Get Your SLEEP!!!

What you really need to know and to incorporate into your life is that sleep is not something that's optional- chronic skimping on sleep, meaning less than 7 1/2 -8 hours per night, minimum, will quite literally KILL you! Rejuvenating effects of good, restful sleep is completely necessary for mental and physical health. Lack of sleep is very stressful on the body. If you are having trouble sleeping some things you can do are turn off all lights in your bedroom.  Don’t watch TV or use the computer at night. Buy heavy curtains to block out light at night. Basically make your room a cave. Don't stay up late!  We are meant to go to bed with the onset of darkness, and awaken with the dawn.  Try to replicate this cycle! No late evening eating!  Digestion is a big chore stressor on your body, and will make it harder for you to sleep. The problem in today’s lifestyle isn’t stress. Our bodies are designed to deal with stress. The problem is the kind of stress. Stress falls into two categories acute and chronic. Acute stress is short but intense. Someone scares you or someone runs out into traffic and you move out of the way not to hit them. The feeling of your heart pounding, palms sweating and that feeling in your stomach for that moment would be acute stress. Acute stress is the stress your body was built to handle. The stress hormones adrenaline, epinephrine, noradrenaline, norepinephrine, and dopamine flood through your body. Sharpening your reflexes and giving you better and more focused concentration. Your adrenal cortex raises production of another stress hormone called cortisol. This releases glycogen stores to your muscles for a burst of energy. Your body thinks you’re in immediate, life-threatening danger and prioritizes its resources accordingly. Well you may say if my body can handle a life-threatening danger cant it handle stress from work or your boss even? Sadly the answer is no. The problem is that it’s a different kind of stress altogether. You go to work and stress about deadlines or money. You bring that stress home with you and stress throughout the night. Your body can’t tell the difference. In other words with chronic stress your body is stuck in that fight or flight mode being faced with constant stress. Your hormonal system is one of the major victims of chronic stress. Your body maintains a balance between stress and relaxation, regulated by the cycle of two hormones cortisol which stimulates wakefulness, and melatonin which causes sleep. Cortisol and melatonin fluctuate during the day in a cycle known as your circadian rhythms – cortisol peaks in the morning and dips in the evening, when melatonin takes over during sleep. By stimulating continuous production of cortisol, chronic stress causes an imbalance in your hormonal cycle and disruption of your circadian rhythms. Instead of giving way to melatonin in the evening. Cortisol stays high leaving you lying awake because your body never got the signal to wind down and prepare for sleep.  Another way high cortisol disturbs your hormonal balance is by causing a condition called adrenal fatigue. In the short term, cortisol robs your digestive and immune systems of energy to give you a rush of strength Adrenal fatigue is the price you pay when your body extends this emergency trade-off into the long run. Adrenal fatigue can lead to illnesses like gastrointestinal disorders like GERD, IBS, and even food allergies. It will also affect your immune system. So in short get plenty of sleep. Don’t stay up late or be a hero and survive off of 4 hours of sleep. Your body will thank you for it!!!

Paleo Diet: Healthy Or A Hoax?


What have you done so far to burn your fat? Did you consume health foods, starve yourself, or avoid your favorite food. This diet is based on the diet of the prehistoric man. The stuff mentioned in the system keeps your insulin levels in check and also helps you to avoid obesity and disorders like diabetes. You don’t have to take any dangerous pills, starve yourself, or do anything extreme.  The key to eliminating fat is controlling the hormones in your body. First thing you need is rest. When insulin levels are high you gain weight. When insulin levels are low your body burns fat. By staying away from certain foods you will lose weight. Grains increase insulin levels that turn food to fat. You have to replace grains with other foods that don’t increase insulin levels and that are full of carbohydrates. Stay away from stress. A stressful life causes your body to produce cortisol. What is Cortisol? It is a vital steroid hormone that influences the metabolism is secreted by the outer layer cortex, the adrenal glands. The main action is the response to increased demand for physical, mental work and resistance to stress. Causes increased breakdown of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the tissues, increasing the level of cellular metabolism. Cortisol levels that are too high result in fat production.  By getting more sleep instead of your body producing cortisol it will produce HGH. HGH hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain, and helps bone, muscle and organs grow. So by changing your diet you can achieve the results you want.
