Sleep and Athletes The benefits of good sleep come into particular focus for athletes. Post-exercise recovery with extra sleep accelerates the building of muscle, strength, and endurance. Without proper sleep, athletes suffer from poorer reaction times, longer recovery times, and worsened performance. How does sleep affect athletes? The amount of sleep an athlete gets impacts their reaction time, attention and focus, physical recovery and injury proneness. The body restores itself during sleep, so it is necessary for recovery from intense training. A person who is sufficiently well-rested will not waste any resources on staying awake or straining to stay focused and alert. Thus, their body and their mind can focus solely on their athletic performance. Sleep affects reaction time While getting a good night sleep does not necessarily affect aerobic capacity, even mild sleep deprivation  reduces reaction time. Insufficient sleep leads to fatigue, and even sm...

Theresa May  is sad now :( LONDON —  Boris Johnson, the tousle-haired leader of the Brexit campaign, became prime minister of the United Kingdom on Wednesday, promising — “no ifs or buts” — that Britain would leave the European Union in October. “The doubters, the doomsters, the gloomsters, they are going to get it wrong, again,” Johnson said in his first remarks outside 10 Downing Street. “The people who bet against Britain are going to lose their shirts, because we’re going to restore trust in our democracy.” Johnson declared, “I have every confidence that in 99 days’ time we will have cracked it” and be able to exit the E.U. with “a new deal, a better deal.”  He implicitly blamed his predecessor, Theresa May, for failing in that challenge. “After three years of unfounded self-doubt, it is time to change the record,” he said. “To recover our natural and historic role as an enterprising, outward-looking and truly global Britain, generous in temper and ...

How does Food affect your Metabolism In scientific term, metabolism is the chemical process that occurs in a living organism in order to maintain life. Metabolism has three main functions in the body. First of all, its main function is to convert food/fuel for cellular process. The second function of metabolism is to convert food into building blocks such as proteins, fats, lipids and carbohydrates. The last function is to remove nitrogenous waste from the body. The word metabolism can also refer to the sum of all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, including digestion and the transport of substances into and between different cells. However, in general a slow metabolic rate means your body absorbs more and makes you heavy. People with a fast metabolism don’t gain so much after eating much.
