Southeast Asia Faces Both Increased Pollution and Temperatures
Southeast Asia, Faces Both Increased , Pollution and Temperatures.
NBC reports that the combination of a brutal
heat wave and concerning levels of air
pollution has struck Southeast Asia.
.
According to experts, the combo
has the potential to make an already
dangerous situation even deadlier.
In the past week,
both Vietnam and Laos
have recorded all-time highs.
.
NBC reports that thick smog combined with
high temperatures can result in an increase in
respiratory, cardiovascular and kidney diseases.
When you have both these exposures
— and especially extremes of these
exposures — their combined effect
is more than the sum of their parts, Erika Garcia, environmental epidemiologist at the University
of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, via NBC.
According to a study published in the 'American Journal of
Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine,' a combination of high
temperatures and air pollution increases the risk of death by 21%.

Heat will cause the blood vessels
to dilate and air pollution will increase
inflammation in the lungs and throughout
the body, so this can further increase
the risk of heart attacks, strokes
and other cardiovascular events, Rajesh Kumar, project scientist with the National Center
for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, via NBC.
According to Rajesh Kumar, a project scientist with
the National Center for Atmospheric Research in
Colorado, these health impacts present a global concern.

NBC reports that ongoing greenhouse gas emissions
and more frequent and severe heat waves caused by
global warming could trigger a public health crisis.
There are people who can’t protect
themselves, people who don’t have
air conditioning, people who have to
work outside.
There should be an
urgency to help these people, Dr. Wynne Armand, primary care physician

The heads of state from Japan, the Philippines, and the United States have jointly expressed "grave concern" regarding China's conduct in the contested South China Sea. Over recent years, Beijing has intensified its presence in this crucial maritime region, leading to heightened tensions, notably with the Philippines. This nation, among others in Southeast Asia, asserts territorial claims over portions of the sea adjacent to its shores. In response to a recent altercation near Second Thomas Shoal that resulted in injuries to Filipino soldiers and damage to vessels, President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines declared Manila's intention to enact countermeasures against China. The leaders of Japan, the Philippines, and the United States expressed shared concerns over the People's Republic of China's (PRC) provocative actions in the South China Sea during the inaugural summit held in Washington, DC. This joint statement comes amid escalating tensions in the region.

Tips for Exercising , When Sleep-Deprived.
Data from the CDC indicates that nearly a third of Americans suffer from sleep deprivation.
A chronic feeling of being tired can make it easy to skip the gym.
However, cutting back on physical activity likely does more harm than good.
There is clear data to show that regular exercise improves sleep quality — moderate exercise in the morning, afternoon or very early evening can improve
deep sleep, Dr. Phyllis Zee, Northwestern University, via CNN.
Research also shows that if you sleep better, you’re more likely to be able to engage in exercise and your physical activity levels are going to be higher, Dr. Phyllis Zee, Northwestern University, via CNN.
So I would say that even if
you have had a bad night’s sleep, you should maintain your physical activity, Dr. Phyllis Zee, Northwestern University, via CNN.
However, intense workouts require rest for recovery, in which deep sleep plays a vital role. .
Without sleep, your muscles can’t recover from the stress
you put them through
during workouts. , Dr. Raj Dasgupta, University of Southern California, via CNN.
It doesn’t do you much
good to keep breaking down
your muscles without giving them time to recover
and grow stronger, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, University of Southern California, via CNN.
So instead of intense workouts
when you're sleep-deprived,
experts recommend taking it lightly.
If you’re not sleeping well, don’t go for that intense workout. , Dr. Phyllis Zee, Northwestern University, via CNN.
Walk or do yoga instead, but certainly maintain an exercise or physical activity regimen at the regular time of the day that you normally would be doing it, Dr. Phyllis Zee, Northwestern University, via CNN.
Experts say that "everything counts" and that it's good to "do anything that makes you feel happy and refreshed." .
This is about hitting the reset button for yourself, not doing some form of exercise because you feel obligated to, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, University of Southern California, via CNN
