hey guys I recently had a question related to insomnia and Kido the person started aikido and then couldn’t sleep anymore okay so here’s what usually is happening it’s usually a calcium deficiency okay it’s the first thing I would add to the whole mix because sometimes when you do a ketogenic diet if you’re kind of like a subclinical low amounts of calcium in the body it can become more of a major deficiency and show up as muscle cramps and also kind of be like you’re tired but you just can’t turn off like like your head is tired but you just can’t go into that deep sleep so some calcium would benefit greatly but I would recommend taking the calcium with magnesium okay together you can get those in various forms either a powder or actually a tablet make sure it’s not calcium carbonate but if you take calcium magnesium you’re going to be fine because magnesium is another common deficiency that can also affect your sleep so the combination of both of these is really good for sleep take it before bed on empty stomach well you’re probably already gonna do an empty stomach because you’re on in a minute fasting so that’s fine it’s number two this is me the second thing to look at is your potassium levels low if you’re deficient in potassium it can elevate pulse rate blood pressure it could affect the muscles because potassium is a physiological tranquilizer a calm the nervous system down and usually if you’re doing the vegetables you’re gonna be totally fine sometimes you need to take it as a supplement or electrolyte powder and this will definitely help calm the nervous system third thing I would look at is b1 b1 is really good for the excessive thinking that keeps you up at night but this also can calm the body I recommend getting this in a form which is called nutritional yeast make sure it’s non fortified and that will usually help you the other point I want to bring up is if you’re consuming too much protein protein can act as a stimulant and that alone can keep you up so keep your protein between 3 and 6 ounces and the last point I want to bring up is that when your body starts getting into ketosis in general it starts to generate more energy so you might have more energy on Aikido than the sugar thing which is just makes you more tired and so you may have to add more exercise more walking to kind of get the energy out all right thanks for watching hey if you haven’t already subscribed press the button below and I will keep you in the know hey that rhymes
