Podcasts about Kefir

Segment 1: Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, joins John Williams to talk about National Kefir Day, what they are doing to celebrate 40 years in business, how the company brought Kefir to the United States, the cultural relevancy of Lifeway Kefir, how much the company has grown, the expansion into other products, the health […]

Kefir changed my life—and I've watched it do the same for thousands of others. In this episode, I'm sharing how this powerful, probiotic-rich drink helped restore my health from the inside out. From lowering blood pressure and balancing blood sugar, to calming the nervous system and boosting immunity, kefir is a living food with ancient roots and modern-day miracles. If your body is crying out for help, kefir may just be the answer it's looking for.

In this bitesize episode, I speak to gut health expert Tim Spector about the link between the microbiome and mental health. Tim explains how the bacteria in your gut produce key brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA — and how what you eat affects stress, mood, energy and even sleep. We also talk about the hidden signs of poor gut health, why 'five-a-day' advice isn't enough anymore, and how ultra-processed foods are quietly reshaping our national health. I share a personal story of how fermented foods helped turn around my own anxiety — and why the gut is a good place to start if you're feeling off balance.

Kathleen investigates a report that kefir may improve memory in Alzheimer's patients. Peter talks about future guests and our featured author. Kathleen's Deep Dive The consumption of Kefir has been shown to improve memory by 68% in Alzheimer's patients. The number of cases globally is expected to increase to 150 million by 2050. However, Kefir can decrease inflammation, suppress oxidative stress and reverse DNA damage.

In this latest Brand Growth Heroes podcast episode, we're talking all things gut health, consumer trends, and brand-building at scale with Vince Lawson, CMO of Biotiful Gut Health, the #1 kefir brand in the UK - recently bought by MULLER!Launched initially as Biotiful Kefir, the brand has undergone a bold transformation to become the go-to name in natural gut health, and the results speak for themselves, with nearly £90M in retail sales pre sale to Muller.Biotiful Gut Health, was founded by Natasha Bowes in 2012 with a mission to bring ancient Kefir recipes to the UK market.  The business has grown rapidly over that period and is now the leading UK gut health brand in the diary sector covering a wide range of kefir related products in drinks, yogurts and other sectors, delivering on Natasha's vision of improving the gut health of the UK and the world by using natural ingredients.As CMO, Vince Lawson takes us inside the engine room of Biotiful, from leading product innovation and marketing to building a category-defining brand in one of the most competitive spaces in food and beverage.

A huge thank you to Phil and his fantastic team – they have guided me though every step of this transaction. Their reputation in the consumer space is well deserved and I would highly recommend Joelson to any founders in the consumer space who need legal support on any form of transaction.”Phil Hails-Smith, Partner at Joelson added:“Congratulations to Natasha on this transaction.  We pride ourselves on being the market leading corporate firm for founders. We are so delighted to have worked with a pioneering female founder who has developed an era defining brand and category based on a clear mission and vision to improve the gut health of their consumers.   It's been a privilege to work with Natasha and her team and I'm sure that Biotiful will go from strength to strength with its new owners.”=============================================================A small favour: If this episode inspires you to think about new ways to drive business growth, please hit FOLLOW and even leave a review!

Episode 435: Rebuild Your Microbiome The Meat: What are the top 3 ways to rebuild your microbiome and the health of your gut? You want an INVINCIBLE microbiome! We're giving you the keys to the car. Number #1: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome…KEFIR. (Not the store bought stuff). Traditional, home fermented kefir. You can get powders from Cultured Food Life (our partner). Even those who think it's too hard… You can do it! You get up to 50 strains of healing bacteria… Drink daily if you can. Purchase Easy Starter: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/easy-kefir-powder/ Number #2: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… BAOBAB. Up to 2-3 TBSP per day Regular baobab consumption significantly increases gut microbiome diversity, as seen in both Hadza tribespeople and modern users, supporting better metabolic health. Baobab helps lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, partly due to its tartness and powerful polyphenols like epicatechin and procyanidins. It naturally promotes GLP-1 production, mimicking the effects of some blood sugar-lowering medications, especially when combined with kefir. Baobab is 70–80% fiber, with two-thirds being prebiotic, which fuels gut bacteria and leads to the creation of health-boosting postbiotics. Buy Our Baobab: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/baobab-boost-powder-11oz-bag/ Number #3: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… Fermented Plants. Compared to high-fiber foods alone, fermented veggies show significantly stronger and faster gut-health benefits. Fermented veggies increase gut microbe diversity, improving whole-body health and immune function. They help lower blood lipids, reduce inflammation, and support healthy weight and blood pressure. Fermented foods reduce the activation of immune cells and decrease inflammatory proteins like interleukin 6. The Power Veggies?

Il microbiota è un alleato prezioso per la nostra salute: ci protegge, ci sostiene e dialoga costantemente con il nostro organismo. Ma come possiamo prendercene cura ogni giorno? In questa puntata di Obiettivo Salute risveglio ne parliamo con il dottor Stefano Vendrame, nutrizionista e divulgatore scientifico, che ci guida alla scoperta del nostro “ecosistema intestinale” e dei suoi segreti. Dalla dieta alla biodiversità alimentare, fino al ruolo degli alimenti fermentati come yogurt e kefir: scopriamo come piccoli gesti quotidiani possano fare una grande differenza per il nostro benessere, a partire proprio dall’intestino.

L'endettement des ménages belges et des entreprises est au plus bas depuis 2015. Mais l'épargne ne rapporte pas grand-chose. Le rendement des nouveaux bons d'État est très faible. Alors que faire de son argent? Et pourquoi pas l'investir dans des entreprises pour favoriser l'émergence de strart-ups? On en parle avec l'invitée du Brief. Mathilde Riga est une jeune entrepreneuse. Elle a lancé Kult Kefir, une boisson fermentée sans alcool qui se pose en alternative saine aux sodas traditionnels. Etudiante en bio-ingé à Londres pendant le covid, elle s'amusait à laisser fermenter des aliments dans la cuisine. Elle en a fait un vrai business finalement. Kult Kefir est présent dans 15 pays européen et vise les 3 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires. Mais attention, alarme Mathilde Riga, le dérapage des finances publiques peut avoir une influence sur le business des entreprises et les priver de subsides importants. À Bruxelles particulièrement, l'absence de gouvernement depuis près d'un an, risque de peser sur l'action d'organes d'aide aux entreprises comme hub.brussels. Il sera aussi question du Brussels Philarmonic, l'orchestre qui accompagne les finalistes du Concours Reine Elizabeth.

1.) Unprocessed raw food is usually the best. Because it lifts up your body and spirit.If you don't believe that, just eat only for one day raw:  fruits, salad or vegetables. Don't eat any seeds, kernels.You will recognize how light your body feels and meditation is so much better. The feelings will be more intense, and the spiritual energy is going natural upwards.Besides that, fermented vegetables should eat everybody.  Because we need Probiotic in our food. We don't need so much protein, - Baby milk has only 1.5% protein and in Tomatoes are 3% protein, in Bananas are more than 10% protein. Animal proteins should be avoided.But not everybody can eat only raw, because everybody is different.   2.) The next best is vegetarian food without industrially processed food, cheese, eggs. How to become a vegan? You have enough time to become better and better. Never set yourself under pressure with a better diet if you don't have to. Fighting for a healthier lifestyle is creating so much tension inside of your body/mind that the change will harm more than to benefit your body.Change in Baby-steps and accept your failures. Look for a group with the same goals.What is the worst food?1.) White sugar and all kind of artificial sugar. White Sugar is a nightmare for the body, it is even worse than smoking, and promotes cancer and diabetes. Instead, sweeten your dishes with honey, brown sugar, coconut sugar, Xylitol or maple-syrup. 2.) Avoid preservatives and pesticides; they are at most in meat and fish products.3.) Alcohol, like wine, beer. With liquor, you lose too much energy; you can't focus …. 4.) White flour is garbage!! - No Nutrition! White flour keeps your energy in your digestion system. The body is dealing with white flour like with white sugar. It promotes diabetes.5.) Margarine and industrially processed oil are so worse; they clog the veins, make you fat and promote diabetes.  6.) All kind of fried food.7.) Meat, fish.8.) Dairy products. Asian people (not like Indo) can't digest cow milk, because they don't have the genes to digest cow milk. Only Kefir or Yogurt can be eaten from people who are used on cow milk. Through the Probiotic in Kefir and Yogurt, the animal protein doesn't harm anymore. My Video: What food is spiritual acceptable?   https://youtu.be/GWWIKRKOIXMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/What-food-is-spiritual-acceptable.mp3

The conversation also critiques popular diets, such as the sugar diet, and emphasizes the necessity of protein and fats in a balanced diet. In this conversation, Richard and Stephen discuss various aspects of the Skool community, including available courses, health concerns related to diet, and the importance of understanding the body's hormonal responses to dietary changes. They delve into specific health issues such as T4 to T3 conversion, the role of the pituitary gland, and the impact of dietary choices on cholesterol and calcium levels.

Uns verbindet ganz eindeutig die Freude am Essen. Und auch die aufrichtige Liebe zu Spaghetti-Eis. Auf anderer Ebene sind dann aber gravierende Unterschiede zu entdecken, denn die Moderatorin, Journalistin und Podcasterin Anna Dushime hat stets ein Fläschchen Kefir in ihrer Handtasche, soll ja sehr gesund sein, aber schon wenn ich es schreibe, zieht sich mein Mund zusammen. Anna kann wunderbar erzählen, hat einen schnellen und schönen Humor und ein gutes Gedächtnis, denn sie kann sich noch an viel von dem erinnern, was lange zurückliegt. „Toast Hawaii“ ist nicht der Podcast, in dem wir diesbezüglich näher ins Detail gehen werden, aber zu Annas Leben gehört nicht nur das ziemlich erfolgreiche und sicherlich angenehme Hier und Jetzt, sondern auch eine Zeit, die extrem gefährlich und herausfordernd war, um dieses verhältnismäßig nüchterne Wort zu benutzen. Sie kam 1988 in Kigali, der Hauptstadt Ruandas, zur Welt. Ihr Vater wird ermordet, die Mutter flieht 1994 mit den Kindern vorm Völkermord über Uganda nach England, 4 Jahre später lebt die Familie in Deutschland. Anna studiert Marketing in den Niederlanden und in Ungarn, es klingt nach einem Leben in Bewegung und vielleicht erklärt das ihren gegenwärtigen Hang zum „Drinnie“-Sein. Zu Hause! Gemütlich! Ihr Schönstes. Und so sprechen wir nicht nur über ihre früheste Kindheit in Ruanda mit Sonntagsbraten und gebratenen Heuschrecken, sondern auch über Spontan-Käufe im Internet, Mi-Nudeln mit Curry, das sogenannte „Marry me“-Chicken und einen Berg Nutella-Toasts, die man natürlich am besten vorm Fernseher isst. *** WERBUNG Toast Hawaii wird unterstützt von dmBio, die Bio-Lebensmittelmarke von dm-drogerie markt. Ganz nach dem Motto „Natürlich lecker erleben“ bietet dmBio mit mehr als 550 Produkten eine vielfältige Auswahl – von leckeren Snacks für zwischendurch bis hin zu original italienischen Tomatensaucen.

Join me for a discussion all about kefir, its origins, its benefits, how to make it and HOW TO USE IT!Sponsor 1: Permies.com FUNDLE $45: https://permies.com/wiki/223017f495/Fundle-fungi-bundle Sponsor 2: AgoristTaxAdvice.com Shout out: Canary Cry Radio! https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=XK4bqtxb1PA  Tales from the Prepper Pantry Bacon Week Slicing Like a Mad Woman Ground Lamb The Carnivore Scotch Egg Test Operation Independence No more TAHOE 1. Why Kefir Matters More than just a probiotic – Kefir is a living ecosystem of bacteria and yeast, offering benefits beyond typical fermented foods. Gut health & digestion – Restores microbiome balance and may help with IBS. Immune system support – Contains natural antibacterial and antifungal compounds. Bone health & longevity – High in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K2, supporting bone density. Why it beats store-bought probiotic drinks – No added sugars, no preservatives, and a wider range of beneficial microbes. The Mysterious Origins of Kefir No one knows! Ancient legends – Believed to have originated in the Caucasus Mountains, with stories linking it to nomadic herders or religious figures. Some claim kefir grains were a gift from the Prophet Muhammad to Orthodox Christians. Others suggest they evolved naturally in animal skins used for storing milk. Why scientists can't recreate it – Unlike yogurt cultures, kefir grains cannot be artificially synthesized, making them a true biological mystery. Kefir grains are a complex symbiotic community (SCOBY) that must be propagated from existing grains. Attempts to isolate and recreate them in labs have failed, suggesting a unique co-evolution with traditional dairy farming. 4. The Science Behind Kefir Fermentation Bacteria vs. Yeast – A Perfect Partnership Bacteria (Lactic Acid Bacteria - LAB) – Convert lactose into lactic acid, lowering the pH and thickening the milk. Yeasts – Break down sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide, adding mild effervescence and contributing to flavor complexity. Acetobacter species – Convert ethanol into acetic acid, giving kefir its subtle tang. How fermentation transforms milk Lactose breakdown – Kefir becomes more digestible for lactose-intolerant individuals. Nutrient enhancement – Increases B vitamins, calcium, and K2, making nutrients more bioavailable. Probiotic boost – Contains up to 50+ strains of beneficial bacteria and yeast, making it superior to yogurt in microbial diversity. How to Make Kefir at Home Basic Steps: Add kefir grains to whole milk (raw or pasteurized, but avoid ultra-pasteurized). Cover loosely and let ferment 12-24 hours at room temperature. Strain the grains, store finished kefir in the fridge, and repeat the process. Troubleshooting Common Issues: Too sour? Shorten fermentation time or use cooler temperatures. Too thin? Use higher-fat milk or ferment longer. Off flavors? Check milk quality and ensure grains are healthy. 6. Ways to Use Kefir Beyond Drinking It Culinary Uses: Smoothies & flavored kefir – Blend with fruit, honey, or spices. Salad dressings & dips – Use as a tangy base for ranch or tzatziki. Kefir cheese & butter – Strain whey to make a spreadable cheese. Second Fermentation for More Flavor & Fizz: How to do it – Store strained kefir in an airtight bottle with fruit or honey for another 12-24 hours. Why it works – Yeasts consume remaining sugars, boosting carbonation. Best add-ins: Citrus peel, ginger, berries, vanilla bean. Make it a great week! GUYS!

 1.) Mindfulness If we start to become mindful (without judging) what we eat then our body lose weight.The worst case is always to judge yourself or to give yourself a bad consciousness for the things that you are doing or aren't doing.Because a bad consciousness can keep us in any bad habit forever.   First, make a diary about everything that you eat on a daily basis. If possible get a small scale and measure the quantity.Second, accept your bad habits for gaining weight.For instance: 6:00 - 6:30 AM Workout with stretching and Qigong6:30 - 7:00 AM Meditation7 o'clock,  breakfast with a green smoothy, (200g bananas, 50g salad, 300g pears, 100g orange, 150g Kefir milk, 1tbsp honey), 7:30 AM 7 Km Bicycle ride, medium speed against the wind to your working place.  10 AM one medium apple and 2 big size bananas.2.) Look, that you eat a lot of fiber. Choose full grain flour over normal flour for all food with grains. For instance: brown rice or basmati rice.Never eat white sugar again. Instead choose honey, brown sugar,… Food with fiber will satisfy our appetite without adding too many calories. 3.) Don't eat industrially processed food like the tomato ketchup, instead, put the fresh tomatoes into a fruit mixer… Cooked tomatoes are very acid and so bad. With industrially processed food, it is impossible to trust our appetite. Because the industrially processed food has ingredients that block our barriers to stop eating so that we overeat. Remember, we need fresh vitamins and enzymes and not that garbage food. 4.) Probiotic. We need for a good digestion a healthy gut flora and that we get through Probiotic. All of our food has ingredients that kill our healthy gut flora. Every day, even I (as a raw cost eater) eat fermented vegetables or Kimchi as a Probiotic. Kefir milk is a Probiotic, too. Understand, 90% of Chinese/South Asian have a milk allergy.   When You can't eat that, take Probiotic. With Probiotic your health and immune system will become much better. 5.) Sleep better and longer to lower your stress level. A lack of sleep will increase our stress level… A higher stress level will cause that you eat more.6.) Suppressed sex will lead to fatness. When the males and females don't enjoy sex they eat more…  So more corpulent a female is so less sexual arousal will the female feel. More sex will lead also to a lower stress level… Sex is good for you.7.) Exercise more that will lower your food consumption and your stress level. Instead of exercising your jaw (for eating) exercise more of the rest of your body.8.) Instead of focusing on only your weight loss, focus on your healthy lifestyle.It is always so if we focus only on our goal we sabotage ourselves. The path is our goal. And so we relax!How do we do it? I hope with fun@!My Video: 8 strategies to lose easier weight… https://youtu.be/YMHCcIp_pXcMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/8-strategies-to-lose-easier-weight.mp3

 They have thrown a baby rat in a bucket of water and stopped the time how long it will swim easily.And then they gave the baby rat Probiotic… The results were outstanding. With Probiotic we feel less anxious and our endurance will be much higher.Even better, if we want to lose some weight with Probiotic it is much easier and faster. Because we need a good digestion and don't want to clog our intestine by reducing our food. We don't want to poison our guts through a too slowly digestion. Our digestion should be fast and efficient.  A slow digestion reduces our power because we need 70% of our energy for the digestion.So worse our digestion through bad bacteria so more we store fat in our body. And we attract with a slow digestion inflammation. We poison our body!Imagine you give a spoiled mango in a basket with ripe mangoes. What will happen? The same will happen in your guts when your digestion is slow. Fresh food will spoil in your gut and will poison your body. The worst scenery is to eat fruits or a sweet dessert after eating a salami pizza. Our digestion will need for the pizza 24 to 36 hours and normally, the fruits need only up to 30 minutes for the digestion. First, the pizza and the fruits will be rotten and fermented to alcohol and poison in our stomach and then delivered to our guts. Our stomach needs up to 18 hours to digest that combination of food. The guts extract the nutrition and need again 12 hours until they excrete the excrement.   Remember, the wine producer put sulfate inside the wine otherwise the wine will be poison….The cancer cells need fermented sugar and love the acid environment that creates the pizza with the sweet dessert.  The gut-brain connection.A worse digestion will affect our body and mind. Our feelings and thoughts can affect our digestion. Our emotion will be processed through our guts. The Oxford University has proved that with their rat and Probiotic experiment.1.) A slow digestion or constipation indicates that we are blocked in our thinking or that we over think - thinking paralyzes.2.) The Diarrhea shows us that we have deep fears. If we improve our digestion, then we reduce the risk of constipation or diarrhea.We should have at least 1 bowels movements/day … Our today food is poison for our guts because it is with antibiotics, arsenic, white sugar, industrially processed food, too fewer enzymes, too less fiber, too much meat, and fish …  And that kills our healthy bacteria in our guts.The Probiotic will replace our unhealthy bacteria with healthy bacteria. The best Probiotic is from fermented vegetables, Korean Kimchi (You can make both by yourself) or Kefir-milk. Eat the fruits before your main meal and wait 30 minutes until the fruits are digested. Almost any industrial processed food has white sugar inside (good for cancer) and no enzymes. All combination with meat and grains need over 14 hours of digestion. Eat meat/fish/poultry only with vegetables. Better is not to eat any meat/fish/poultry.Make a list what you eat every day and in which combination. Don't judge and don't blemish you. A bad consciousness makes everything worse. Accept what you do and change in baby steps.Awareness is always the first step before we can change anything.Start to take Probiotic. My Video: How to get the power back? https://youtu.be/vZ7kimUdJX8My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/How-to-get-the-power-back.mp3

The Winter Solstice, also known as, Yule, is a celebration of the return of the light, making it a wonderful time for merry-making with friends and loved ones. That being said, the Winter Solstice is also a perfect time for deep, inner reflection. As we approach the longest night of the year, consider lighting a candle, putting a log in the fireplace, or simply sitting around the glow of your tree, while reflecting on the past year. Honor your successes…failures… lessons… and consider how you'd like to show up in the year to come. The Winter Solstice provides the perfect backdrop for this ritual. As we wander the woods on this chilly morning, begin to ponder all the ways you'll honor the flame within.What am I reading?Winter Solstice by Rosamunde PilcherYule: A Celebration of Light and Warmth by Dorothy Morrison What's playing on repeat?A Charlie Brown Christmas Album by Vince Guaraldi What's for dinner?Potato, Fennel, Lemon & Dill Soup with Miso, and SauerkrautINGREDIENTS:450g Small Waxy Potatoes, roughly chopped into bite size chunks.1 White Onion finely sliced.1 Bulb Fennel finely sliced.200g Cooked Butterbeans500ml Water2tbsp White Miso50ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus extra to drizzle1 Large Lemon, juice and Zest, plus extra wedges to serve.80ml Kefir (or yogurt, buttermilk or sour cream)Good Crack Black Pepper4tbsp Sauerkraut2tbsp Dill, finely chopped, plus extra to serve.INSTRUCTIONS:Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large pan and add the onion and fennel.

As they sift through bags of new, innovative and unusual beverages and snacks purchased at the high-end retailer, the hosts discuss Erewhon's reputation as a launching pad for emerging brands.

These foods are promoted as healthy, but after watching this, you'll never eat them again! Find out about the 7 foods you should never eat. 1. Granola bars Nature Valley granola bars contain bioengineered food ingredients, which means they're GMO. GMO foods contain glyphosate, an herbicide linked to cancer. Granola bars also contain sugar (probably beet sugar), seed oils, and refined starches. One Nature Valley granola bar serving contains almost 7 teaspoons of sugar! 2. Agave syrup This sweetener is often considered diabetic or keto-friendly because it's low on the glycemic index. Agave is 85% fructose, which the liver must process. The liver treats fructose the same way as alcohol—like a toxin! 3. Flavored yogurt You probably wouldn't consider flavored yogurt as junk food because it's marketed as a healthy, convenient probiotic rich in calcium and protein. At 30 grams of sugar per serving, most flavored yogurts have more sugar than a candy bar! Many probiotics in flavored yogurt won't even survive your stomach acid. Look for whole-fat yogurt, Bulgarian yogurt, or Greek yogurt without the added sugar. Kefir is an even better option and has significantly more friendly bacteria. 4. Non-dairy creamers Non-dairy creamers are often considered a healthy alternative to milk but contain unhealthy ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, and trans fats. Check the ingredients to ensure they don't contain soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. It's best to just use regular cream or half-and-half. 5. Soy milk Soy products like soy milk can cause estrogenic effects like the development of breast tissue in men. Soy milk is not really milk at all! 6. Fast-food lettuce Dressings on fast-food salads contain seed oils, trans fats, hidden starches, and high fructose corn syrup. Fast-food lettuce is coated in a preservative called sodium bisulfite and rinsed in a chlorine wash. 7. Puffed cereals/rice cakes A chemist who worked for Quaker studied rats and noticed they would die after being fed puffed cereal.

More and more research is being conducted around the gut microbiome than ever before, proving what generations of Julie Smolyansky's, CEO of Lifeway, ancestors already knew. The secret to good health and nourishing yourself from within is to drink their sacred recipe of kefir, a cultured dairy product, which has been passed down for over 2000 years. A child of Soviet immigrants, Julie and her family immigrated to Chicago where Julie's father founded Lifeway in 1986, becoming the first Soviet immigrant to take a company public. After the sudden and tragic death of her father at the age of 55, Julie took over the company at just 27 years old. When she was forced to prove herself over and over again and stand up to those who didn't believe in her, Julie held her head high and knew it was her job to carry on what her father had started. With Julie's leadership, Lifeway grew from $6 million to just under $200 million and is the leading kefir brand in the United States today.  Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.

In this podcast, I'm going to tell you how to improve your sleep quality for your best, restful sleep. To do this, you need to optimize the hormone melatonin. Boosting melatonin is great for better sleep, but you also want to avoid the things that inhibit melatonin. If the temperature is 75 or warmer in your room when you sleep, you will have significantly lower melatonin. Keep the temperature between 60 and 69 to optimize melatonin for your best sleep. Sleeping after consuming a large meal can interfere with your sleep. If you're doing intermittent fasting, try having your first meal at breakfast and your last meal at lunchtime. Avoid blue light in the evening because it suppresses melatonin. Try increasing sun exposure during the day, which provides vitamin D and also helps build up melatonin. EMF waves, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, medications, high-carb diets, and exercise before bed inhibit melatonin. Avoid these things for better sleep. Try these 5 foods to boost melatonin and improve sleep quality: 1. Tart cherries contain melatonin and tryptophan, which turns into serotonin and then melatonin. Research has shown that tart cherry consumption increases sleep for some people by 84 minutes! 2. Kiwis contain serotonin, a precursor to melatonin. One study found that people who consumed 2 kiwis per day for 4 weeks had a significant improvement in quality of sleep, length of sleep, the time it takes to fall asleep, and the feeling of being refreshed upon waking. 3. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and trout boost melatonin. 4. Kefir is similar to yogurt but has even more microbes. Try blending it with berries, which are rich in polyphenols for better sleep. 5. Sauerkraut contains microbes and tryptophan to help improve your sleep. Cabbage also increases the neurotransmitter GABA, which helps calm you down. Focusing on slow breathing through your nose can also improve sleep.
