In an increasingly fast-paced lifestyle, sleep is often undervalued, despite its central role in regulating the immune system. The relationship between sleep, cell repair and immune response is now well documented and is recognised as one of the most important elements in maintaining health over time. The importance of...
Orofacial pain associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions has become increasingly common in the population. These conditions can have a significant impact on quality of life, interfering with essential functions such as chewing, speech, sleep and the ability to concentrate. In this context, physiotherapy specialising in orofacial pain and TMJ dysfunctions...
Homeostasis is a central concept in human biology and physiology. It refers to the body's ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions, allowing cells, tissues and systems to function in a coordinated manner despite constant variations in the external environment. This dynamic balance is essential for the survival, adaptation and proper functioning of the organism throughout...
Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) is a common condition, often associated with pain and discomfort in the jaw and adjacent structures. Pain can be accompanied by clicking, facial stiffness and limited mouth opening, affecting not only chewing but also speech and sleep, with a significant impact on quality of life. A...
The circadian cycle is an approximately 24-hour biological regulation system responsible for organising multiple physiological processes, including sleep, wakefulness, metabolism and the response to stress. Among its main modulators are cortisol and melatonin, two hormones with complementary functions in the body's adaptation to different...
The immune system plays a central role in regulating health and the body's ability to adapt. Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology provides an integrated understanding of how factors such as stress, sleep, diet and emotional states influence the immune response over time, framing the immune system as part of a...
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in multiple physiological processes in the human body. Although it doesn't always receive the same attention as other micronutrients, it plays an important role in metabolic, neuromuscular and energy regulation. Maintaining adequate magnesium levels is associated with the normal functioning of various systems in the body. Biological functions of...
Mindfulness is a practice of ancient origin that centres on paying full attention to the present moment. In recent years, it has attracted growing interest in the field of health and well-being. In addition to the subjective experience of those who practise it, neuroscience research has shown that mindfulness is associated with measurable changes...
Health is one of the most important aspects of our lives, but it's not always easy to define. For a long time, it was understood only as the absence of disease. However, this view is limited and doesn't reflect the way the body actually works on a daily basis. For me, health goes much further...
Sleep is one of the central pillars of health and physiological balance. During the night, the body activates fundamental processes of repair, regulation and adaptation, involving the nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune system. Adequate sleep contributes to physical recovery, emotional stability and the organisation of...
