i want to share a very exciting

natural remedy that you can take to

enhance your sleep

as you know sleep is so so important and

there’s one remedy that i think will

work really good and you just take a

half a cup of this before bed and you

will sleep better

and that thing is

kefir

now what is kefir

well it’s similar to yogurt

but it’s better than yogurt it has a lot

more microbes it has between 12 to 50

different strains

where yogurt only has between like one

and three maybe maybe four or five

and as far as the quantity of microbes

not just the strains

kefir has five times more microbes than

yogurt and a lot of these microbes

survive

uh the stomach acids whereas they don’t

with yogurt now the real unique thing

about kefir is it has not only friendly

bacteria

but it has friendly yeast so the

combination between friendly yeast and

friendly bacteria very important in

their functions also with kefir you’re

going to get less problems with with

lactose intolerance

because those microbes in kefir eat

lactose milk sugar so you’re going to

have less milk sugar and you’re just

going to have less symptoms

especially gas when you have kefir

versus when you have yogurt and there’s

a lot of other benefits with kefir

you’ll have less liver fat you have less

allergies less constipation an improved

immune system better blood sugars better

blood pressure because of

how it acts as an ace inhibitor and

less

pathogens now

regarding sleep itself let’s talk about

what kefir can do directly for your

sleep benefits

your microbes make serotonin in fact 90

of all the serotonin in your body comes

from your microbes so more of the right

microbes the more serotonin and

serotonin is a feel-good hormone it is a

hormone that can affect your mood it can

help reduce stress

not to mention

kefir makes microbes that can make

melatonin directly now there’s several

things in your body to make melatonin in

fact all your cells can make a melatonin

but

mainly people think of the pineal in

your brain that makes melatonin but your

gut also makes melatonin both the

microbes as well as certain cells

specifically an interesting cell called

enterochromafin cell that’s a it’s kind

of an interesting cell because it’s a

neuroendocrine cell so it’s kind of a

half neurological and half

hormone

and those cells make melatonin and they

control inflammation

and they also control acids

and

kefir makes microbes that make the amino

acid tryptophan tryptophan turns into

serotonin and then it turns into

melatonin so again another thing that

will help you

sleep kefir also has a really good

source of bioavailable calcium which can

also help you get to sleep and stay

asleep now the microbes in kefir also

make certain b vitamins including b1

thymine which greatly helps stress

especially if you’re trying to go to

sleep and you’re thinking and you’re

thinking and you can’t turn it off

b1 is what you need

and

the lactobacillus microbe in kefir

helps reduce

cortisol now try to sleep when your

cortisol is too high it’s impossible so

anything you can do to reduce cortisol

will help you sleep so that’s quite a

few things that directly help your sleep

that stem from kefir

now as far as the type of kefir that i’m

going to recommend i highly recommend

that you make your own there’s a really

great website that i get my kefir

crystals from that it’s like a starter

little

group of microbes it’s called kefir live

grains but there’s no grains in it and

the website that i go to is called happy

herbalist.com and i don’t get any cut or

i’m not affiliated with this website but

it’s just a really good source of high

quality um very inexpensive

uh starter

kefir grains i would highly recommend if

you have the choice use goat’s milk but

you can use cow’s milk and on their site

they explain how to do it they send you

a little guide and i will put the link

down below but basically we do is you

just take one tablespoon and you put it

right into

two cups of milk and you don’t need to

heat it or anything you just take it out

of the fridge you put it on your counter

put a little cloth top or even a paper

towel with a little

rubber band and you just wait for a day

24 hours and you have kefir which is not

as thick as yogurt but you’re going to

have a huge benefit of all these great

microbes and you can experiment with the

temperature to make it a little bit

warmer or a little more concentrated or

leave it out for a little bit longer to

make it more sour which means there’s

going to be less lactose in there and

more lactic acid and the cool thing is

you can take these grains out and keep

them in a little bit of milk and then

keep reusing them over and over and over

and this way you have a fresh batch of

kefir

on a regular basis

and i think the next best video for you

to watch

would be the one on

using other things to help yourself

sleep better

you
