Remedy For Sleep Disorders

If you are having sleeping problems, first you need to determine what disorder is responsible, then make the corresponding juice. Drink it every day and keep your diet relatively free of processed foods, dairy products, and sugary and floury foods.

Note: If your sleep problem becomes serious you should consult your GP to see whether medication is required.

 

1. Insomnia

Insomnia is something we all know about. Insomniacs can't sleep easily, and even when they do they only sleep for a short time, making their waking days a bit of a living nightmare. About 30% of us actually suffer from insomnia on a regular basis. Acute insomnia could be caused by a significant magnesium deficiency. Magnesium naturally helps relax your muscles and calms your nerves, making falling into a soft, dreamy sleep much easier. Therefore, to keep insomnia at bay we need a juice bursting with magnesium-rich leafy goodness. This will do the trick!
 

Attack Your Insomnia

Ingredients
- ¼ Savoy cabbage head
- A handful spinach
- 3 Romaine lettuce heads
- 2 green apples
- 1-inch ginger root
- 1 lemon

Directions (are the same for each juice)
1. Wash all the ingredients.
2. Cut the ingredients into pieces small enough to fit them through your juicer’s chute.
3. Beginning with the smallest pieces, pop all your ingredients into the juicer.
4. Serve immediately. 
 
2. Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea is a fairly frightening phenomenon. The relaxing of throat muscles during sleep can cause a blockage, affecting your breathing and causing you to wake up gasping for air. When your throat produces too much mucus it is more at risk of an apnea inducing blockage. A fibre rich diet will reduce the amount of mucus you produce. So we need some juice rich in fibrous goodness. This juice packs a great fibery punch.
 

Prevent Your Sleep Apnea

Ingredients
- 4 celery ribs
- 2 Asian pears
- 4 carrots
- 1-inch ginger root
- 1 lemon

 

3. Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless leg syndrome bizarrely results in your legs wanting to start moving and running around while you are lying down and trying to sleep. This is a neurological disorder caused by iron and magnesium deficiency. This juice contains plenty of iron and magnesium fruit and veg and will prevent this annoying syndrome from occurring.    

Avoid Restless Leg Syndrome

Ingredients
- 10-12 asparagus spears
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 celery ribs
- 1 fennel bulb
- A handful parsley
- 1 green apple
- 1 lemon

4. Bruxism

Bruxism is the medical name given to the involuntary teeth-grinding that can happen during sleep, waking you up with a saw jaw, or headache. It is believed that a diet rich in greens helps reduce bruxism, which is caused by a lack of vitamin B5, magnesium and calcium. This easy-to-make juice remedies any deficiencies you may have. 
 

Bruxism

Ingredients
- 4 carrots
- 6 celery ribs
- A handful spinach
- A handful parsley
- ¼ of a pineapple
- 1 lemon

Top 10 Foods for Healthy Hair

"Just like every other part of your body, the cells and processes that support strong, vibrant hair depend on a balanced diet," says  nutritionist.

It can take longer to notice changes (both good or bad!) in your hair than in your skin. For example, "just one week with a poor diet can yield acne flare-ups or dry, sallow skin within days," says a dermatologist, "but with hair, it can take a few months for a nutritional deficiency or the effects of a crash diet to show up."

The nutrients you eat today help fortify the hair follicle -- from which each strand is born -- and the scalp that surrounds it. "Healthier follicles? Healthier hair. Healthier scalp? Healthier hair!" 

Of course, there's more to your hair than what you eat. Smoking, hormonal imbalances, and not enough sleep can also affect how your hair looks and feels. No magic nutrient can make up for those concerns.

Still, you have a lot more leverage than you might think. If you eat a balanced, varied, protein-rich diet that focuses on the following 10 foods, you'll be giving your hair the TLC it needs and deserves.

1. Salmon

Besides being rich in protein and vitamin D (both are key to strong hair) the omega-3 fatty acids found in this tasty cold-water fish are the true superstar. Your body can't make those fatty acids, which your body needs to grow hair. About 3% of the hair shaft is make up of these fatty acids. Omega-3s are also found in cell membranes in the skin of your scalp, and in the natural oils that keep your scalp and hair hydrated.

Other options:  you can also get essential fatty acids from fish like herring, sardines, trout, and mackerel, as well as avocado, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts (see below for more wonderful things about walnuts.)

2. Walnuts

These are the only type of nut that have a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. They're also rich in biotin and vitamin E, which helps protect your cells from DNA damage. Since your hair rarely gets much shielding from the sun, this is especially great. Too little biotin can lead to hair loss. Walnuts also have copper, a mineral that helps keep your natural hair colour rich and lustrous.

Other options: Try using walnut oil in your salad dressing or stir-fry instead of canola or safflower.

3. Oysters

Oysters are rich in zinc, a lack of which can lead to hair loss (even in your eyelashes), as well as a dry, flaky scalp. Three ounces has a whopping 493% of your daily value. You can get some zinc through fortified cereals and whole grain breads, but oysters can boast a good level of protein too. "Remember, hair is about 97% protein,". Without enough protein, your body can't replace the hairs that you naturally shed every day and what you do make can be dry, brittle, or weak.

Other options: Get your fill of zinc with nuts, beef, and eggs.

4. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a great source of the antioxidant beta carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A. "Basically, every cell of the body cannot function without enough Vitamin A,. It also helps protect and produce the oils that sustain your scalp, and being low on vitamin A can even leave you with itchy, irksome dandruff.

Other options: Carrots, cantaloupe, mangoes, pumpkin, and apricots are all good sources of beta carotene.

5. Eggs

A great source of protein, eggs are loaded with four key minerals: zinc, selenium, sulphur, and iron. Iron is especially important, because it helps cells carry oxygen to the hair follicles, and too little iron (anaemia) is a major cause of hair loss, particularly in women.

Other options: You can also boost your iron stores with animal sources, including chicken, fish, pork, and beef.

6. Spinach

The iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C in spinach help keep hair follicles healthy and scalp oils circulating.

Other options: Try similarly nutrient-rich dark, leafy vegetables such as broccoli, kale, and Swiss chard.

7. Lentils

Tiny but mighty, these legumes are teeming with protein, iron, zinc, and biotin, making it a great staple for vegetarian, vegans, and meat eaters.

Other options: Toss other beans such as soy-beans (the young ones are called edamame) and kidney beans into your soup or salad.

8. Greek yoghurt

Cruise the dairy aisle for low-fat options such as Greek yoghurt, which is high in hair-friendly protein, vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid -- an ingredient you'll often see on hair care product labels), and vitamin D. Emerging research links vitamin D and hair follicle health, but exactly how that works isn't clear.

Other options: Cottage cheese, low-fat cheese, and skim milk also fit the bill.

9. Blueberries

Exotic super fruits may come and go but when it comes to vitamin C, "It's hard to top this nutrient superhero," Drayer says. C is critical for circulation to the scalp and supports the tiny blood vessels that feed the follicles. Too little C in your diet can lead to hair breakage.

Other options: Kiwis, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and strawberries.

10. Poultry

This everyday entrée is extraordinary when it comes to protein, as well as hair-healthy zinc, iron, and B vitamins to keep strands strong and plentiful. Because hair is nearly all protein, "foods rich in protein are literally giving you the building blocks for hair,".

Other options: Lean cuts of beef are another good source of lean protein.
