Sleep Hygiene

In the united states there are more people deficient in sleep than anywhere in the world. Because being over scheduled is a status symbol in American culture, we lose time for sleep. However sleep is not something that should be over looked! I am the Massage Therapist at Carrano Chiropractic, I also suffered from insomnia for about eight years. One day I decided to make some healthy life changes, and magically I instantly became a former insomniac. Here are the reasons for my drastic improvements in my sleeping habits.


1. Stop easing fast food, and other processed foods

2.Get some sunlight during the day, this will release natural melatonin, and also supplement Vitamin D

3. Stop consuming large amounts of sugar

4. It is also my opinion that you should stop eating meats produced with artificial growth hormones



I have been sleeping like a baby since 2006, and have greatly improved my health. Now I want to share the information I have with everyone. I could not be where I am in my life right now if it was not for me improving my sleep habits. I would also like to point out that I do not take any prescription drugs, as it is well known that they have dangerous side effects!

Healthy Vitamin D from the sun

There has been a lot of talk about vitamin D, as a way to prevent health problems. But did you know that the number one source of vitamin D is from the sun.
There are many health benefits from daily sun exposure. Some of them are improved sleeping habits, improved depression, improved digestion, and less colds and flu’s.
If you are new to getting sun exposure there are some rules you should follow. Start off slow, depending on your skin complexion. Start in the spring time, and build up your time in the sun.
This way you will not get sunburn, and remember if you use sunscreen you will be blocking your vitamin D absorption. Wear light colored clothes to the beach, and bring something to cover up in case you start to burn.
If you live north of Los Angles, you will not be able to benefit from the suns health benefits from November to March। During this time you can supplement shiitake mushrooms, or cod liver oil. This way you can keep up with your vitamin D all winter.
