Do you know that if you wake up feeling exhausted, even though you think you have had a good night’s sleep, you may be suffering from chronic exhaustion? Unfortunately, this is actually a medical condition which is caused by an infection. The enemy, it turns out, is a type of yeast termed candida albicans, and it grows rapidly throughout the body when an individual’s diet is consistently made up of “quick and easy” food choices. You may also consume a lot of refined and processed foods, have a sugar addiction and/or may be otherwise unbalanced due to doses of prescription medications or antibiotics.
Even knowing this information, most people from all “walks of life” still usually ignore holistic nutrition guidelines and enjoy bad eating habits to such an extreme that they become irritable, develop sleep issues, have mood swings, experience chronic fatigue and an overall feeling of general impairment. Although the symptoms might not be particularly severe individually, if they’re all taken together they’ll definitely have a great impact on your daily life. Most people do not realize that they have a candida problem and should address their diets.
As people become older, it actually becomes more difficult to get a good night’s sleep. There are wide variety of obvious reasons for this, poor timekeeping usually being the biggest culprit. You should aim to get to bed at the same time every night, which for most people will be around the 10 o’clock hour. Your body is accustomed to getting the most restful hours of sleep during these hours and you should aim for eight hours per night, without compromise. Melatonin is one of the greatest natural antioxidants and its job is to repair the damage that you have amassed during the daytime hours, eliminating free radicals and other toxins. Don’t disrupt the natural cycles of nature.
Many of us are used to eating the largest meal of the day almost within sight of our bedtime. Dietary experts recommend that you should leave at least three hours between your final meal and your bedtime, as otherwise your body will be busy digesting the food in your stomach and intestines and will not be able to allocate the correct resources to sleep-repair work. Even worse is the folly of those who have a significant snack immediately before they turn in. The body has very little chance of correctly resetting itself and over a period of time this will most certainly lead to problems. There seems little point in adding fuel just before a period of inaction, don’t you think? This is exactly what we’re doing if we eat late and then try and sleep. Your body is acclimatized to processing instructions and does not realize that it should pause its digestive action while you try and sleep.
You are what you eat and if your diet is high in sugars and processed or bad foods, you risk amassing a significant candida problem. Not only do you want to sleep better, but you want to stave off the threat of illnesses and diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Don’t leave it until you have developed these significant symptoms, and then kick yourself for not considering holistic health solutions before. A sugar addiction is a serious health threat.
