Eat to Sleep!


Trouble sleeping?  Tired but can't get enough Zzz's in?
      I always tell my clients one of the missing links on the discussion of health today for longevity and anti-aging is the need necessity for absolute  SLEEP.  

The body cannot function properly without recharging which happens during a good nights sleep.

When someone looks in the mirror and they see dark circles puffy eyes don't looking skin tiredness in the eyes yellowing in the ice a sluggish digestive system.  All of those symptoms are a result of lack of sleep.

The body has an natural detoxifying process that happens when we sleep.  It is our job to guarantee the body that opportunity to detox.  When we fail the body we fail ourselves.  our health suffers, our hormones get confused and  our chances of living a anti aging lifestyle are deceased.

Eat to sleep means just that.  When we eat with a purpose it gives food power.  Food is a drug. It was put on this earth to feed us.  It is when we take it out of that content text that it becomes abused miss used and works negatively against us.

When you eat to sleep you want to make sure you are giving your body
-enough water
-potassium
-minerals
-protein plant based sources such as brown rice, hemp and sprouted legumes.

The Key to have a balanced hormonal release throughout the day. 
Green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables. Plant based protein, chia seeds and flax. water 

When you eat these foods and drink enough water throughout the day preferably before 3 PM you will be ready for bed- tired, exhausted and shutting down by 8 PM. 

You will wake up with no dark circles or puffy eyes. 

                                          Full of energy and ready to start a new day!
