The Power of Sleep: Health Benefits of Quality Rest

The Power of Sleep: Health Benefits of Quality Rest There’s no arguing that our lives have become a whirlwind of responsibilities, deadlines, and never-ending to-do lists. In the midst of this chaos, one thing we often trade-off is sleep. But what if we told you that reclaiming your sleep can be the secret to unlocking optimal health and wellbeing? This might sound like a bold claim, but bear with us as we take you on a journey through the extraordinary world of sleep and its profound impact on your health. As we delve into this topic, don’t forget to check out our previous blogs where we discussed preserving mental health as a busy professional. It’s a fantastic resource that complements the information you’ll gather here.  Why Sleep Matters We all know how wonderful it feels to wake up refreshed after a good night’s sleep, but quality sleep isn’t just about waking up refreshed. It’s a foundation upon which our bodies repair and restore themselves. Numerous studies have linked adequate sleep to improved heart health, weight management, stronger immunity, and better mental health. Let’s go deeper into these sleep benefits: 1. Sleep and Mental Health: Nurturing the Mind As much as physical health, sleep has a huge bearing on our mental wellbeing. In fact, it’s a two-way street. Poor sleep can lead to mental health disorders, and conversely, conditions like anxiety and depression can also lead to sleep problems. According to sleep experts, our brain goes through several stages, including the crucial REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage, where most dreaming occurs. This stage is critical for memory consolidation and learning. It’s during this phase that our brain sorts and stores information, replacing the old with new insights and memories. This process is important for preserving mental health. If you’re keen to learn more about how to maintain mental health amidst a busy lifestyle, head over to our previous blog post on the subject HERE. 2. Sleep: Your Heart Health Matters Did you know that sleep can significantly impact your heart health? Studies have shown that sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. During sleep, our heart rate and blood pressure naturally decrease, allowing our heart to rest and recover. So, make sure you prioritise sleep to give your heart the break it deserves. 3. Weight Management: Sleep Your Way to a Healthy Weight If you’re looking to shed a few pounds or maintain a healthy weight, getting quality sleep should be on your to-do list. Research shows a clear link between sleep and weight management. Sleep plays a crucial role in regulating hormones that control appetite and hunger. Insufficient sleep can lead to imbalances in these hormones, resulting in increased cravings for unhealthy foods and a slower metabolism. So, aim for 7-9 hours of quality rest to support your weight management goals. 4. Boost Your Immunity In today’s world, maintaining a strong immune system is more important than ever. And guess what? Sleep is a key player in immune system functioning. Experts have confirmed that during sleep, your body produces proteins called cytokines that help fight infection, inflammation, and stress. So, if you’re not getting enough sleep, your body may not be able to fend off invaders effectively. Sleep is Your Superpower! By now, you should be well aware of the multiple health benefits of quality sleep. But remember, it’s not just about the quantity of sleep but also its quality. Disturbed or inadequate sleep won’t give you the same benefits as a good night’s rest. If you’re suffering from sleep problems or think your sleep quality could be better, it’s crucial to seek professional help. No matter where you are on your health journey, prioritising sleep can be a game-changer. To get expert advice on how to improve your sleep, consider downloading the My EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC app on Play Store or App Store today. Speak to our experienced doctors who can provide you with a personalised plan to enhance your sleep and overall health. Don’t underestimate the power of sleep. It’s not a luxury but a necessity.

We believe this is a step towards holistic health for everyone, which is why we recently organized the dynamic webinar titled “Managing Health Conditions: Strategies for Preserving Mental Health and Selfcare for Busy Professionals.” In this recap blog, we’ll delve into the insightful conversations that unfolded during the event.  Our host presenter and Marketing Lead, Ejiroghene Pepper, kick-started the event with an enthusiastic introduction, setting a vibrant tone for the afternoon. Subsequently, CloudClinic’s CEO, Mr. Ifeanyi Aneke, welcomed the audience. He explained the purpose and the underlying reason for the existence of the EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC app.    Fulfilling the EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC Vision  Mr. Aneke emphasized how EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC is designed to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers, offering a seamless interface to monitor and manage health conditions. He encouraged attendees to download the app from either the Play Store or the App Store, marking the first step in their journey towards comprehensive healthcare management.  Unraveling the Mystery of Mental Health  The event moved onto its key segment with an enlightening keynote address by Dr. Teju Fagbeja, a respected figure in the medical field. He delved into the essence of mental well being, particularly for individuals managing demanding professional roles. According to Dr. Fagbeja, the three strategies for good mental health are: Understanding Yourself, Empowering Yourself, and Advocating for Yourself. This sets the groundwork for individuals to comprehend their emotional state, cultivate resilience, and actively seek help when needed.  Dr. Fagbeja also shed light on the varying degrees of mental health challenges, indicating that “Mental health exists on a spectrum, ranging from mild to moderate to severe. It’s imperative to take even the subtlest signs of depression seriously and reach out to someone”. This statement emphasized the importance of early intervention in mitigating mental health crises.  In the Spotlight: Panel Discussion  Following the keynote address, we launched into an interactive panel discussion featuring Dr. Fagbeja, Dr. Jeremiah, and Dr. Uwaje. The panelists addressed a variety of questions from the audience, providing expert advice on managing health conditions and balancing professional commitments. Their inputs fueled engaging conversations and offered participants actionable strategies to maintain both their physical health and mental well being.  Navigating the EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC App To wrap up the webinar, our host, Ejiroghene Pepper, presented a step-by-step walkthrough of the EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC app. This included downloading the app, registering an account, verifying the account through an email pin, and finally booking an appointment with a healthcare professional.

Physical Therapy: Benefits, Techniques, and Who Can Benefit?

Physical Therapy: Benefits, Techniques, and Who Can Benefit? Physical therapy, sometimes referred to as physiotherapy, is a dynamic profession that involves understanding the depth and breadth of human movement. Whether you’re nursing a persistent backache or recovering from a surgery, physical therapy could be your path to pain-free living. But what exactly is it? What benefits can you expect? And how can EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC help you connect with the best physical therapist for your needs? What is Physical Therapy? Dr. James Andrews, an orthopedic surgeon who has treated numerous high-profile athletes, defines physical therapy as a healthcare profession that helps restore, maintain, or improve the physical ability and fitness level of individuals. This means your physical therapist is like your personal fitness trainer who can guide you through various exercises and lifestyle changes to recover from an injury or surgery, or manage chronic conditions like arthritis or heart disease. Interestingly, even the healthiest individuals can benefit from physiotherapy as it helps prevent potential injuries and promotes overall wellness. Benefits of Physical Therapy According to Dr. Karena Wu, physical therapy techniques and therapeutic exercises can help mobilize your joints and soft tissue, which can significantly alleviate pain or even eliminate it. Physical therapy could eliminate the need for surgery if it helps you overcome pain or recover from an injury. If surgery is required, pre-surgery physical therapy is beneficial. In many cases, people recover faster if they go into surgery stronger and in better shape. Struggling with standing, walking, or moving around regardless of your age? Physical therapy as Dr. Fritz, professor at the University of Utah explains can help improve mobility through targeted strengthening and flexibility exercises.  It’s common to lose some degree of function and movement after a stroke. Physical therapy strengthens weakened parts of the body and improves balance. Techniques Used in Physical Therapy Physical therapists deploy a variety of techniques based on the patient’s condition and needs. Some of these, as outlined by Dr. Greg Haff, a Professor of Strength and Conditioning at Edith Cowan University, include: Who Can Benefit from Physical Therapy? Everyone! However, it can be particularly beneficial for those with: Harnessing the Power of Technology: EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC At CloudClinic, we understand that accessing quality healthcare can be challenging, particularly in these trying times.

Navigating Vaccination Schedules for Your Child: A Guide for Nigerian Parents

Navigating Vaccination Schedules for Your Child: A Guide for Nigerian Parents Are you a parent in Nigeria? Then you’re most likely familiar with the juggling act that raising a child entails. There’s homework, science/art projects, visiting days, parent-teacher conferences, and a host of other duties. With everything going on, keeping track of your child’s vaccination schedule can seem like an overwhelming task. But don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be a daunting experience. In this blog, we’re going to explore the subject of childhood vaccinations and provide you with a simple, straightforward guide. Why Are Vaccinations Important? Let’s start with the basics. Vaccinations, a concept pioneered by Edward Jenner in the late 18th century, are a critical part of public health. You’ve probably heard of vaccinations, but why exactly are they essential? Vaccinations, also known as immunizations, protect your children from dangerous diseases by building up their immune systems. They work by introducing a weakened or inactivated form of the disease into the body. This process trains the immune system to recognize and fight off these harmful pathogens. With vaccines, we can prevent diseases that were once life-threatening, such as polio, measles, and whooping cough. Vaccination is a team effort; the more kids who get vaccinated, the better protected the entire community is. This phenomenon is called “herd immunity,” a term first used by veterinarian George Potter in 1917, and later adapted to human epidemiology by A. W. Hedrich in the 1930s. It’s especially important for protecting those who cannot receive vaccinations, like the immunocompromised or very young children. The vaccination schedule for your child is not random. Each vaccine is scheduled at a specific age to provide your child with the best possible protection. Some vaccines are given in a series of doses over time to ensure long-lasting immunity. If vaccines are given too early, too late, or not at all, your child could be at risk of getting a disease. For example, the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is typically given in two doses, first when your child is between 12 to 15 months old, and again between 4 and 6 years. Both doses are necessary for your child to be fully protected. Understanding the Vaccination Schedule Understanding your child’s vaccination schedule may seem like trying to understand a foreign language just because there are numerous acronyms and scientific terminologies involved. However, with some patience, you’ll soon be navigating this terrain with ease. Every country has a recommended immunisation schedule provided by their health authorities. In Nigeria, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) offers a clear and comprehensive vaccination schedule from birth up to adolescence. While we can’t cover every single vaccine in this blog, here’s a quick glance at some of the vital ones: Keep in mind, this isn’t a complete list, and schedules can vary depending on your child’s health and your location. Understanding the Vaccination Schedule It’s perfectly normal to have questions or concerns about your child’s vaccination schedule. As parents, we want to ensure we’re doing everything right for our little ones. That’s where specialists, known as paediatricians, come in. Paediatricians manage the health of your child, including physical, behaviour, and mental health issues. They’re also experts in childhood diseases and immunisations. Just before we conclude… The journey of parenthood is more of a marathon than a sprint. While managing your child’s vaccination schedule can seem like a daunting task, remember that it’s all part of the process, and you’re not alone. Vaccinations are one of the most powerful tools we have to safeguard our children. They not only protect your child but also contribute to community health. Remember to consult a specialist if you have any questions or concerns. Don’t wait! Download the My EBAL MEDICAL CLINIC app today, and talk to a Paediatrician about your child’s immunisation needs. Let us join you in ensuring your child grows up healthy and well-protected.

Townhall Page – Asthma

Days Hours Minutes Seconds Date June 24, 2023 Time 3:00PM The clock is ticking… Click Here To Register For Free Now. Are you or someone you know struggling with asthma? Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways, causing them to become inflamed and narrow. This can lead to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.  Wheezing is a common symptom of asthma and is characterized by a high-pitched whistling sound when breathing. It can occur during both inhalation and exhalation and can be a sign of an asthma attack.  Asthma treatment typically involves the use of inhalers, which deliver medication directly to the lungs. These medications help to reduce inflammation and open up the airways, making it easier to breathe.  The causes of asthma are not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some common triggers include allergies, respiratory infections, exercise, and exposure to irritants such as smoke or pollution.  There are several types of asthma, including allergic asthma, which is triggered by exposure to allergens such as pollen or pet dander; exercise-induced asthma, which is triggered by physical activity; and occupational asthma, which is caused by exposure to workplace irritants.  The clock is ticking… Click Here To Register For Free Now.
