S1 Ep5: Sleep

On this week’s podcast, we discuss Natures miracle healer, otherwise known as Sleep. Sleep is fundamental to health. As humans we spend one third of our lives sleeping. A great deal of what happens to us is unknown, but it is clear that our biological need for it is irrefutable. It’s also clear that as a society we’re not getting enough and this has health consequences. Not getting enough sleep is associated with conditions including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and weight gain.   If you have difficulty sleeping, please do not fear. There are many things that could help. We go through these suggestions in the podcast. We discuss why you shouldn’t stay in bed if you’re struggling to sleep. We also discuss how light, food and drink, temperature and routine can be used to your advantage to improve your sleep. You can find more information about the Fresh Heart Project on our website www.freshheartproject.com. If you have any suggestions or if you would like to share your own personal story please do get in touch @freshheartproject on Instagram, @freshheartproj on Twitter or via the website. Remember great change comes with small steps that empowers you to live a life that you love.
