Scott Schwab:
Many people today are having issues with having a good night sleep. There are a host of things that it can be, including; your mattress, stress, external noise, restlessness, location, diet, and exercise. The last couple are where we need to start.
Diet:
One thing that we should pay attention to is the labels when we are eating foods. They will tell us about a couple of things that we should avoid at all costs. High fructose corn syrup, coloring, additives, enhancements. Our bodies cannot digest many of these man made products. Perhaps worst of all is the processed foods that many of us eat. Our bodies do not know what or how to digest these foods and many times our bodies will simulate the storing of these things into fat. Or another scenario is that they sit in our bodies and wait to be ejected if you know what I mean. Sugar that sits can make us nauseated, sick, and dependant. The best case scenario is to avoid it all together. However if we cannot, make sure that you are drinking plenty of water to help eliminate the toxins in the body.
Exercise:
Having an exercise routine is a wonderful thing. Not only will you release endorphins, but the release of endorphins will encourage the body to naturally refuel. Our bodies know that the refueling happens when we rest. Especially when we are in REM. As we work our bodies the natural cycle is to rest at a certain point. We confuse our bodies and schedule when we spend a lot of time sitting around, watching TV, or living a sedentary lives. In short our bodies desire to be worked. They desire the benefits that come through hard work and dedication. With exercise comes the deep benefits that are noticed through mental health.
