Embarrassing Problems

Embarrassing Problems

 

If you are like most people at some point in your life you have had an embarrassing problem that you really couldn't talk about to even your closest friend. I know that when I was in high school I had a problem with dandruff and even though that doesn't seem all that much of an embarrassment for a guy in high school who was dating a popular cheer leader it was very embarrassing.
Later on when I was a working man just out of school I developed a new problem that was quite an embarrassment at the tender age of 18. Can you guess? No! I started to go bald. It was a very touchy subject even until my late thirties, however now that I'm 48 years old it's not so much of an embarrassment.
There are so many embarrassing problems that there is no way one person could have them all in one lifetime but there is a good chance that everyone has had or will have at least one.

Here are some of the top embarrassing physical problems:

• Bad Breath
• Acne
• Mole or wart
• IBS
• Cellulite
• Yeast 
• To many to mention here.

If you have an embarrassing problem please don't hesitate to put it in the comments and I will research it and write about it. 

Sleep Debt And Obesity

Sleep debt is a matter for safety concern but I want to show its relation to obesity. These statements are not from a doctor or health professional , but from me and what I decipher from research I have done on the internet.
This is what I found from the CDC (center for disease control) and the "Truck Driver Occupational Safety and Health 2003 Conference Report and Selective Literature Overview".
Sleep debt is associated with or can contribute to ;
Impaired glucose metabolism.
Abnormal cortisol regulation (stress hormone).
Impaired immune function.
Altered autonomic function (elevated sympathovagal balance).
OBESITY.
diabetes.
Hypertension.
Long haul drivers who do not have 24 hour work/rest cycles can suffer from disrupted circadian rythyms.
Over 40 hour work weeks can cause helicobacterpylori infection connected to peptic ulcers. This type of work week can also raise the risk for ischemic heart disease(IHD). The longer the work hours the greater risk.
Truck drivers take note; it's ok to stop and get a good sleep in. In fact it could save your life in the long run and keep your loved ones from facing hardship and tragedy.
Thats all for now . Happy trails and keep the shiny side up!
