Police dispatcher, former Ross County corrections officer charged with animal cruelty – Chillicothe Gazette

Sarge, a 5-year-old German shepherd, was placed in the care of the Ross County Humane Society after he was found to be 47 pounds. He is currently in the care of an employee and is awaiting more test results until he can be adopted.(Photo: Provided by the Ross County Humane Society)

CHILLICOTHE A former Ross County corrections officer and current dispatcher for the Greenfield Police Department is facing charges related to animal cruelty in Chillicothe.

Jessica M.Malone, 22, of 767 Hopetown Road, is charged with failure to license and two cruelty charges of torture and failure to provide medical care in a timely manner. All are misdemeanor charges.The charges stem from Malone's alleged treatment of her 5-year-oldGerman shepherd, Sarge, who was discovered nearly 30 pounds underweight.

"There is no reasonable explanation for letting a dog become in this condition," said Ross County Humane Society Director Jenn Thomas. "There is no reason that I can think of that one would wait until their dog has almost no body fat, every rib showing and collapsing to seek out medical care."

On Nov. 11, Malone took Sarge to Tharp Animal Health Care Center in Chillicothe after she allegedly told veterinarian staff that he had suddenly collapsed. Malone also allegedly claimed that Sarge's weight loss had occurred over two days and she was in the process of switching food to encourage him to eat. After examining the dog, Dr. Thomas Tharp called the Ross County Humane Society over concerns about Sarge's current physical state and potential neglect, according toThomas.

Nearly 30 pounds underweight, Sarge, a German shepherd, rests after he was rescued by the Ross County Humane Society. Shelter staff had to create makeshift slings to help the dog walk because he was too weak to do so on his own.(Photo: Provided by the Ross County Humane Society)

At the time of the appointment, Sarge weighed only 47 pounds and could not stand on his own. The veterinarian's office advised that there was no medical reason for the dog to be in such poor body condition and the Ross County Dog Warden took possession of Sarge with the intention to proceed with cruelty charges.

Sarge remained at Dr. Tharp's office under medical supervision until Nov. 13. At that point, he was still unable to walk or stand on his own. The humane society took Sarge to North Fork Animal Clinic for a second opinionand for documentation as the charges were pending against Malone.

Thomas said that at the second vet's office, bloodwork, x-Rays and more physical examinations were performed. All of which found there was no immediate medical reason for Sarge's body condition.The Ross County Humane Society was able to confirm with a canine trainer that Sarge was being trained by him to become a search and rescue dog. He was scheduled to take his certification this week.

"It is our opinion that this did not occur over the span of two to three days. This was long term, improper care," Thomas said. "The fact that [Malone] has never once owned a dog but was training this one to be a search and rescue animal despite never taking him to the vet is also very concerning and very out of the ordinary for trained service animals."

Malone allegedly told the veterinarian that the dog lost weight three days before she took him to be looked at.However, she was told by the trainer prior to that that Sarge was looking thin and she should go see if a vet if his weight loss continued. Malone allegedly admitted that since she had obtained the dog, believed to be in May, he had never been examined by a veterinarian.

Sarge is currently being fostered by an employee of the Ross County Humane Society. After only two days on a prescription food refeeding program which consists of 1/4 cup of food every two hours so that the body does not become overwhelmed by overeating Sarge was able to walk on his own, use the bathroom, respond to commands and eat. Since he was taken in, Sarge has gained about 10 pounds.

"Weare unsure of what long-term damage has been done both physically and mentally as a result of his lack of appropriate medical care and emaciation and we are unsure of what his personality is going to be like once he has recovered," Thomas said. "He is currently exhibiting some concerning behavior towards his caretakers, but we are going to allow him time to fully recover to make sure that he will be healthy and safe to adopt out.We often do not see the true dogs personality when they are sick and as they recover, we are better able to assess them for behavioral soundness."

The Ross County Humane Society was contacted Nov. 11 by a local vet regarding an emaciation case. Sarge, a German shepherd, is supposed to weigh at least 75 pounds. When he was rescued, he weighed 47 pounds.(Photo: Provided by the Ross County Humane Society)

Malone is currently employed as a dispatcher with the Greenfield Police Department, whichconfirmed her job status. They did not comment as to if Malone will face disciplinary actions but stated that Sarge is not affiliated with the police department. Captain Mike Preston with the Ross County Sheriff's Office confirmed Malone was employed as a corrections officer in the jail from May 2018 to July 2019 and from January 2020 to August 2020.

The Ross County Humane Society has spent over $1,200 to provide care for Sarge but Thomas said they're still awaiting the final bill from both veterinarian offices. The Ross County Humane Society has already raised over $4,000 to help cover the costs of care.

Sarge is not currently available for adoption and Thomas believes it will be some time before the case is able to go to court. To see other dogs available for adoption, please visithttps://www.rosscountyhumanesociety.org/.

Malone is set to appear in courtDec. 4

Health Addiction Functional Supplements Coming to America as Americans Are More Focused on Health Than Ever Before – GlobeNewswire

PALM BEACH, FL, Nov. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Many Americans increased their usage of dietary supplements since the pandemic began earlier this year.

People are more concerned about their health today and are looking for proactive steps to take to stay healthy, said Nathaly Marcus, founder and nutritionist for Health Addiction, a wellness company in Mexico City. Americans are looking for the best dietary supplements that will keep them healthy.

The Council for Responsible Nutritions annual survey showed that more than 70 percent of Americans take dietary supplements for the fourth consecutive year.

The CRN survey also showed that 43 percent of dietary supplement users have changed their routine this year, Marcus said. An astonishing 91 percent of these people have increased their supplement intake.

People are looking for any health advantage they can give themselves, she added.

Marcus, the first functional nutritionist in Mexico, thinks this growing addiction to health is a good long-term trend.

I founded Health Addiction in Mexico because I want people to get addicted to living healthy lives, Marcus said. I developed functional dietary supplements to help people stay healthy.

Marcus understands the importance of dietary supplements because traditional medicine failed her twin daughters when they were born premature with various health problems.

Traditional therapies and drugs did not help my daughters, who started having seizures when they were 11 months old, Marcus said. I came to America to search for alternative holistic therapies to help them.

With the help of a holistic doctor, Marcus returned home with a regimen of supplements and changes to her daughters diets.

For the first time, I saw my girls smile, relax, sleep, and crawl, Marcus said, adding that her daughters are now 24 years old and healthy.

Marcus eventually founded Health Addiction and developed functional supplements that could help other people. Now, Health Addiction plans to introduce eight popular functional supplements to American consumers:

We decided earlier this year to export our flagship products to America, Marcus said. We believe the high quality of our supplements and their potential health benefits will appeal to American consumers.

Before you cook that Thanksgiving bird, be aware of GERD – Lexington Dispatch

Page Leggett| The Dispatch

Friends and family may soon wish you Happy Thanksgiving, but its likely no one other than a gastroenterologist will wish you a Happy GERD Awareness Week. And yet, the two holidays coincide. Coincidence?

Perhaps not.

GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, can cause an unpleasant burning sensation in the chest. Its often associated with overeating a time-honored tradition on Turkey Day. GERD is incredibly common; it affects one in five adults in America. And its symptoms often go unrecognized and undiagnosed.

Some traditional Thanksgiving foods exacerbate GERD symptoms. So, what better time to look into GERDs causes, symptoms and treatments? We checked with Alysse Riggs, a registered dietitian at Novant Health Diabetes & Nutrition in Thomasville,to get the scoop on GERD.

What exactly is GERD?

GERD is gastroesophageal reflux disease. Basically, its when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus.

What does that feel like? Can somebody tell when thats happening?

Its uncomfortable. You'll sometimes hear people say they feel a burning in the chest kind of like heartburn, which is actually one symptom of GERD. Sometimes itll be chest pain, or people might have difficulty swallowing. There can be chronic coughing or a chronic sore throat associated with itas well.

Is it the same thing as acid reflux?

No, but acid reflux can progress to GERD.

Who is susceptible to it?

People who are obese are more susceptible. Pregnant women are susceptible. Sometimes things like a hiatal hernia can cause GERD. And smokers can also be susceptible. It occurs in men and women, and it can occur in childrentoo.

Aside from being uncomfortable, are there long-term dangers associated with it?

It can lead to long-term difficulty with swallowing. Over time, if its uncontrolled, it can actually damage the esophagus, which can lead to more serious conditions like ulcers, bleeding of the esophagus and sometimes even cancer.

Does it happen during a meal? Right after a meal?

It could happen during a meal. Butmost people will complain about experiencing it following a meal. Its related to the digestion process. It can even wake you up at night.

Are certain foods likely to trigger it?

Oh, definitely high-fat foods, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, citrus. Sometimes onions. Definitely spicy foods as well.

Any Thanksgiving foods that could be triggers?

The biggest culprit with Thanksgiving is overeating. Also, alcohol intake, which may be higher during the holidays, and then high-fat foods things like desserts, casseroles, gravy, sauces and fried foods.

Prevention is generally the best medicine, so what can we do to reduce the risk of GERD?

Portion control is definitely a big one. Think about slowing down the eating pace. People can develop a better understanding of what fullness feels like.

Consider alternatives lower-fat cooking methods, for instance. Or instead of mashed potatoes made with heavy cream and gravy on top, you could do something like oven-roasted potatoes. Instead of green bean casserole topped with fried onions, try sauted green beans.

Do you have any healthy Thanksgiving recipes to share?

I do. Theres an awesome website I go to a lot skinnytaste.com. I recommend their lightened-up green bean casserole and bite-sized pecan tarts.

If somebody were to lose weight, eat healthier and get more active, could GERD go away on its own?

Yes, there are definitely some people who can alleviate GERD with lifestyle changes, weight loss, increased activity level, things like that. There are some over-the-counter treatments that can help manage symptoms. But there are times you may need additional medical treatment, including prescription drugs.

And would that start with their primary care doctor?

Yes, definitely.

MJ Wixsom: Heartworms are serious pet threat – The Tribune – Ironton Tribune

The recent rains have produced swarms of mosquitos.

Getting the pups out of the truck, I paused and slapped my arm.

Three mosquitoes died from the single slap, with two that had fresh blood.

As I removed them from my arm, I thought it would be a banner year for mosquito-borne diseases and heartworms.

But in an exam room last week, I gave my lesson on heartworms and heartworm preventative to a client.

Then I listened to the client discuss that they did not want to put their pets on heartworm preventative.

I know that there are different levels of care that people want for different pet and that money is often an issue and I let it go.

But later that night, I realized that many clients dont really understand why their dog needs heartworm medication.

Heartworm disease starts when a mosquito bites an infected dog. The microfilaria is taken up with the blood and move to the mosquito kidneys for two weeks of growth.

The slightly larger larvae are then deposited on the skin when the mosquito bites again.

The larvae quickly burrow into the skin and the capillaries of the skin. (By the way, over seventy species of mosquitos can transmit heartworm larvae.)

Once back into a dog (or ferret or cat), the larvae grow and molt and grow and molt again.

They outgrow the capillaries and start moving to the heart and lungs. The worms can be ten to fourteen inches long by the time they are living in the ventricles of the heart.

The foot-long worms then get together, mate and have babies. (The males can be differentiated from the females by a corkscrew shaped tail that holds on to the female to assist in mating.) These babies are picked up by a mosquito and the cycle starts all over again.

Cats, ferrets, foxes and some other animals all can get heartworms, but they may have some natural immunity that makes them not as susceptible.

Coyotes get heartworms about as often as dogs. (When I was in vet school, I concurrently worked on my masters degree and studied over 500 coyotes and foxes for heartworm prevalence. I received research awards and presented at national conferences.)

A foot-long worm in a small pet heart is bad news.

Heartworms damage the lining of the lungs and cause thrombotic events (clots) and granulomas due to dead or dying worms.

The constant cracking the whip motion of the worms in the blood vessels cause the pulmonary vessels to become thickened and tortuous.

The worms cause the valves to leak causing a reduction in cardiac output and pulmonary hypertension. The right side of the heart enlarges and can fail.

Although in the early stages a pet can look normal, severe or long term infections can cause coughing, difficulty breathing, weight loss, abdominal fluid retention, exercise intolerance and arrhythmias.

It can also damage the kidneys by a secondary antigen-antibody complex deposition.

Sometimes the worms get lost and are in strange places in the body. I removed a heartworm from the anterior chamber of an eye once.

Although it is very rare in our area, sometimes there are so many worms that the pet goes into caval syndrome. Worms cause enough problems with circulation that the heart beats too rapidly for the heart to fill and blood does not circulate. Sudden collapse and death can occur.

But most of the time, we find dogs are positive on a simple blood test at the annual exam.

And to be fair, more often we see tick-borne diseases than heartworm disease.

So, owners think that it is not important. After all, whipworms and hookworms can kill pets and fleas are bad. When we notice a problem, we treat the animal and they are all better.

But heartworms are different. When intestinal parasites die, they just move out with the poop. When fleas die, we give the pet a bath or vacuum.

When heartworms die, their graveyard is the lungs. The tiny white blood cells must clean up the foot-long worms. This is not an easy or quick procedure. If not done carefully, the patient may still die even after (or during) treatment. Not to mention, the drug is somewhat expensive (think hundreds of dollars.)

So, while it is okay to wait until you have fleas to treat them, heartworms really need to be prevented or killed while they are under the skin and tiny.

Prevention, not treatment. Especially, this peak mosquito year. Get your dog tested, get them on preventative and miss the expense and scare of heartworm treatment.

Malaysians Overconfident On Their Personal Knowledge Wind Up Scoring Lowest On Nutrition Myth Survey – The Rakyat Post

Subscribe to TRPs Telegram channel for the latest stories and updates.

Ah the Internet, a great way for one to access a plethora of nutritional information. So convenient and fast!

Unfortunately, it also comes with a high amount of myths and misinformation that might endanger the lives of the general public.

According to the Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific (APAC) Nutrition Myths Survey 2020, Malaysia has scored the third highest in having personal confidence about nutritional knowledge.

However, that confidence is misplaced as the country has also scored the least in answering nutrition-related questions.

The survey and quiz were conducted in March 2020 with 55,000 respondents from Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea , Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

The survey included 48 True or False questions such as general weight management, breakfast, general nutrition, protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and caffeine.

Here are some myths debunked by the Herbalife Nutrition Asia Pacific (APAC) Nutrition Myths Survey 2020.

Fact: It is important to note that fasting does not help everyone lose weight, specifically those with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes.

Those on medication for blood pressure or heart disease should avoid intermittent fasting unless they discuss this with their health care provider.

This avoids their blood glucose levels from decreasing and it reduces the risk of electrolyte abnormalities.

Fact: As we age, we may experience a gradual, progressive loss of muscle mass and function otherwise known as sarcopenia.

Fortunately, this process could be weakened by boosting our protein intake while also incorporating resistance exercise as part of our daily routine.

Fact: Caffeine is a natural compound which gives the central nervous system a bolt of energy, this compound can also be found in cocoa beans which are used to make chocolate.

The darker the chocolate, the higher the amount of caffeine. Caffeine is also found in guarana plants and these are often added to beverages.

However, the guarana plant is packed with antioxidants and it provides a gentle boost of energy to keep one energized throughout the day.

Fact: Our peak bone mass ( max bone size and strength) is dependent on our calcium intake and reaches its peak as we turn 30.

However, sufficient calcium intake throughout our life could reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Calcium supplementation can protect against bone loss at older ages, especially for post-menopausal women with naturally higher calcium needs.

Fact: Our body already has its own way of removing toxins from various organs such as the lungs and kidneys.

However, there are ways for us to improve the bodys natural detoxification system which includes getting quality sleep, drinking more water, decreasing our salt intake and being more active.

Fact: Studies have shown minimal weight loss after the first year from very low-fat diets, making it an ineffective long-term weight loss strategy.

Our bodies need some fat to stay healthy, as it helps build cell membranes and hormones while aiding absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Fact: The Glycemic Index measures how carbs in food impact our blood sugar levels, but it cannot be completely relied on when choosing a healthy diet.

The amount of carbs and what it is being eaten with also need consideration.

Fact: Protein powder can be as good as protein from natural foods if derived from high-quality sources.

For example, soy protein from soybeans is a complete protein and it provides a full range of 9 essential amino acids for the bodys nutrition requirements.

According to Steven Chin, General Manager and Director of Herbalife Nutrition Malaysia, the widespread presence of nutrition myths on the Internet had led to a widespread of confusion over nutrition facts.

To help heighten the nutrition knowledge among Malaysians, we have been working closely with the Nutrition Society of Malaysia to promote accurate knowledge on food and nutrition.

We hope that consumers will be better informed in the long run and help Malaysians lead healthier lives he finished.

Over 4 Billion People May Be Overweight By 2050: Study; Follow These 10 Tips For Weight Loss That Won’t Fail – Doctor NDTV

Avoid eating processed food to prevent being overweight

Weight loss: Here's a shocking piece of news. As many as four billion people are likely to be overweight by 2050. 1.5 billion of these people are likely to be obese, if the current global dietary trends towards processed foods continues. Experts from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) warned of health and environmental crisis of "mind-blowing magnitude" and said that the global food demand would increase by 50% by 2050. It was predicted that 16% of the population will be obese, as compared to 9% currently among 29% of the population who are overweight.

"The increasing waste of food and the rising consumption of animal protein mean that the environmental impact of our agricultural system will spiral out of control," said Benjamin Bodirsky, lead author of the study published in Nature Scientific Reports.

Time and again, nutritionists and health experts have advised to follow a healthy lifestyle as an effective way to prevent getting obese or overweight. Here are some tips that can help:

1. Eat homemade food for most, if not all of your meals. Home-cooked food is devoid of additional flavours, trans fat and other adulterants that are usually found in processed, packaged, junk and fast food.

2. Avoid following fad diets or diets that are restrictive in nature. They may help you lose weight in the short-term, but can cause nutritional deficiencies in the long-term.

3. Make sure your diet is well-balanced and diverse, and includes all food groups: carbs, protein, fats and fibre. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, lentils, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains on a daily basis.

4. Eat according to your locality and culture, and eat seasonal foods. This is an effective way to facilitate diversity in your diet, as recommended by celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar.

5. Eat small and frequent meals and practice portion control. Delhi-based Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal says that it can help in preventing unnecessary cravings and keep you satiated and energised throughout the day.

6. Avoid refined sugar in all forms. Enjoy festivities, celebrations and holidays but do not overeat. Stick to healthier sugar alternatives like honey, dates, coconut sugar and jaggery on regular days.

7. Exercise regularly and be physically active. Avoid long hours of sitting. For every 30 minutes of sitting, stand straight on both your feet for 3 minutes. Do moderate-intensity exercise for 30 minutes every day or minimum five days a week.

8. Make sure you sleep well at night. Not sleeping well at night or being sleep deprived can be problematic for you in several ways. It can interfere with your weight loss goals, increase your cravings and make you feel tired and fatigued all day.

9. Stay hydrated and drink lots of water and other hydrating drinks like lemon water or coconut water. Being hydrated is important to maintain electrolyte balance in the body. It also helps in preventing constipation and other digestion-related issues, and can also prevent headache and fatigue.

10. Take less stress. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalance which can wreak havoc on your health. Lifestyle coach Luke Coutinho recommends practicing yoga and meditation. He also says that you must avoid giving a reaction to every stressful situation that you come across.

Healthy Living: Learn the symptoms to help detect pancreatic cancer – Norwich Bulletin

By Dr. Alejandro Carvajal, For The Bulletin| The Bulletin

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, about 57,600 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year. What you learn about pancreatic cancer todaymight help you or a loved one with the disease tomorrow.

The pancreas is a gland in the abdomen, located behind the stomach and in front of the spine, which is responsible for our bodys digestion and blood sugar regulation. Pancreatic cancer begins when abnormal cells within the pancreas grow out of control and form a tumor.

A major challenge with this condition is that it often goes undetected because symptoms rarely occur until advanced stages of the disease. And, with no standard diagnostic tool or established early detection method for pancreatic cancer, its difficult to diagnose early.

The good news is that if its caught early, pancreatic cancer is curable. When diagnosed in its more treatable stages, patients may be eligible for surgery, which offers the best chance for controlling the disease long-term. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is often found too late when surgery is no longer an option.

The key to early detection is being aware of risk factors and symptoms of pancreatic cancer. Since symptoms can be vague or not show until cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body, there typically arent any early signs.

Even once the cancer has grown, the most common symptoms can be subtle. These include: pain (usually abdomen or back), weight loss, yellowing of the skin/eyes (jaundice), loss of appetite, nausea, stool changes, pancreatitis, and recent-onset diabetes.

There are several established risk factors for pancreatic cancer, but the most important is cigarette smoking. Smokers are twice as likely to develop the disease. Other significant risk factors are obesity and environmental, including heavy exposure to certain chemicals such as petroleum compounds, solvents, dyes, and metal refining chemicals. Family history, diet, race, gender, age, diabetes, and pancreatitis can also determine ones risk.

Research studies have identified some genetic factors that may increase a persons risk for developing pancreatic cancer. This is especially significant if the individual has multiple family members who have had cancer at a young age.

Lifestyle changes and overall health approaches may reduce your risk including quitting smoking, drinking less, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Pancreatic cancer may cause only vague symptoms, but if you experience one or more of the above unexplained symptoms that are abnormal and persist, its time to see your physician. Remember, early detection saves lives.

Sleep deprivation effects: 5 things that happen to your body when you don’t get enough sleep – T3

We all know that smoking is bad for your health. Not to mention drinking too much alcohol, and eating too much fatty food. But have you ever seen a national campaign warning people about the dangers of sleep deprivation? Us neither, but the uncomfortable truth is that lack of sleep can do major damage to your health.

In general, people need between seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Any less, and youre increasing your chances of suffering from conditions including high blood pressure and heart disease. Yet how many of us actually get that amount of sleep on a regular basis?

Worryingly, many of us think of sleep like a bank overdraft. We can miss a couple of hours here and there on weeknights, say, and catch up by having a Sunday lie-in, right? Wrong! In fact, research suggests it can take up to four days for your body to recover from a single hour of lost sleep. So if anything, it's more like having an overdraft where you get charged 50 for going overdrawn by 10.

But heres the good news. With so many of us working from home right now, we have a fresh opportunity to reorganise our schedules, and ensure we build in time for a decent sleep, night after night (monitor your efforts with one of the best sleep trackers). And just in case you need further motivation, in this article we look at five effects of sleep deprivation you may not know about.

Struggling to sleep? A new sleep setup might help and right now there are some excellent Black Friday mattress deals to take advantage of. Head to our best mattress guide for our recommendations.

When we get sick, we rely on our immune system to fight back against the infection and make us well again. Research shows, however, that lack of sleep damages its ability to do so. For example, in one study, researchers took blood samples from 11 pairs of identical twins with different sleep patterns. They discovered that the twin who slept least had the most depressed immune system of the two.

This occurs because sleep is when our bodies both produces and releases cytokines: a class of small proteins that play a vital part in the immune process. Without them, your body is less able to fight off infections such as a cold, flu or Covid-19, even if youve received a vaccine. So youre more likely to catch something nasty, and when you do, itll take longer to recover. Scary stuff.

Studies show that people who sleep less than seven hours a day tend to gain more weight and have a higher risk of becoming obese than those who get more time in bed. This is because the bodies of sleep-deprived people have lower levels of leptin, a chemical that makes you feel full once youve eaten, as well as higher levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger.

This effect is surprisingly fast acting. For example, one study found that one week of sleeping about five hours a night led participants to gain an average of two pounds in weight.

The good news is that it works both ways: increasing the amount you sleep can help you lose weight. In another study, 472 obese adults took part in a six-month weight loss programme. The researchers found that people who slept between six and eight hours a night had a greater chance of achieving their weight-loss goal than those who slept less.

(Image credit: PhotoPhotoMIX Company from Pexels)

A large body of research suggests that people who usually sleep less than eight hours a night have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (see this study for example). Thats because ongoing sleep deprivation means your body secretes more stress hormones, such as cortisol, which helps you stay awake. Unfortunately, this makes it harder for the hormone insulin to do its job properly in regulating our bodys blood sugar levels.

This creates a vicious circle with the effect we noted above, where poor sleep increases your appetite and leads you to eat more fatty and sugar foods. This too will mess with your insulin and blood sugar levels, leading to a double whammy when it comes to the risk of getting Type-2 diabetes.

Everyone gets crabby after a poor nights sleep. But the long term effects of continuous sleep deprivation can be much more serious when it comes to your mental wellbeing, causing or heightening conditions such as depression and anxiety.

Thats because sleep isnt just about renewing our physical body, its also about recharging our brains and sorting through all the complex emotions we experience on a daily basis. REM sleep in particular appears to be especially important to processing painful and difficult memories, gradually blunting their sting and preventing us from reliving them over and over again, at least to the same level of intensity. Lack of sleep, though, stops our brains from doing this so well.

The consequences of this can be wide ranging. For instance, one study found that sleep deprived people experience more negative thoughts, while another suggested they feel less grateful for their romantic partners.

(Image credit: Vera Arsic from Pexels)

Lowered sex drive is one of the less talked-about consequences of poor sleep, but its very real. Thats because, as we mentioned earlier, a lack of sleep leads to the release of cortisol, which reduces the production of testosterone production. (Although many people assume testosterone is just a male thing, its actually important to the sex drive of both men and women.)

One study, looking at 171 college-age women, found that an extra hour of sleep per night led to a 14% increase in the likelihood the women had sex the following day. The good news is that you dont need to have silly amounts of sleep to make a difference: those women who reported improved sex drives slept for an average of just seven hours 22 minutes per night.
