Sleep
One out of every three people have
insomnia at some time in their life.1 Habitual sleeplessness is classified as
insomnia. Chronic insomnia affects one out of ten Americans,
and that rate increases to one in three among otherwise
healthy seniors. A sleep disorder known as sleep apnea affects
about 20 million more Americans, robbing them of the rest and
rejuvenation and health and wellness that come only as a
result of getting a good night’s sleep.2
When sleep deprivation robs the body of
nutrients, serious deterioration in performance and the onset
of disease ensues. People with sleep apnea often face an
increased risk of heart disease and higher than normal blood
pressure.3 Drowsiness also
decreases mental alertness, accounts for lower productivity at
work, as well as automobile accidents each year.4
However, sleeping pills are not the
answer. Long-term use of sleep aids can lead to insomnia.5
Sleep deprivation can also be linked to
disorders such as depression, anxiety, stress, and grief.6
Sleeplessness is often a sign of poor
nutrition. Supplementation of Magnesium, Zinc, and vitamin B
nutritionally help the body to have deeper and more restful
sleep.7 In addition, garlic
has been shown to improve serotonin levels, which are involved
in the regulation of sleep.8
