What are the reasons you can’t sleep?

Okay, not getting enough sleep seems to be very common. Ad after ad for pills (both natural and chemical) to help you sleep are advertised on the TV, in social media, emails, etc. etc.

There are many reasons you can’t sleep, a lot of people think they need melatonin and others want to knock themselves out with natural herbs such as valerian root or kava kava.

A much better solution is to figure out what is going on and address that.

First, it may be due to what you are eating or drinking that has too much caffeine. That is easily handled by not drinking or eating too much (chocolate has caffeine) and if you do make sure it is early in the day.

Don’t over exercise. It creates sleeping problems, try low stress exercise and taking long walks late in the day – walking is low stress & you are getting lots of oxygen. Get out and look around and look into the distance.

A high pulse rate can interrupt your sleep. It can be that your pH is too acidic. It can be due to a potassium deficiency – potassium lowers your pulse rate and calms the nervous system down. And don’t eat too many refined carbohydrates that deplete the body of potassium. You can get a lot of potassium & magnesium from vegetables, if you can digest it. If you can digest, eat 7-10 cups of veggies and salads. Recommended Electrolyes.

Meat, fish and eggs are high in phosphates. This will excelarate the nervous system – don’t eat too much protein especially late at night.

Don’t eat fat at night, as that can irritate the gallbladder and digestion. Eat fats earlier in the day.

Prevent upsets such as watching the news – watch a comedy or read a book.

It may be your adrenals Overactive adrenals will stop you from sleeping. If you are waking up at 2 AM it is adrenal. Too low or two high cortisol – bumps you out of sleep. Improve the Adrenals. Meanwhile you can take the Sleep Aid which is made for the Adrenals. See Adrenal Exhaustion

Hope this helps.

Metabolic Boost – Targeted Nutrition at a Cellular Level

If you have high blood pressure, high blood glucose, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, excess weight around the waist you have a metabolic disorder – an imbalance or deficiency – that negatively affects the way your body functions. This also means you have an increased risk of a serious health condition, such as cardiovascular disease. If you have 3 or more factors this is commonly referred to as Metabolic Syndrome and your risk increases even more. You are not alone.

Metabolic Syndrome is increasingly common and up to 30% of U.S. adults have it and about 44% of people over 50 years of age are affected by it. Every 5 seconds someone is diagnosed with a condition caused by metabolic disorder and every 10 seconds somebody dies from a metabolic health issue. It is one of the most important health challenges we currently face.

Metabolic Boost is a new generation of adaptogenic (an agent that support one’s energy and ability to better handle stress). Metabolic Boost is a plant-based formula with ingredients that support processes within the cells but also help to control them, thereby creating a healthy metabolic system for a healthy body.

“I’ve had a lot of digestive issues. and frequent hunger at inopportune times. With only one teaspoon of MetabolicBoost in my smoothie at lunch I don’t have any hunger between lunch an dinner.

I also found that MetabolicBoost helps with my problem of waking up a lot at night. Apparently, my sleep issue is related to metabolism. I love this product! ”

For more than two years I would start each morning with a good breakfast without carbs, but by 10:30 AM I would start having craving and have to eat or my energy would crash. After lunch, I would take a nap for an hour. I would eat an appropriate dinner, but the cravings for snacks at night was impossible to resist. \

I was at a loss for ever being able to lose weight or even if I did manage to lose a few pounds, in a few days they would be back on. Since I started using Metabolic Boost, I’ve been able to lose 15 lbs. and it has stayed off. My need for sleep after lunch has greatly reduced and the cravings at night are gone. I know I can reach my goal weight with the help of Metabolic Boost.”

Problem of Temperature

 

Do you treat the symptoms or the cause of the problem?

I’ve come across this quite often where some health problem is treated by addressing the symptom instead of finding out why that symptom exists and treating that.  How many medical doctors think that they are naturopaths by addressing sleep with tart cherry instead of a drugs.  But they are still treating the symptoms.  Finding out why the person can’t sleep and treating that would be a nutritional handling of the problem.

Here is a video done by Dr. Eric Berg on What is the Cause of Fatigue?   He goes over this exact point.
