Description
Could food be keeping you awake at night? We already know that what we eat affects everything from our weight to our ability to fight viruses, but we’re now learning that it also plays a big role in how much sleep we get at night. On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova to explore how a healthy diet could be the difference between a good night’s rest or tossing and turning all night. The pair also discuss the foods that are most likely to interrupt your beauty sleep and those that will keep you dreaming all night long. Given the enormous role sleep plays in immune function, it is more important than ever to make sure we’re getting a full eight hours! Plus, Dr. Neal Barnard answers a listener’s question about how long the coronavirus can live on fresh fruit and vegetables. He also offers tips on the best way to wash produce to keep the virus from spreading in the kitchen. Chuck then revisits a segment with dietitian Lee Crosby about the side effects of keto diet that might make you think twice about rolling out the red carpet for fat while kicking carbs to the curb.
