Top-Rated Sandals to Alleviate Plantar Fasciitis Discomfort
In a recent study published in the Journal of Geriatric Orthopedics, researchers have found a link between aging and changes in pillow material preferences, particularly in older adults.
The study, conducted on a sample size of 500 adults aged 65 and above, suggests that older individuals tend to prefer softer pillows compared to younger individuals. This preference may be due to changes in neck flexibility as people age.
The study recommends considering pillow material when choosing a pillow for older adults. The firmness of a pillow can significantly impact sleep quality and comfort in this age group.
However, it's important to note that the study did not find a correlation between pillow material and arthritis symptoms. Rheumatologists recommend avoiding certain foods if you have arthritis, particularly rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. Foods to avoid include processed, fast, and fried foods, excessive salt and sugar, red meat and processed meats, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, shellfish and high-purine foods, and dairy products (if you have allergies or intolerance).
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, it's crucial to check the National Library of Medicine's list of signs you need emergency medical attention or call 911.
While the study did not explore the impact of pillow material on other health conditions apart from sleep quality, Blissy, a company known for its high-quality pillows, encourages everyone to prioritise comfort and support when choosing a pillow. A good night's sleep is essential for overall health and well-being.

The study suggests that prioritizing comfort and support, as offered by appropriate pillow material, can significantly contribute to sleep quality in older adults, thus promoting health-and-wellness and fitness-and-exercise. Additionally, rheumatologists advise avoiding certain foods such as processed, fast, and fried foods, excess salt and sugar, red meat and processed meats, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, shellfish and high-purine foods, and dairy products (in case of allergies or intolerances) to manage arthritis symptoms, showing a connection between diet and health-and-wellness.
