So, we're talking about something today that everybody deals with,
and you've dealt with it in the past:
sleep issues.
So, there's this banana-cinnamon tea recipe that we're going to make,
that's going to help load the body with potassium,
magnesium, minerals that will actually help you sleep.
I don't know what you do with the banana in that,
I'm making a frapp.
You know that more than forty percent of americans,
are walking around, well not this guy,
but most are walking around with less than the recommended amount of sleep.
Forty percent, that's insane? I know! And when you're actually sleep deprived and tired,
and you actually like jump in your car and do something that you would do every day,
it's just as dangerous as drunk driving.
So, did you know that the National Highway Association actually estimates
that fatigue is the cause of a hundred thousand auto crashes in the US every single year.
It's all preventable but we have to take control over sleep.
I was reading another survey, and it actually said thirty-seven percent of people in America,
which is about, like a hundred and three million,
a hundred and three million exactly, have reported falling asleep at the wheel.
I fall asleep during your videos. You do? Is that dangerous?
Our editorial director, Sheree, has actually fallen asleep at the wheel of the car
and she actually totaled her car. She's lucky she's alive.
We didn't heard anybody else, that's dangerous.
Had she known about this one little simple remedy?
Things could have been different.
Let's talk about what is this. Alright!
So, you're a psychologist.
I actually have a background in clinical hypnosis and psychotherapy.
So, the physiological aspect of the lack of sleep, actually hurts the cognitive process,
makes you hallucinate,
You loss of judgement.
Your decision-making become so poor,
that you just stopped caring about things.
So, some of the other risks are heart disease, heart attacks, heart failure,
high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, low sex drive, depression.
Oh, did you just say low sex drive?
Really low sex drive!
We need to look at this issue.
Banana has contain high levels of potassium and magnesium,
which is known as muscle relaxers, right?
So, they relax your muscles.
So, Sean had too much bananas, and the magnesium and potassium,
have actually causing him to pass out right here.
The highest dose of these minerals are actually found in the peel of bananas,
which is why we are going to use them in a recipe today.
I'm looking forward to it.
Melatonin is the hormone that actually helps you sleep,
that's why some people take melatonin pills before bed.
I like to sit in front of a red light.
Yeah! Red lights and green lights.
Turning off all of the LED lights in your house
before bed, actually help increase your melatonin.
Salt lamps help increase your melatonin levels,
and banana peel is the same thing.
So, the next sleep enhancing ingredient is cinnamon.
Research has found that cinnamon actually helps the body balance blood-sugar levels,
which is proper for hormone function.
So, a little bit of cinnamon on your tongue
before you go to bed with some sea salt and sugar.
So, the recipe, really easy; one banana,
a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon,
and three cups of water.
So, here's what we're going to do.
Cut-off the stem from the top and bottom of the banana,
place the banana in a pot of boiling water, and boil for 10 minutes,
sprinkle in the cinnamon, about two teaspoon.
Are you ready to try this?
Here we go!
I never thought I'd like banana peel.
It's got a good taste to it.
I think,
I think, we need to let it stay a little longer.
I mean, a little more banana taste.
So, you think, we didn't cook it long enough?
No. We didn't.
So, maybe, like a minute longer.
Got it! Lets put it back on the stove.
That will tell you,
you can sleep really good.
So, lots of breathing, laughter, Pink's lamps, turn off your LED lights before bed.
Try this recipe.
No television before bed, no internet surfing,
don't be on your phone, dont be around electronic devices.
Think about your day tomorrow, what's going to be great, think about your life
that you're grateful for,
get positive visions,
get excited to go to sleep.
Are you tired again?
I'm tired of your mouth.
Are you tired?
I think I'm going to take a nap.
Can we cuddle? Yeah! can we cuddle?
Bye guys?
Till next time.
Saturday strategy.
Remember,
we really are in this together.
Little cute. Literally. Little too much in this.
