Description:
Food as Medicine to Reset Sleep and Energy
Sleep is arguably the most underrated of all health strategies. Every bit of research on health and sleep is clear. Lack of sleep equals lack of cognitive function, increased risk of diabetes and diseases of inflammation, weight gain, increased appetite and more. Lack of sleep impacts memory, brain performance, learning ability, retention of information, and mood. A number of nutrients are needed to cue sleep onset and to keep us sleeping, as well as other lifestyle factors that prepare the body to sleep and ensure it has what it needs to make repairs and lower disease risks during sleep.
