The Bedroom Secret for an A+ Heart

By Jack Taylor Posted June 26, 2020

Dear Turapür Today Reader,

You know how important it is to take care of your heart health – and at EVERY stage of life.

And you want to do it naturally and WITHOUT prescription drugs.

You exercise regularly… you eat well… and chances are you maybe even take a heart-healthy supplement like omega-3 fatty acids.

But what if I told you there was something else you could be doing to help keep your heart bulletproof?

And what if you were already doing it on a daily basis… but that you just needed to try and do MORE of it?

That’s right folks, I’m talking about getting enough sleep!

For years, researchers have known that there is an association between interrupted sleep and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanism that causes this increased risk has eluded scientists… until now!

According to a research team at the University of California at Berkeley, interrupted sleep causes an inflammatory response that can cause atherosclerosis (the clogging of arteries by cholesterol plaque) to worsen and increases the risk of stroke.

It’s important to note that the research team emphasized interrupted sleep as the key risk factor.

In other words, we all know it’s important to get 7-8 hours of shut-eye each night… but tossing, turning, and not getting into that optimal sleep ‘zone’ is what is contributing to the deadly inflammatory response that can trigger the increase risk of heart issues.

So how make sure you’re getting enough sleep… WITHOUT the interruption? And even more importantly, WITHOUT over-the-counter sleep aids?

Consider some of these safe, NATURAL sleep-promoting supplements as part of your heart-healthy regimen.

Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone your body produces naturally, which signals your brain that it’s time to sleep. Melatonin supplements have become a popular sleeping aid, particularly in instances where the melatonin cycle is disrupted.

Melatonin supplements help reduce the time people need to fall asleep and INCREASE the total amount of sleep time… which is exactly what the UC Berkley team linked to long term heart health.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of processes in the human body, and is important for brain function and heart health. It can also help quiet the mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep.

Studies show that magnesium’s relaxing effect may be partly due to its ability to regulate the production of melatonin.

Magnesium is widely available both as a supplement AND in countless foods.

Reliable magnesium supplements can be found at health food stores and online retailers. And foods like pumpkin seeds, spinach, and even mouthwatering dark chocolate are chock full of magnesium.

Lavender

Lavender is a plant that can be found on almost all continents. It produces purple flowers that, when dried, have a variety of household uses.

Lavender’s soothing fragrance is believed to enhance sleep. In fact, several studies show that simply smelling lavender oil for 30 minutes before sleep may be enough to improve the quality of sleep

The next time you’re looking to get a better night’s sleep, consider using some of these natural methods. Your heart will thank you!
