hey guys I recently had a question

related to insomnia and Kido the person

started aikido and then couldn’t sleep

anymore okay so here’s what usually is

happening it’s usually a calcium

deficiency okay it’s the first thing I

would add to the whole mix because

sometimes when you do a ketogenic diet

if you’re kind of like a subclinical low

amounts of calcium in the body it can

become more of a major deficiency and

show up as muscle cramps and also kind

of be like you’re tired but you just

can’t turn off like like your head is

tired but you just can’t go into that

deep sleep so some calcium would benefit

greatly but I would recommend taking the

calcium with magnesium okay together you

can get those in various forms either a

powder or actually a tablet make sure

it’s not calcium carbonate but if you

take calcium magnesium you’re going to

be fine because magnesium is another

common deficiency that can also affect

your sleep so the combination of both of

these is really good for sleep take it

before bed on empty stomach

well you’re probably already gonna do an

empty stomach because you’re on in a

minute fasting so that’s fine it’s

number two this is me the second thing

to look at is your potassium levels low

if you’re deficient in potassium it can

elevate pulse rate blood pressure it

could affect the muscles because

potassium is a physiological

tranquilizer a calm the nervous system

down and usually if you’re doing the

vegetables you’re gonna be totally fine

sometimes you need to take it as a

supplement or electrolyte powder and

this will definitely help calm the

nervous system third thing I would look

at is b1 b1 is really good for the

excessive thinking that keeps you up at

night but this also can calm the body I

recommend getting this in a form which

is called nutritional yeast make sure

it’s non fortified and that will usually

help you the other point I want to bring

up is if you’re consuming too much

protein protein can act as a stimulant

and that alone can keep you up so keep

your protein between 3 and 6 ounces and

the last point I want to bring up is

that when your body starts getting into

ketosis in general

it starts to generate more energy so you

might have more energy on Aikido than

the sugar thing which is just makes you

more tired and so you may have to add

more exercise more walking to kind of

get the energy out all right thanks for
