Let's Talk About LalalalaLOVE^^

| at 4:44 AM


My newest favorite song :))


Sometimes I wondered
what I'd be when I grew up
And then I remembered
It was anything I dreamed of

I could be a poet or singer
I can be a scientist
But before I make that decision,
Let's talk about my list

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about peace
And livin' in perfect harmony

Let's talk about hugs
And talk about ways we can share

Let's talk about you
Let's talk about me
Let's talk about
How we can be one big family

Let's talk about love
Let's talk about love

Sometimes I feel like
I want to give my friends a call
To tell them what I'm dreamin'
And everything I want

I want us to be a little closer
And to always reach out a hand
To be kind to one another
And always understand

It's all about love
It's all about peace
And livin' in perfect harmony

It's all about hugs
It's all about ways
That we can share

It's all about you
It's all about me
It's all about
How we can be one big family
It's all about love

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la...

Everybody has a heart
Everybody has a smile
Let's wrap a bow
Around each one
And give it away
(And give it away!)
Once a while....!
(Let's talk about love)
Let's talk about peace)
(And livin' in perfect harmony)

It's all about hugs
And all about ways
That we can share

It's all about you
It's all about me
It's all about
How we can be one big family

It's all about love
All about love

It's all about hugs
It's all about
Ways that we can share

It's all about you
It's all about me
Let's talk about
How we can be one big family

Let's talk about love
Talk about love
Let's talk about love!
Ooooooohh!
It's all about love

The Heartbreak of Insomnia: Sleep and Heart Health

| at 10:59 PM

As a cardiologist, I am all too well acquainted with sleep deprivation, so a recent spate of research on the effects of sleep on heart health has been an eye-opener for me. It’s a no-brainer that lack of sleep can make you less alert, but did you know that it may also lead to high blood pressure, cholesterol buildup in the heart, and irregular heartbeats? As a consequence, the risk of heart attacks and strokes is higher when we are chronically deprived of sleep. Lack of sleep and poor quality sleep can also contribute to obesity, diabetes, and even the common cold.
When we’re sleepy, we tend to crave food that gives us an instant boost of energy. Unfortunate, this often means high fat, high sugar goodies. Once the initial energy surge wears off a few hours later, we’re guaranteed to feel even more sluggish and unmotivated, setting ourselves up for a vicious and very unhealthy cycle.
Although there may be a genetically gifted few who can thrive on three to four hours of sleep, most of us do best with about seven hours to eight hours of shut-eye. On the flip side, it is possible to get too much sleep. According to a study conducted by Dr. Jiu-Chiuan Chen and associates at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, people who routinely get more than nine hours of sleep have an even higher risk for stroke than those who get less than six hours each night.
What’s the solution? First, if you snore heavily or stop breathing at night, see your doctor to get tested for sleep apnea, a common condition that can be easily diagnosed and readily treated. Although there is no guaranteed prescription for a good night’s sleep, there are some simple and healthy habits you can develop that will help. Avoid all caffeine after about 4 p.m., since caffeine stays in our systems for at least six hours. People who exercise regularly have deeper, more restorative sleep. But since exercise makes us feel peppier, it’s best to avoid exercising within a couple of hours of bedtime. Be careful with alcohol. It has some heart-healthy benefits, but if you imbibe too late in the evening, it may affect the quality of your sleep. And finally, create a relaxing ritual before bedtime. Turn off the TV, turn down the lights, read something light or write in your journal, and allow yourself to ease into slumber.
