To Your Health With Jourdin Hendershot:

The Best Pajamas Are No Pajamas

Everything may be better in your pajamas, except for sleeping! Scientists say that going to bed stark naked could be the key to getting a good nights´ rest and can contribute to a number of health benefits! The National Sleep Foundation identifies that the ideal temperature for superior sleep is 65 degrees and says that the body´s way of auto-regulating its core temperature, {instinctively working toward ideal rest}, can be impeded by jammies.  Waking up wet, sticky and miserable is no way to sleep! Besides a good nights´ rest, other reasons that sleeping naked is good for you include:

• Improved blood circulation — Without clothing, blood circulation is less restricted, which benefits your entire body.


• Healthier skin and private parts — Bacteria thrives in warm, moist areas.  Ditching the pajamas, including under garments, can be beneficial for women prone to yeast infections.  Other areas that benefit are the armpits.


• Improved Sperm quality — Sperm´s temperature needs to be kept slightly below the core body temperature.  Wearing extra clothing can raise the body´s core temperature, which may reduce sperm quality and affect a man´s fertility.


• Balancing hormones — Allowing the body to stay cooler at night can help decrease cortisol, increase growth hormone and balance melatonin.


• Helps reduce weight — Keeping the body cold at night can help you lose weight by burning more calories because the body is trying to stay at a constant temperature.


• Healthier hair — The salt levels in your sweat can dry out your strands, especially if you don´t shampoo daily.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Garrett enjoys spending time with his wife (his high school sweetheart) and their five sons.  His interests include football, wake boarding, and fly fishing with his father.

Crazy, Zany Facts We Bet You Didn´t Know

A study from Harvard University finds that having no friends can be just as deadly as smoking.  Both effect levels of a blood-clotting protein Adult cats only meow at humans, not other cats.  Kittens meow to their mother but once they get a little older, cats no longer meow to other cats Bi-weekly has two different definitions: twice a week, or once every two weeks.

Savon´s Answer

Tooth Talk With Tommy The Wisdom Tooth

Vitiman B deficiency can affect your oral health.

Vitamin B deficiencies are one of the most common deficiencies that can affect your teeth and your mouth.  Common oral effects of vitamin B deficiency are burning sensations in the mouth and on the tongue, trouble swallowing, swollen tongue, and pale tissues in the inner cheeks that could break apart easily and come off. Deficiency in vitamin B can lead to anaemia or a low red blood cell count.  If you have a serious B12 deficiency then you could get neurological problems like numb or tingling limbs. Folic acid is a type of vitamin B and deficiency in this vitamin can give you burning sensations in your mouth. Like B12 deficiency, you can have numb or tingling limbs if you are deficient in folic acid.  Folic acid is important to the development of the foetus.  If you do not have enough folic acid early in your pregnancy then you will risk having a baby with neural tube defects.
