Optimize Your Sleep And Lessen Your Stress Today
When These Are Off, So Are You
Sleep is the time that your body needs to recover from the day by flushing out toxins, rebuilding muscle, and learning memories from the day.
When your sleep is off these processes don’t work as well and your stress hormones become unbalanced.
Your goal is to improve sleep quality and quantity of sleep.
Stress is unavoidable in today’s world, but the key is to learn the right techniques to be able to manage it.
Stress, which can include things like having a busy day, not dealing with your emotions, lacking boundaries, and worrying about things outside of your control, initiates a cascade of events as your body shifts into a “fight or flight” response, activating your sympathetic nervous system and elevates your adrenal stress hormones like cortisol.
Over time, if you don’t address sleep and stress the right way, they will lead to chronic inflammation, which in turn can manifest into a wide array of negative health conditions, just as eating the wrong foods can.
