SUPERFOODS FOR BETTER SLEEP

Having trouble sleeping? There's an adaptogen for that. Read on before reaching for that bottle of sleeping pills tonight.

It all starts with keeping our pineal gland in check. The pineal gland produces melatonin, which helps maintain circadian rhythm and regulate reproductive hormones. ​When our pineal gland is calcified, we’re out of balance with our basic biological functioning, 

How exactly does calcification happen? It happens naturally to everyone, but is increased in those who eat a poor diet, particularly high in fluoride and phosphorus, which destabilize our mineral balance. 

The key to better sleep is decalcifying and removing toxins such as lead, fluoride and heavy metals to purify your gland and balance the circadian rhythm to allow for better sleep and hormone balance along with clearer intuition and spiritual development. 

Among our favorite additives is chlorella, a green algae native to Taiwan and Japan is a highly rich superfood containing phytonutrients, such as amino acids, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, magnesium and the B-complex vitamins. Its effects are removing metal toxins, increased oxygen levels and boosting immune functions for a reversal of pineal gland calcification.

Chlorella is found in many of our vegan dishes here at Planted, and can also be added upon request. Come and visit us at 333 Smith Street in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn to try some of them out!
