Sleeping properly is one of the best things you can do for your health. How come? First of all, our brain consists of more than 1 liter\/quart of blood. During our sleep, and only<\/em> between 23-24 pm, the blood leaves the back of the brain to be purified in the liver. If we are physically or mentally active during this time, our body miss out on this. The liver doesn\u2019t get enough blood to function properly and the blood sits in the back of the head and will not be cleansed, as it should.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth hormones peak at 23.00 h = 11 pm. IF<\/em> you are asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this time our oxygen levels drop by 8 % and our \u201cdeep sleep\u201d is 3 times deeper than the deep sleep after midnight. The only time our growth hormones are released is during this time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order for this to happen we need to go to bed around 10 pm. When we miss out on this deep sleep over time, our body gets overtired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we are tired our brain can\u2019t receive enough water, oxygen or amino acids and our immunity diminishes and our body is less likely to defend itself from bacteria, viruses and other microbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the less sleep you get, the fatter you become! Because it also impairs the body\u2019s ability to use insulin properly\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever heard about melatonin and serotonin? Melatonin<\/strong> is our \u201csleep hormone\u201d and serotonin<\/strong> is our \u201cwake-up\u201d hormone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Nurses Study 2006, the less melatonin we make during the night, the more likely it is that our cells (that actually should die and be replaced) will live beyond their natural life span and thus can become cancerous\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melatonin also triggers a nocturnal reduction of our body\u2019s estrogen levels. If we have any night-light on, our melatonin levels drop and our estrogen levels won\u2019t diminish, which is bad for estrogen dominant cancers like breast cancers amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cut it short; any sliver of light disrupts the production of melatonin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So throw out your mobile phone and your clock from your bedroom! And have some heavy curtains that blocks the light completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By constantly being exposed to light during nighttime, the light turns off the production of melatonin, thus promoting tumor growth. Even if you don\u2019t fall asleep immediately you\u2019ll get 90 % of the benefit of sleep just lying there with your eyes closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a sleep problem, it\u2019s: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) either your body clock that is out of sync with the circadian rhythm, or <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) you have too much toxins in your body, or <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) you have been eating too late before bedtime, or <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) you have been eating very heavy food wrongly combined. So, don\u2019t eat 4 hours before going to bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to wake up at approximately the same time in the morning. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because if you wake up too late, which is after 6-7am, your waste in your body backs up in your system. This goes for your fecal matter that backs up in your colon, your urine backs up into your kidneys and the sweat into your skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why it\u2019s vital to take a shower in the morning. Otherwise the debris from your sweat will re-enter your skin and enter into your lymph system and your blood stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you sleep late at night, or wake up too late in the morning, your liver is unable to remove toxins from your blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The serotonin, <\/em><\/strong>your \u201cwake-up\u201d hormone, is produced when the daylight comes and has its peak at noontime, or<\/em> if you workout or eat sugar! That\u2019s why you shouldn\u2019t workout or eat sugar in the evening. \u263a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly enough the serotonin is manufactured in the digestive system by 95%, and only 5 % in the brain. Maybe now we can understand the importance of eating well\u2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As daylight diminishes, your serotonin is automatically broken down into melatonin.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To your health, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
