can now use FDA-approved apps and devices to track their heart rate.

    Other heart-healthy devices are available to the general public, with simpler trackers that produce daily heart rates or give daily advice, suggestions and support for people looking to improve their breathing or blood pressure. Wearable heart monitors and devices make it easier than ever before for people to remain heart-healthy.

  • Get some sleep

    In our fast-paced world, sleep does not often get the attention it deserves. Sleeping through the night can lower your risk of injury, allow for better weight control and put you in an improved mood for the rest of the day. If sleeping or waking up have become increasingly difficult for you, it may be time to consider some technology-based sleep methods.

    Sleep apps allow you to take control of your nighttime habits by tracking, measuring and evaluating your sleep methods. Some of the most popular sleep-related apps allow you to track your sleep nightly, so you can see what time you fell asleep, how many hours you slept and what time you woke up. By keeping track of these sleep statistics, you can become more aware of your bedtime routine and can adjust as necessary.

    Other sleeping methods include the use of blue light filters, which can help eliminate harmful lights that are emitted by phone and tablet screens and can significantly reduce the time it takes for you to fall asleep. Nighttime filters on your electronics can also help you relax and are recommended for those who feel restless or anxious before bedtime.

  • The circadian preferences in the context of sociodemographic indicators and lifestyle

    Differences between morning and evening types can also be founded on lifestyle and health. There are significant differences in the consumption of legal substances (alcohol, coffee, nicotine, caffeinated beverages) and illegal drugs between people with extreme M/E preferences. Evening types reported higher consumption of both (Danielsson et al. 2019; Wittmann et al. 2006). This overuse could be explained as an attempt to cope with social jet lag (SJL). SJL is a discrepancy between biological time, determined by our internal body clock, and social times, mainly dictated by social obligations such as school or work (Caliandro et al. 2021). Given current social factors and pressures, evening types are thought to use stimulants first to help them cope with sleep deprivation and its associated effects. However, it should be borne in mind that substance use (especially addiction) is a complex process and is influenced by many other variables, not just circadian preferences and related genes (Adan et al. 2012). An unhealthy lifestyle is associated with increasing obesity, unhealthy diets, hypertension, cardiovascular risk, and other civilization disorders (Didikoglu et al. 2019; Mazri et al. 2020). Moreover, evening types have more frequent mental disorders and more sleeping problems (Merikanto et al. 2016; Patterson et al. 2016).

  • Communication: a person-centred approach

    Recognising that you are struggling is key to your being able to do something about it. There are numerous strategies for us to employ to improve our mental well-being; self-care thus becomes essential to our health. At work, talking to colleagues (debriefing) can be supportive, especially following a particularly stressful situation, seeking counselling from Occupational Health or the GP may help. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important, for example, sleeping well, eating healthily, keeping hydrated, exercising, continuing with interests/hobbies and talking to friends and family. For some practising mindfulness or meditation or connecting with nature, going for a walk in the local park/woods will help improve their well-being. These things can be very personal, but part of self-care is knowing what helps you and when you need to employ them.

  • Support for the basic psychological needs and satisfaction with health and quality of life in college students with disabilities

    Health among college students in general remains a paramount concern. Research shows that approximately 80.3% of college students with disabilities do not meet the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendations of 150 min/week moderate physical activity, 72.2% do not meet the recommendation of 75 min/week of vigorous physical activity, and about 63.1% of students with disabilities do not meet either recommendation.26 Additionally, research has shown that students with multiple disabilities, students with chronic illnesses, students with acquired disabilities, older students with disabilities, women with disabilities, and obese students with disabilities are less active than their peers with other types of disabilities. Healthy lifestyle behaviors can include regularly exercising and maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in activities to maintain positive mental health, and limiting risky behaviors such as drug and alcohol use. For individuals with disabilities, issues related to health and quality of life can be particularly important to understand and address. Adults with disabilities aged 18–64 have been shown to be less active than adults without disabilities, with 47.1% of adults with disabilities being inactive compared to 26.1% of adults without disabilities. Low physical activity can lead to various additional challenges for people with disabilities such as increasing the possibility of acquiring secondary conditions, lower quality of life, and limiting functional independence.

  • Lifestyle and Diet

    In the field of sociology, lifestyle is a mode of living chosen by an individual, a society, or a nation, and is shaped by its economic, geographical, political, cultural, and religious context (3). Lifestyle reflects the characteristics of individuals or inhabitants of a region in a particular time and place. It includes day-to-day behaviors and functions of individuals in jobs, activities, fun, and diet (3). An individual can, in the form of different practices, express him- or herself through their choice of lifestyle (4). Lifestyle may also include opinions of an individual or a group of individuals regarding the environment, philosophy, religion, health, politics, and so on. In brief, lifestyle is the manner of living, being, and thinking of a person or a society.
