The Warm Springs Holistic Health Center reminds you that sleep is one of the most important aspects of a health balanced routine. Adults function best on 8 hours of sleep, while teenagers and children require slightly more. Getting optimal levels of sleep can help reduce the risk of several chronic health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and mental health disorders. Sleep deprivation has been associated with a higher risk of obesity in both children and adults. Holistic Health is located on campus next to the courthouse, offers physical therapy and acupuncture services. You can call 541-777-2663 to learn more.
