What Is Causing You to Have Cough at Night?

 Have you ever noticed that many diseases and discomforts get worse at night? 


Parents and people who get sick easily already know that, at night, things are always more intense. Isn't it true? 



But do you know why it happens? 


Many intertwined factors cause this, starting with the circadian rhythm. Hormone levels, such as the stress hormone (cortisol), change during the night, and that affects the airways. 



After midnight, the breathing slows down, which results in the less efficient transfer of oxygen in blood flow and the elimination of carbon dioxide by the lungs. Isn't it interesting? 



Also, the action of anti-inflammatory mediators is reduced without sunlight, which facilitates the release of the inflammatory response. This is why fevers and pains get worse at night. 


Now that we understand the general aspect of "night worsening," watch the video to see some specific symptoms and why they get worse. 



Asthma

Cold

Nasal congestion 

Bronchitis


Remember that to sleep comfortably, the bedroom should be neither too hot nor too cold. 



The ideal temperature for a good night of sleep is between 60 to 69 F. The humidity levels should be around 40 to 60%.


Practicing some breathing exercises may help you sleep better.

The causes of erectile dysfunction are diverse and classified into two categories: physical and emotional (psychological). 



If you had it at some point in your life and are bothered by it, our first suggestion is that you schedule a visit to a urologist. 


The doctor will identify the cause and recommend the best treatment for your case.

Lack of Melatonin Can Make You Hungry and Fat

 Have you ever heard about melatonin? 


Have you ever used melatonin to help you sleep better, or know someone who tried it? 


Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the body and whose main function is to regulate the circadian cycle. 



Besides that, melatonin also promotes the good functioning of the body and acts as an antioxidant. Interesting, isn't it? 


Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland, which is only active at night, naturally inducing sleep. 



Because of that, it is important to avoid light, sounds, or aromatic stimuli that may accelerate metabolism and reduce melatonin production near the time to sleep. 


Usually, melatonin production reduces as we age, which is why sleep disturbances are more frequent in adults and the elderly. 



Besides helping with sleep and having antioxidant action,  melatonin also improves seasonal depression, reduces stomach acid, prevents cancer, helps with polycystic ovary syndrome, treats migraines, improves the response to chemotherapy, and prevents baldness and hair loss. Isn't it incredible? 



However, many people also say that melatonin helps with weight loss, while others believe that it may increase brown fat. Did you know? 



Watch the video to learn more about melatonin and how it can help you burn fat!
