Tips and Supplements for Longevity

FOCUS ON: SLEEP SUPPORT

Introduction to Sleep Support

Sleep is essential for physical and mental health, aiding in recovery, memory consolidation, and emotional processing. Quality sleep helps regulate mood, improve brain function, and maintain overall health. Disruptions in sleep can lead to a variety of health issues, making it important to support good sleep hygiene and habits.​

​​​

​​

Lifestyle Changes

Implementing certain lifestyle changes can greatly enhance sleep quality:

  • Diet: Eating a balanced diet that avoids heavy meals close to bedtime.

  • Exercise: Regular physical activity can promote better sleep, especially if done earlier in the day.

  • Stress Management: Practices like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga can reduce stress and improve sleep.​​

​​​

​​

Supplements to reduce Inflammation

Some supplements are well-regarded for their ability to support better sleep:

  • Melatonin: Helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, particularly useful for shift workers and those with jet lag.

  • Magnesium: Known to promote relaxation and has been linked to better sleep quality.

  • Valerian Root: Often used to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and improve sleep quality.

​​

​

Diet and Nutrition

Dietary recommendations for better sleep include:​

  • Avoid Caffeine and Nicotine: These stimulants can disrupt sleep if consumed close to bedtime.

  • Limit Alcohol: While it might help initiate sleep, it disrupts sleep later in the night.

  • Focus on Complex Carbohydrates and Lean Proteins: Foods like whole grains and turkey can promote sleep due to their components that aid in serotonin production.

​

​

Exercise and Physical Activity

Beneficial exercises for improving sleep include:

  • Aerobic Exercises: Activities like walking, jogging, or swimming can help deepen sleep.

  • Yoga and Stretching: These can help reduce stress and physical discomfort, which might interfere with sleep.

  • Consistency and Timing: Engaging in regular exercise at least three hours before bedtime is optimal.

Reference Material​

  • More than a third of Kiwis aren't getting enough sleep!

  • Something that may be an overlooked factor in New Zealand's poor rates of mental health.

  • A recent study suggests that nearly 40% of Kiwis are spending fewer than seven hours on the pillow each night - short of the optimal seven to nine hours.

  • That rate is concerning as poor sleep is consistently linked to problems ranging from psychological distress, poor health, self-esteem and life satisfaction
