Sleep is the best way to clean the brain of damaged proteins, but this only occurs when you get real sleep. Sleep medication can sedate you but will not enhance your sleep quality. Alcohol significantly decreases sleep quality, causing snoring, sleep apnea, and tossing and turning. Sleep is essential for repairing and restoring the entire body, especially the immune system. Without sleep, the immune system shuts down, leaving you vulnerable to infection. REM sleep supports parts of the brain involved in creativity, memory, and problem-solving. It improves social interaction, emotional stability, empathy, and your mood throughout the day. Most repair occurs during non-REM sleep, also known as deep or delta-wave sleep. As you age, non-REM delta wave sleep decreases significantly. Delta wave sleep is vital for fat burning, cell repair, and cell regeneration. It’s also when your body fights infections most effectively. To improve your sleep quality, try the following restful sleep tips: •Avoid alcohol •Drink kombucha tea •Exercise regularly •Avoid eating too late •Avoid eating too much protein •Sleep in a cool, dark room •Avoid too much caffeine •Avoid excessive blue light •Turn lights off a few hours before bed •Get plenty of sun during the day •Go to bed when you’re tired •Avoid stimulating shows/movies before bed Magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc are the most important nutrients for sleep. L. reuteri is a microbe that can help boost oxytocin and serotonin and improve sleep. Sodium is also vital for restful sleep.

#1 Deficiency Behind BAD EYESIGHT

By the age of 45, most people need glasses! They're known as corrective lenses, but they don’t actually improve eyesight. Is it possible to improve eyesight naturally? Find out how to improve eyesight and eye health in this video. Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food) [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4oKZ046rIAE3zwxDb06ZaO] 0:00 Introduction: How to improve eyesight naturally 0:38 Contrast sensitivity loss 2:05 Carotenoids 2:55 Light to improve eyesight 3:19 How to improve eyesight 3:52 The sun and eye health 4:24 Zeaxanthin and lutein for eyes 5:25 Avoid these foods for healthy eyes 5:43 The best diet for eyesight improvement 6:19 Important vitamins for the eyes DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science... Vitamin D3 Highdosage The Alternative to the Previous Therapy of Glaucoma: https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Highdo... Did you know that the more you wear your glasses, the stronger prescription you’ll need? Contrast sensitivity loss is an eye problem doctors don’t commonly check for. This condition affects the ability to differentiate between shades of grey, causing blurry vision, especially in low light. Carotenoids are antioxidants that protect the eyes against blue light, chemicals, damage from diabetes, and more. However, as we age, carotenoids decrease, so eye protection also decreases. Full-spectrum light can be helpful but will not solve the problem. To improve eyesight, you need to increase the efficiency of the retina. Sunlight is vital for eye and retina health. It allows UV and infrared light into the eye and can also help build up the eye’s melatonin. You can increase carotenoids in the eye by consuming foods with lutein and zeaxanthin. Both carotenoids are found in egg yolks. If you choose supplements with lutein and zeaxanthin, look for one with at least 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin. Research has shown significant improvement in macular degeneration and contrast sensitivity loss in people who took lutein and zeaxanthin for 12 weeks. Ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe stresses the importance of removing seed oils from the diet and moving towards an ancestral diet for improved eyesight and eye health. Fatty fish like salmon contain omega-3s, which support eye health and reduce inflammation. DHA is vital for the brain and retina and is found in fish oil and cod liver oil. Vitamin D is critical for every part of the eye and can help with conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinopathy. Take at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day. Vitamin A is essential, especially for night vision. Zinc can also help! #health #keto #ketodiet #weightloss #ketolifestyle #intermittentfasting #lowcarb Thanks for watching! I hope these eye health tips help improve your eyesight. I’ll see you in the next video. --- Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Read this article: https://drbrg.co/44d98Yu [https://drbrg.co/44d98Yu] Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. Symptoms of cognitive decline can begin long before a person develops dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. In the early stages, you may experience a loss of brain energy, a buildup of protein in the brain, and shrinkage of the hippocampus. At this point, most people are not experiencing obvious memory loss. By stage 3, you may start to notice difficulty remembering names, decreased learning ability, and other subtle signs of cognitive decline. These early symptoms can begin as early as your 30s and 40s. Alzheimer’s disease is often described as type 3 diabetes because it involves insulin resistance in the brain. Even though plenty of glucose is available, your neurons can no longer access and use that fuel efficiently. If you need to eat frequently to avoid irritability, fatigue, or brain fog, it may be an early sign of blood sugar problems and insulin resistance. High blood sugar and chronically elevated insulin can deplete vitamin B1, reducing the brain’s ability to produce energy. A diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can increase the risk of vitamin B1 deficiency. One of the most important things you can do for dementia prevention is to reduce your sugar and carbohydrate intake. Benfotiamine can help support brain health, but it will not be nearly as effective if you continue consuming a high-carb diet.
