When it comes to sleep, I subscribe to the “listen to your body” mindset. I’m a freelance writer, meaning I can go to bed whenever I want and wake up either on my own or whenever my emergency alarm finally jolts me awake (assuming I remembered to set one). There’s little consistency, and I feel little shame in hitting the snooze button five times. I’ve never really questioned my process—even though I regularly fall victim to a presleep toss-and-turn and wake up feeling sluggish. After talking to Jade Wu, PhD, a board-certified behavioral sleep medicine specialist and author of the new book Hello Sleep, I’m inspired to make my sleep habits a little more routine. A consistent sleep-wake schedule, Dr. Wu tells SELF, is incredibly important when it comes not only to sleeping soundly at night, but keeping a number of body functions—like digestion, hormone regulation, and body temperature—in check. One simple way to get into a groove of sleeping better: Wake up at the same time every morning. “The reason you want to get up around the same time every day is because the body functions best when it runs consistently on a rhythm,” Dr. Wu says. Here’s why it’s a great idea for so many health and happiness reasons (regardless of whether you actually have to)—plus how to make it happen if you’ re getting sleepy just thinking about it. Waking up at the same time each morning can help you sleep better at night—and make it easier to get out of bed in the morning. Waking up at the same time each morning can help you sleep better at night—and make it easier to get out of bed in the morning. Your body clock, or circadian rhythm, is the system that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. It’s heavily dependent on clues from your environment, says Dr. Wu, which is why light makes you feel alert and awake, and why you start to feel sleepy around dusk. The light you see when you wake up essentially tells your body it’s morning, meaning it’s time to get out of bed and start your day. By opening your eyes like clockwork every morning, you’re essentially programming your body for better sleep. “Consistently having that light cue at the same time in the morning will go a really long way in anchoring your 24-hour clock,” Dr. Wu says. Over time, your body will automatically know when to release melatonin—a hormone that induces sleepiness—at night and when to stop producing it in the morning, she explains, which can make it easier to both fall asleep at night and wake up ready to go in the morning. Inconsistent wake-up times can really mess with your body clock. If you wake up at different times each day—or even if you keep a pretty consistent sleep schedule during the week but sleep in every weekend—your brain will get confused and start to release melatonin at weird hours. It’s kind of like constantly traveling to different time zones and getting jet-lagged, Dr. Wu explains. If your wake-up times are all over the place, it’ll likely be harder to get a good night’s sleep, she says, and you may have issues concentrating the next day.

About Urotone 25 Tablet 10's
Urotone 25 Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called ‘Cholinergic agents’ used to treat urinary retention (holding urine in the bladder) due to surgery, childbirth, or bladder muscle problems.
The Urotone 25 Tablet 10's contains ‘bethanechol’ that helps treat the inability to urinate by acting on the bladder muscles. It contracts the detrusor muscle (a bladder muscle) pushing the urine out of the bladder, thus starting the urination process and emptying it.
Urotone 25 Tablet 10's is available in two dosage forms: oral tablet and injection. It is advised to swallow the tablet as a whole with a glass of water. You should not crush, chew, or break the tablets. A healthcare professional administers the injection, so do not self-administer.

[ Wonder Drink 'The wellness Tea' that gets invited. ]
India is the world's second-largest tea producer.
In case you were wondering, the Tea Board of India states that only products with a minimum of 70% tea leaves can actually call themselves teas.
That distinction does not trouble consumers much, as exotic and herbal infusions are the most dynamic part of the market.
"This is the space where there is the most excitement in the tea business," says Tea Board chairman Prabhat Bezboruah.
It is a competitive business, he points out: "It's a fact that most of these start-ups will close down soon after inception, but the few that survive have a shot at becoming the next unicorn [a company with a billion dollar valuation] given the huge popularity and product acceptance that tea has."
So what is the key to success?
"The consumer is looking for a novel presentation of this traditional beverage. Being able to position one's product exactly in this space and being able to fulfil the expectations aroused in the consumer's mind will determine the success of the brand," says Mr Bezboruah.
That is what husband and wife, Ranjit and Dolly Sharma Baruah are hoping for. They started their tea firm, Aromica, in 2018 and source tea from smaller plantations and then blend it with exotic plants and flowers, that are traditionally said to have health benefits.
Aromica founder Ranjit Baruah hopes to create a niche in the so-called "wellness market"
The firm's blends include ghost chilli and black tea, which they recommend for coughs and colds, and which they say has been selling well during the Covid pandemic.
Aromica also mixes butterfly pea flower with green tea, to create a blue-coloured, caffeine-free drink.
Such exotic blends appeal to health-conscious consumers who are buying products based on their perceived health benefits. Those are the shoppers that have powered the so-called "wellness industry".
"The wellness sector is an up and coming sector and health drinks have an important place in this business," says Mr Baruah.
"We thought, why not try and explore this market? as it gave us ample opportunities."
Aromica is pushing to come up with innovative tea blends.
The wellness sector is not particularly new and the established tea giants have also moved in, including Tata Tea - India's second biggest tea brand.
"Consumers are more open to trying out new experiences and blends, and are choosing premium products," says Tata, which has been investing in its Good Earth and Teapigs brands, as well as expanding the Tata range in India.
With bigger firms moving in, the smaller start-ups know they have to supply something different to stay ahead of their competitors.
Mrs Nongthombam hoped that means that a lifetime spent gathering wild produce will be useful for many years to come.
"It was a lucky day in the market when I met Elizabeth. She immediately knew my strength and hired me. Now I am paid and appreciated for my hard work. It's been a turning point in my life."

New Study Reveals: Cinnamon Lowers Blood Sugar
High levels of blood sugar can lead to some serious
health problems. The human body naturally has sugar,
or glucose, in the blood. The right amount of blood
sugar gives the body’s cells and organs energy.
But too much of it can be dangerous and, in extreme
cases cause diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure,
and more. A recent study has confirmed a possible,
very accessible solution for those struggling to
manage their blood sugar levels.
The research, published in the Journal of the
Endocrine Society, found that cinnamon, in large
doses over time, could help improve measures of
blood sugar control.
The study was conducted in both Joslin Diabetes Center
in Boston and the Korean Medicine Clinical Trial Center
in Seoul and involved 51 participants from both
countries. Half of them received a supplement
containing 500 milligrams of cinnamon three times a day for 12
weeks, while the other half received a placebo. After
6 weeks, all subjects reported for a check-in, and
there were no significant differences
between the groups. At the 12 week check-in,
however, the patients that took the cinnamon
supplement showed significant improvements in measures
of blood sugar control.New Study Reveals: Cinnamon
Lowers Blood Sugar sticks.
What cinnamon does, essentially, is either imitate the
effects of insulin and increase glucose transport into
cells, or increase insulin sensitivity, and thus making it more effective at
transporting the glucose.
The findings of the current study support similar
evidence from a previous study, that found that the
intake of large doses of cinnamon over several months
is linked to stable blood sugar levels, with no
apparent side effects, in people with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic
illnesses, affecting as many as 460 million adults
around the world.
Moreover, according to the CDC, about 1 in 3 adults in
the US has a condition called Pre diabetes where blood
sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough
yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. If left
unchecked and untreated, Pre diabetes is likely to
progress and become diabetes.

with cinnamon The purpose of investigating cinnamon’s
potential, according to the researches, was to find a
safe,long-term, affordable treatment to
prevent prediabetes from turning into a more serious
disease. More evidence is still needed, but if cinnamon continues to prove
useful it could be an accessible and simple alternative to expensive
or side-effect prone diabetes treatments.
Cinnamon has various other health benefits, which

10 Health Benefits of Cinnamon.If you are interested
in taking cinnamon as a supplement, regardless of
suffering from diabetes, it’s best to consult
your doctor first. Unless you have liver damage, it
should be perfectly OK to enjoy cinnamon in your food.
