New blog up on the effects of sleep loss on weight gain! And a new shake recipe by Chef Marcella to promote sleep! SLEEPY shake 1/4 cup of oatmeal 2 dates 10 cashews 1 tsp of cinnamon 6 oz. of coconut milk 1 tsp coconut oil Blend all together and enjoy! Dates, cashews and oats contain an amino acid called tryptophan that releases chemicals melatonin and serotonin in the brain. Both chemicals give the body a happy, drowsy feeling, and play a large role in maintaining the sleep cycle. The healthy fats in the coconut oil help you stay satiated throughout the night and provides your body with usable energy to perform valuable metabolic functions such as muscle repair, throughout the night.
