let’s talk about sleep apnea did you realize that  98% of people with sleep apnea have low vitamin d  

according to a study that i just read which  i’ll put a link down below so sleep apnea  

or obstructive sleep apnea which is known as osa  is majorly linked with a low vitamin d situation  

so we’re going to discuss this okay so vitamin  d significantly reduces inflammation and i’m  

talking about the tissues in the back of the  throat as well as in the back of the sinuses  

many times those tissues are inflamed and  that can be the reason why you can’t breathe  

at night also vitamin d supports an overactive  immune system and many times when you have an  

overactive immune system you have certain parts  of your body certain tissues that are inflamed  

the sinuses the back of the throat and even the  lungs and that can abstract your breathing and  

then vitamin d also has a direct effect on your  sleep cycles it helps you get into a deep restful  

rejuvenating sleep it helps support the delta  wave of your sleep which is the deeper levels of  

sleep and without sleep you just don’t get enough  repair now i just want to differentiate between  

the type of vitamin d in this video i’m talking  about vitamin d3 not vitamin d2 there’s been some  

reports that vitamin d2 can actually create  insomnia so you always want to make sure you  

take vitamin d3 so deficiency in vitamin d affects  both sleep apnea and your sleep quality in general  

without vitamin d you’re more likely to get low  back pain which is going to keep you up at night  

i mean try to sleep with low back pain it’s very  difficult also snoring is linked to a vitamin d  

deficiency i mean snoring can actually wake you  up by itself and if your spouse is deficient in  

vitamin d and they’re snowing that can keep you  up and then i also mentioned less delta wave sleep  

the delta wave is where you get this nice deep  rejuvenating sleep and without vitamin d it’s very  

difficult to get into that delta wave sleep now  without vitamin d your stress levels are higher  

your mood is usually lower and you’re not going to  be able to sleep with more stress without vitamin  

d your cortisol levels will be off and without  proper cortisol balance that can affect your  

sleep as well cortisol is a stress hormone and  too much cortisol keeps you in this flight or  

fight mode and also if you don’t have enough  vitamin d you might tend to grind your teeth  

which can affect your sleep cycles as well  probably because you have this internal stress  

that you’re just not able to fully relax i always  recommend taking vitamin d with magnesium because  

magnesium not only helps the absorption of vitamin  d but it can prevent leg and foot cramps at night  

which can also keep you up and lastly vitamin  d is majorly associated with insulin resistance  

so if you have insulin resistance first of all  you’re not going to be able to absorb vitamin d  

very well and if you have low vitamin d your  chances of developing insulin resistance go  

up because vitamin d is essential in maintaining  the beta cell of your pancreas that cell that  

produces insulin and vitamin d helps keep the free  radicals and the oxidation at a very low state in  

that beta cell so in other words to keep this to  a short video if you have sleep problems or sleep  

apnea just start taking more vitamin d and i would  recommend a minimum of 10,000 iu of vitamin d  

right before you go to sleep and make sure  you take magnesium with it so if you’re
