Five Steps to Better Sleep

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Five Steps to Better Sleep By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs You may think of yoga as a series of body-bending postures that cause you more stress, not less. But one form, called Yoga Nidra, is aimed at guiding you into peaceful, conscious relaxation as you're lying down. A form of mindful meditation, Yoga Nidra has long been said to improve sleep and memory. But now researchers have used modern technology (polysomnography) and tests of cognition to verify the remarkable benefits of doing two weeks of daily 20-minute sessions. Special: [Stop Eating Oatmeal and Quinoa]( Their study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, tracked significantly increased deep-sleep delta waves in the brain of study participants, and measured their improvements in speed and accuracy when doing tests of working memory and spatial learning. If you want to try the practice, Dr. Mike's colleagues at Cleveland Clinic suggest lying in a dark, quiet space and following these five steps for 10 to 15 minutes: 1. Focus on a goal — perhaps about your health. Visualize intentionally reaching this goal. 2. Scan your body, noting areas of tension. Imagine them floating away. 3. Become aware of your breath. Notice your rising abdomen and how the air passes through your nostrils. 4. Become aware of what you're thinking about. Don't judge or block your thoughts; don't ignore difficult topics. Then imagine the opposite of any negative feelings. Let that provide balance. 5. Absorb those more positive feelings. Let them fill you up. When you finish, think about how you feel and what you were able to tap into during your session.

But what most people don't realize is that these two particular foods contain compounds that can actually harm your health and your digestion in many ways... And as your favorite Nutritionists, we'll explain why in this quick email, so you can avoid further harming your health and digestion with these so-called "healthy" foods... 1. Oatmeal and Oat Milk While oatmeal is touted as a healthy carb and a source of fiber, unfortunately there are more cons than pros with this food... The first problem with oats is that they are loaded with a compound called phytic acid (phytates) that significantly lowers your absorption of certain minerals and vitamins, such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. So whenever you eat oats, the phytic acid causes you to absorb less of these vitally important minerals which could cause health problems if you eat oats too frequently, since most people already don't get enough minerals like magnesium and zinc. The second problem with oats is that they contain one of the highest residue concentrations of the toxic herbicide glyphosate, which can damage your gut, and have been linked to other health problems like cancer, hormone issues, and more. The next major problem with oats is that they are a significant source of mycotoxins in the diet, which are mold based toxins that can cause an array of gut problems, hormone problems and more. Lastly, oats can also contain high levels of the toxic heavy metal Cadmium, which is linked to health problems as this toxic heavy metal accumulates in your body. 2. Quinoa Quinoa is another food that is pitched as a health food or a "superfood". Unfortunately, this is another example of a food that has more downsides than good sides. First off, quinoa is high in compounds called saponins, that have been shown in some studies to cause gut damage and contribute to "leaky gut". Another problematic compound in quinoa are lectins, which are a type of antinutrient that can damage the cells of your intestines, and contribute to several gut disorders and immune system problems. Many friends and colleagues of ours have reported feeling abdominal pain after eating quinoa, bloating, and loose stools or diarrhea, as well as triggering of autoimmune conditions such as skin conditions. Now that we've talked about why we should avoid oatmeal and quinoa if we want to avoid many of these health issues, let's look below at a unique way to HEAL your gut, get rid of gas and bloating, increase energy, and lose fat easier... Bananas vs oranges vs apples... (the #1 WORST fruit for your gut & energy) According to the best-selling author and world-renowned heart surgeon, Dr. Steven Gundry, there’s one fruit people over 40 should never eat. This fruit can damage your gut and disrupt your hormones. Both sapping you of energy and forcing your body to create “sticky” fat cells that can NOT be “burned off” with normal diet and exercise.
