How to Detox, Reduce Stress and Sleep Better
This is a short video Drew Taddia talks about how to sleep better by reducing stress and detoxing your body.
I’m not sure too many people put the connection together that toxins that cause stress on our bodies is preventing us from getting a restful night sleep.
The first thing we want to do is stop putting so many toxins in our body. We need to start paying attention every ingredient we’re consuming and be careful whatever it is, isn’t filling our body with toxins and putting stress on our body.
The next thing we want to do is pay attention to our environment late in the evening. If we’re watching action movies, loud music or other things that stimulate our brain (like working) we’ll have a difficult time putting ourselves in a restful state shortly after to sleep better.
And finally, speaking of stimulants, we need to pay attention to stimulants we are consuming late in the evening. Stimulants regarding highly processed sugary processed food, alcohol, tobacco and more only put more stress on our body. As much as we feel these stimulants are relaxing they really aren’t. These stimulants are waking us up internally and preventing us from putting our body in a relaxed state.
So those are three things that can help you Detox your body, reduce stress and sleep better!

Reducing your stress levels before bed. We can do this through meditation, a relaxing book or a detoxing bath. Soft music also helps, and a number of other things to help quiet your mind.

If you look at it as sugar being a stimulant then it might help you understand why have sugar throughout the day and especially at night will keep you up or prevent you from getting into that deep REM sleep.
It’s important to pay attention to our daily habits, for example if you’re regularly having sugary drinks and snacks right before bed while you’re watching your favourite netflix series or a movie.
Changing your habits to healthier ones will certainly make a difference.
