It’s about and for everyone who works shifts – or more correctly – doesn’t work 9-5. Police, Fire, Ambulance, Nurses, Doctors, Hospital Staff, Gas Station Attendants, Factory Workers, Transit, Truck Drivers, Electrical Services, Airline Workers, Food Services, Hotel Workers …our list is endless isn’t it? There’s a bucket load of info out there about staying healthy by following regular regimes for
fitness and eating and sleeping…. And thanks for that, but it’s not really helpful in the long run is it? I sent in questions for Dr. Oz but he didn’t answer – “How about a few suggestions for staying healthy as a shift worker?” His staff didn’t get back to me. And this one which I still think is a pretty good question – “If a risk factor for breast cancer in female shift workers is low levels of melatonin, would taking melatonin regularly, reduce my chances of developing the disease?” Nada on the come back for that as well.
