hey guys dr. Berg here now last time I talked  about foods that help you sleep today I’m going  

to talk about the foods that prevent sleep being  all right number one snacking now what is snacking  

do well every time you eat regardless of what you  eat you trigger insulin and this whole idea of six  

small meals a day is a nut is not good because  every you’re actually jacking up that insulin  

all the time you’re going to develop insulin  resistance that’s a pre-diabetic situation now  

the problem with that is it gives you frequent  urination at night preventing sleeping so we  

don’t want that secondly it will give you sleep  apnea eventually it swells the back of the final  

sinus passages back there and we don’t want that  so insulin resistance is something that we can  

actually correct if we don’t snack too frequent  next one is sugar well of course this relates to  

the insulin resistance because every time you need  sugar not only will it trigger insulin and create  

the same situation but it’s going to create  a depletion of potassium the normal relaxer  

I mean there’s times in my past where I ate so  much sugar that I was up all night long because  

my heart was just pounding because I didn’t have  the potassium so sugar is a no now when you try  

and sleep okay now three is protein protein is  a stimulant protein will is high in phosphorus  

it’ll wake you up especially too much protein  now I’m not against protein you need to do some  

protein a moderate amount but try not to go too  much especially late at night because you’re  

not going to be able to sleep especially if we  actually have a lot of protein and no vegetables  

that would be bad okay coffee and tea well the  caffeine right caffeine is a stimulant now here’s  

the thing I’m not a post for you doing like a  small thing of coffee if there’s no sugar but  

if you do like several that’s not good if you’re  doing tea all day long that’s not good because  

that caffeine takes a while for your liver to  detoxify it and that will keep you up at night  

okay alcohol alcohol will just dehydrate you  it also messes with your liver it will keep you  

up it is with a growth hormone which is how that  helps you sleep so it does a lot to your hormones  

and it’s definitely going to prevent you from  going to sleep next one is a protein plus sugar  

so if you combine like lobster with a dessert  or hamburger with a fry so our hamburger with  

the bun you’re going to raise insulin and that’s  going to again create that insulin resistance and  

keep you up because you’re peeing all night  and you’re going to probably feel bloated  

you’re going to gain weight in the midsection  which also is going to prevent because there’s  

if you have so much fat in your midsection  the space in there is going to be compressed  

up into your lungs especially if you’re trying  to sleep so that can actually prevent you from  

getting a comfortable sleep - because that  belly is always in the way the other thing  

too is the drinking excessive amounts of water  so you want to drink when you’re thirsty don’t  

drink too much and and as far as being hydrated  hydrated goes if you drink outside a vinegar or  

lemon with your water that’s more hydrating just  water alone but just don’t over drink alright go
