THE GODS OF SLEEP

 

Most people think that good sleep is a gift from the gods and if the gods don't smile favorably on you, TOUGH! Not true. You will sleep well and wake up refreshed if you practice good sleep hygiene. This means getting to bed at a regular time, limiting caffeine intake and reserving the bedroom for sleeping. The last one is tough. It takes will power, big time, because you have to ban your ipad/lap top/smart phone from the bedroom and forgo late night TV like The Daily Show. If these basics don't work, keep in mind poor sleep is often a symptom of something else like anxiety or depression. Worth checking in with your doc at that point. Oh and don't blame your lousy sleep on getting older. This recent study debunks that myth. The bottom line, you have sleep problems, you can fix it.    

 

 

 

Protein options on a vegetarian diet.

Several emails regarding my answer yesterday on Soy as a supplement.  I was  talking about the supplement not soya beans/tofu which of course is a wonderful source of plant protein. There are lots of other protein options on a vegetarian diet including legumes e.g. chick peas, lentils, nuts like almonds and walnuts. Best to use a combo and be careful, it's easy to put on weight with things like nuts - 60% of their calories come from fat. Finally, vitamin supplements are a must on a strict vegetarian or vegan diet especially vitamin B12 and if you live where the sun doesn't shine a lot like Ireland, vitamin D.

THE SHOW TODAY SUNDAY MARCH 4TH

Special time today 12 to 1 PM because of the clippers game. On the show at noon, should your doctor visit be a feel good experience? Should she tell you if you're obese, hitting the booze too much or your sexual behavior is risky? The last one is for real. There is a billing code "risky sexual behavior". Also an email question from Victor Ricafort on back pain, a Facebook question from Lorraine on soy and of course your calls. 

                       DR. CHAMBERS ON CALL 12 - 1 PM TODAY ONLY ON KFWB NEWS TALK 980

                                                THE NUMBER TO CALL IS 888 539 2980.

NOT YOUR MOM'S IUD

As I mentioned on last week's show the currently available IUD's are radically different and safer than the one's available back in the day. This is a great article and sums up all you need to know. IUD's are extremely effective in preventing pregnancy, better than the birth control pill, BUT do not protect against STD's. If you're not in a monogamous relationship condoms are still an additional must.

CONTRACEPTIVES & COST

This article on contraception is a must read for every couple. Three quick points: IUD's and hormonal implants are virtually 100% effective, today's IUD is not your mom's and don't forget safe sex. If you're not in a monogamous relationship you still must use a condom even if e.g. you have an IUD. You gotta protect yourself. STD's are still out there. I treat them every week. More on the show today at the top of the hour.

Dr. Chambers on Call, KFWB News Talk 980, 4-5 PM today.
