[What is 5-HTP]

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia 5-HTP is used for sleep disorders such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine and tension-type headaches, fibromyalgia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizure disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

 [How does it work?]

5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.

[Function]

Depression. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth improve symptoms of depression in some people. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth might be as beneficial as certain prescription antidepressant drugs for improving depression symptoms. In most studies, 150-800 mg daily of 5-HTP was taken. In some cases, higher doses have been used.

Down syndrome. Some research shows that giving 5-HTP to infants with Down syndrome might improve muscle and activity. Other research shows that it does not improve muscle or development when taken from infancy until 3-4 years of age. Research also shows that taking 5-HTP along with conventional prescription drugs does improve development, social skills, or language skills.

Anxiety 5-HTP was found to be protective against carbon dioxide-induced panic attacks. One study compared 5-HTP and the prescription medication clomipramine for anxiety. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. 5-HTP was found to be somewhat effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, but not as effective as clomipramine.

Sleep 5-HTP supplements fared a little better for insomnia.5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and decreased the number of nighttime awakenings. Taking 5-HTP along with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduced the time it took to fall asleep and increased the duration and quality of sleep. One study found that children with night terrors benefited from 5-HTP.

Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon yesterday inaugurated the Lao PDR’s own national Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on unexploded ordnance (UXO) during the ongoing Asean Summits.

The SDGs have been drawn up by the United Nations as targets for developing countries.

Goal No. 18, which relates specifically to Laos, is �Lives safe from UXO; remove the UXO obstacle to national development�
The logo shows, on a red background, a disabled person walking away from cluster munitions on a crutch, towards an empowered, self-reliant future.

At the SDG 18 launch yesterday, which was attended by high-ranking Lao officials and the UN Resident Coordinator, representatives of UN agencies and donor representatives, a renewed commitment was expressed for a future safe from UXO in the Lao PDR, and for dignified lives for all UXO survivors, many of whom have life-long needs.

Speaking at the event, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said �More than half of the casualties caused by UXO in the Lao PDR in recent years have been children, most often young boys.�

�With SDG 18, we aim to put an end to this horrible trend, once and for all. The socio-economic impact of UXO contamination means that people lack confidence in the safety of their land, which in turn has negative impacts on the income of rural farmers and their families and inhibits the development of the whole country.�

�I welcome the government’s commitment to free its people from UXO, with a powerful tool like a national SDG which will make sure efforts are coordinated for full impact,� he said. Ban Ki-moon added that with the implementation of the SDGs, the United Nations is delivering on its promise to leave no one behind. He acknowledged the support of national institutions, development partners and civil society organisations, which are all crucial for the implementation of the SDGs in the Lao PDR.

Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith stressed the ambitious targets that come with SDG18, saying �Our government, through SDG 18, will make sure that UXO is cleared to the extent possible by 2030, in high-risk areas, which are often the poorest areas of the country.�

�We will also focus on ensuring that all survivors receive the support they need to lead dignified lives. For us to be successful we rely on a joint effort,� he added. As a first step in implementing SDG 18, the Lao government is planning to carry out a comprehensive national survey of UXO contamination, which will help to target clearance work in high-risk areas and reduce the number of casualties.

SDG 18 is the newest addition to a set of 17 globally agreed goals which form the core of a new sustainable development agenda that came into effect at the beginning of the year, according to press release from the United Nations in the Lao PDR. The Lao PDR, together with all other 192 UN member states, endorsed the SDGs at the General Assembly in New York in September 2015 and has since made inroads in incorporating them into national plans and policies.

The SDGs aim to end poverty, fight injustice and inequality and tackle climate change by 2030, thus advancing the globe onto a sustainable development path. The Lao PDR decided to further address its legacy from the Indochina War (1964-1973) by creating its own SDG on UXO, whose targets aim to reduce casualties, address the needs of victims and clear the country in a way that most benefits the poorest parts of the population, the UN press release reported.

The Lao PDR has also been a leading advocate for the Convention on Cluster Munitions, an international agreement which entered into force in 2010, obliging State Parties to clear contaminated areas, destroy stockpiles and provide assistance to victims of cluster munitions accidents.

Eating late at night is not always healthy. Choosing healthy food at night is important for more than just nutrition, however. The type of meal or snack you choose and when you eat can affect your alertness or ability to sleep. Here are 10 healthy late night snacks to satisfy your late night cravings

1.Strawberries Shake: Pour a glass of water into the mixer and add 2 tablespoons of yogurt. Add one teaspoon of honey and three to four strawberries into it. Blend them together and enjoy this refreshing juice with a few ice cubes. This is a great protein shake, and has digestion boosting probiotics.

2.Popcorn Popcorn is a great snack at night. Whether you are watching a movie or reading a book, munching on popcorn is just simply great. A pack (94% fat free) consists only 100 calories. Avoid the butter and use lemon powder for a tangy flavor.

3.Greek Yogurt Greek yogurt is a fantastic snack for either weight loss or weight training. It’s extremely high in protein (higher than traditional yogurt), and the low-fat and fat-free options are still extremely satisfying. Top with some fresh blueberries or these Nutiva Organic Chia Seeds for some extra omega-3s!

4.Green Smoothie If your focus at night is on vitamins, minerals, and healthy nutrients, then use Amazing Grass Green SuperFood Powder in a simple late night shake for a major nutritional boost. You’ll wake up feeling ready to take on your day!

5.Warm Milk and Honey Warm milk has long been used as a sleep aid, making it a good late-night snack choice if you have trouble sleeping at night. It’s interesting to note that, despite people swearing by the effectiveness of a warm glass of milk aiding in relaxation efforts, the effect may be more psychological than physiological. Stir 1 or 2 tablespoon of honey in a warm glass of milk and drink it 30 minutes before bed.

6.Scrambled egg If you’re looking for a quick, healthy late night snack, try an egg white scramble. Scramble up some egg whites along with a little bit of low fat cheese and then top with salsa for added flavor. This snack will only come in around 150-200 calories and will be filled with quality protein that your muscles need.

7.Pumpkin seeds These delicious seeds are also good for you! They contain protein and unsaturated fat, so they’ll satisfy your appetite and keep you from snacking on the less-healthy options. You can add a couple for a mini trail mix meal.

8.Protein bars Low carb protein bars are a healthy alternative to candy bars for satisfying your late night cravings. Make sure you select those that are high in protein and fiber to keep you satiated.

9.Frozen Blueberries Snacks There are only 85 calories in one cup of blueberries. Freeze them if you’re looking for a cold sweetness similar to ice cream.

10.Carrots and hummus Hummus is a great source of protein and carrots are packed full of nutrients. It’s a winning combination, especially for a late-night study session.
