The Integrative Specialist
When you gradually fall asleep (rather than crashing into bed), noises, light and other disturbances won’t wake you as easily. Dim the lights an hour before bed and use a HEPA filter to improve air quality. blue-blocking light bulbs encourage production of the sleep hormone melatonin and may help. if you wake, give yourself a chance to fall back asleep before getting stressed. Don’t look at the clock.
The Sleep Doctor
Figure out the cause: Are you stressed, sick, depressed, on meds? Try compressing your sleep: If you usually sleep from 11 to 7, stay up until midnight and wake up earlier for a few days to squeeze out awakenings. Gradually increase. If you still have trouble, see a doctor. Taken under her guidance, sleeping pills can help.
The Sleep Apnea Pro
Many people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) don’t realize they’re waking up. With OSA, there’s less oxygen going to the brain, and it can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Losing weight helps, and treating sinus problems or allergies may prevent OSA. There are many effective medical techniques, so see a specialist if needed.
The Nutritionist
If you’ve ruled out OSA, caffeine could be the culprit. Cut back for a month to see if the problem goes away. GERD may also make you wake up coughing or with heartburn; avoid eating a few hours before bed and raise the head of the bed. Ask your doc about taking a magnesium supplement to help you relax. Alcohol interferes with deep sleep. If you drink, do it with dinner, not right before bed.
Best skin care treatments from experts. This winter, treat your skin as experts say.
DERMATOLOGIST
Cold weather and low humidity make dry skin even worse in the winter. After taking a quick shower or bath, pat your skin dry and immediately moisturize with a lotion containing dimethicone, cyclomethicone, collagen or Shea butter, which will help
seal in the product. Reapply at night.
COSMETIC DERMATOLOGIST
Avoid hot showers and baths, which can exacerbate the problem. Replace drying soaps with a moisturizing liquid cleanser and gently rub it in with a washcloth or loofah. Try using a humidifier in your bedroom to add moisture to the air, and avoid rough fabrics that can scratch the skin, like wool.
NUTRITIONIST
Diet is definitely part of the dry- skin equation. You want to stay hydrated, so women should aim for 72 ounces of fluid a day (from water and other beverages or water-based foods); men need 100 ounces. Watch your caffeine and alcohol intake, as both tend to be diuretics. Getting enough good fats is also important, so make sure to eat olive oil, nuts, seeds and fish
ALLERGIST
If your dry skin is itchy and looks and feels worse on the inside of your elbows, the back of your neck or knees, or your cheeks or hands, you may actually have eczema. Moisturizers help, but see an allergist or dermatologist, as you may need topical steroids to control the rash. You may also have an allergy to lotions, foods or other irritants that make the problem worse.
In order to help reduce your fat intake, choose lean cuts of meat and trim all visible fat before cooking. Avoid high- fat meats such as sausages, bacon and minced beef. Poultry should be eaten without the skin, and fish should be steamed, grilled, baked or micro- waved rather than fried. Sweet and savoury pies and pastries, biscuits, cakes, crisps and nuts are all high in fat and are best avoided on a slimming diet. Replace full-fat dairy products with low-fat alternatives.
You will probably lose 1.3 kg (3lb) or more during the first week of any diet, due to an initial loss of water from the body. Thereafter, it is best to aim for a steady weight loss of 450-900g (1-2lb) a week, which will result in a reduction of body fat. Increasing your calorie expenditure through regular exercise — three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes — will help to burn fat, and tone up the muscles for a leaner shape.
