SLEEEEP..........

SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO AVOID

  So   many   people    complain   " I  can't   sleep   at   night."   They   stay   up   all   night   with   what   we   call   "forced    thinking"   and   then   we   discovered   they   had   MSG   in   a   significant   dose.    There's   a   lot   of   MSG   in   hot   dogs,   and    mother's   who   have   children   who   can't   sleep   need   to  know   this.   


MSG  has   been   shown   to   block    the   enzyme   in   the   pineal   gland    that   has    to   do   with    the   production   of   melatonin,    so   if   you're   consuming   a   lot   of   MSG    you    are    reducing   your   melatonin   production ,   which   makes   your   brain   more   vulnerable   to   free   radicals    and    harder    to   sleep..


The   government   allows   companies   to  put   on   the   labels   " contains   no   MSG",  yet   when   you   look   at    the   labels,   thare   are   three   or   four    different    glutamate   toxins   added   to   the    food,   but   they   use   a   disguised   name.   It   will   say   hydrolyzed   protein,   or   vegetable   protein   extract   or   autolyzed   yeast   extract,   or   natural   flavor.   All  of   those   are   disguised   names   for   MSG    because   the   FDA   says   if   it's    not   99   percent   pure    they   can   label   it   any    way   they   want.  They   can   even   put   it   contains   no   MSG  on  it.   Also   most   of   meats   are   injected   with   hydrolyzed   protein.   Doritos   has   three   powerful   excitotoxins  on  them.   They   have   MSG   in   high   doses   and   sodium   caseinate. 


Pureed   tomatoes   causes   a   release   of   a   fair   amount    of   glutamate.   But   if   you   eat   a   whole   tomatoe   it  is   ok   because   it    releases    the   glutamate   very   slowly   and   most   of   it   is   used   up   by   your   muscles.   Soybeans   and   mushrooms  especially  portobello   have   a   lot   of   glutamate.   Some   cheese   has   a   lot   of   glutamate,   especially   Parmesan   cheese.   Soy   sauce   is   also   extremely   high   in   glutamate.    


Also,  there   are   studies  that   have   shown   that   adding   aspartame   to   MSG   greatly   magnifies   the   toxicity   and   raises   blood   glutamate   levels   much   higher   that   when  either   is   used   alone.   


Melatonin   is   your   valuable   natural   sleep   hormone   and   to   have   that   reduced   or   blocked   will   make   it   hard   to   spleep,   to   get   to   sleep,   to   stay   asleep    and   to   sleep   well.


To  detoxify   first   stop  exposing   yourself   to   MSG   AND   TAKE   DHA   from    fish   oil,   B   vitamins,    thiamine,   B 6,   niacinamide   B 12   and   folic   acid   to    help   repair   the   damage.   Selenium   is   important   too.    


HERBAL   SLEEP   SUPPORT


Lemon  balm  (Melissa  officinalis)  is  a   southern  European   native   long   valued   by   cooks  for  it's  light   lemony  flavor.   Lemon   balm   is   used   to   encourage   sleep   and   to   reduce   anxiety   and  stress.   It   has   also   shown   antiviral  properties,   especially   against   the   type   of   herpes   virus   that   causes   cold   sores.  It   is   believed  to   help   relieve   headaches,  ease   gout  and   toothaches,   calm   an   agitated  heart   and   regulate   the   female   reproductive   system.


According   to   scientific   research   lemon   balm   contains   compounds   called  hydroxycin-namic   acids.  one   of   which  is   rosmarinic   acid, helps  fight   free   radicals   and   ease   inflammation;  in   two   separate   animal   studies,  rosmarinic   acid,  was   able   to   reduce  inflammation  similar  to   what  is   seen   in   hypertension   and   Parkinson's   disease.


NATURAL SLEEP AIDS

Natural   sleep   aids   often   use   a   balm   extract   called   Cyracos  from   the   Provence   region   of   France   using   environmentally   sustainable   practices,   Cyracos   is   a   unique   type   of   M.  officinalis   specifically   cultivated   for   its   medicinal  properties. 


According   to   research   published   in   the   Mediterranean   Journal   of   Nutrition   and   Metabolism,  Cyracos   was   able   to   lower   insomnia   among   people   suffering   from   stress   by   42%   without   drowsiness.  It   was   also   able   to   reduce   signs   of   anwiety   which   is   a   significant   contributor   to   insomnia   by   18%.  


Like   most   herbal   therapies,  Cyracos   works   best   in  unison   with   other   herbs   and   nutrients,   such   as   hops   and   chamomile.  A  mineral   that    helps   ease   anxiety   and   relax   tense   muscles   is   magnesium.   Magnesium   dioxide   is   not   recommended,  but   magnesium   citrate    or   aspartate   are   considered   to   be   helpful. 


Soaking   in   an   Epson  Salts   bath   allows   your   body   to   absorb   magnesium   through   the   skin.   People   love   to   soak   in   an   Epson   Salts   bath   before   bed.
