Re: [fast5] Re: Why Sleep is More Important Than We Ever Thought

 

Next time that happens, try eating more eggs? Seems that the orexin
in eggs helps counteract the "brain fog" effects. Turmeric helps too.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Brussels Sprout Potato-Spinach Gratin - 26.2g Carbs, 5.8g Fiber, 4.8g Sugar

 

Brussels Sprout Potato-Spinach Gratin - 26.2g Carbs, 5.8g Fiber, 4.8g Sugar

 

From : www.caloriecount.about.com   - Source:  The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation  by Mollie Katzen 

"I
designed this as a vegetarian entree that could be paired with a simple large
colorful salad. It's also a delicious main dish that non-vegetarians can enjoy,
especially with "vegetarian for everyone at least sometimes" becoming
a trend. Anyone who wants the meal to have more animal protein can add a couple
of poached eggs, and meat lovers can pair the gratin with their favorite
version of simple grilled chicken (and still include the salad)."  ~Mollie Katzen 

Blanched
Brussels sprouts and potatoes are combined with onions, garlic, and spinach,
and baked under a lacy roof of grated cheese and coarse bread crumbs. The
resulting dish might well become a comfort-food dinner regular in your
household.

Servings :  6 - 8

 

1 lb smallish potatoes, in 1/8
inch thick half circles (peeling optional)

1 lb Brussels
sprouts, in 1/8 inch slices (include all
the leaves that fall off while you're cutting it)

1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp unsalted butter

2 cups onion, chopped (3/4 lb)

1 tsp salt

2 tsp minced or crushed garlic

1/2 lb spinach, baby leaves or coarsely chopped larger leaves

Black pepper

1/4 cup low fat milk, cream, or half and half

1 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs*

1 packed cup grated Gruyere or Emmantaler cheese

Paprika, plain or smoked (optional)

 

*To get the right amount of bread crumbs, toast 2
slices of your favorite whole wheat sandwich bread, then crumble coarsely by
hand. You can also use a food processor, but don't take them to fine—keep the
crumbs the size of pomegranate seeds.

 

Set the oven rack on the highest rung that will fit
your baking pan, and heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 X 13-inch baking
pan or equivalent gratin pan with about ½ tablespoon olive oil and set it
aside. Mostly fill a medium-large saucepan with water and put it up to boil,
and place a colander in the sink. When the water boils, slowly add the potatoes
and Brussels sprouts, and cook them together for about 10 minutes, or until
they become fork-tender. Dump them into the colander, and shake to thoroughly
drain. Meanwhile, place a large (10- to 12-inch) skillet over medium heat and
wait about a minute, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Melt in the butter, swirl again, and then add the onion and ¼ teaspoon salt,
and sauté for about 8 minutes, or until the onion becomes very soft, verging on
golden. Stir in the garlic and then lay the spinach on top to wilt. (It will
oblige you very quickly.) Stir it in, along with the drained potatoes and B.
sprouts, another ¾ teaspoon salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. Turn
off the heat, pour in the cream, and mix to get everything thoroughly
distributed, then transfer to the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with bread
crumbs and grated cheese, and dust it lightly with paprika, if desired. Bake
for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is perfectly melted and turning
golden. Serve hot or warm.

Re: [fast5] Why Sleep is More Important Than We Ever Thought

 

Thanks Tamara!

BTW that happens to fit nicely with my uric acid experiment, as yet another variable! Turns out that people who get less sleep ... their uric acid levels go up. It's known that gout is related to sleep apnea, but since gout is also related to obesity which causes sleep apnea, it's hard to know which is the chicken and which is the egg. But with someone sleeping less just as an experiment: 

So it was back to the doctor to see what was wrong. The results were unmistakable: my levels of uric acid, a waste product in the blood that results from the body breaking down foods, had gone up — from 409 µmol/l (micromoles per litre) to 417 µmol/l and rising. 

Uric acid is associated with diabetes — and gout. For the first time in my life, it seems I had gout in my little toe, according to the doctor.

But there was a longer term worry. Gout is a common form of inflammation. 
Inflammation is linked to sleeplessness — scientists at the American Heart Association have found that when we sleep fewer than six hours a night, the levels of inflammatory substances in our blood can jump by a quarter.

...

And if the inflammation didn't kill me, obesity would. I have been a muesli-munching vegetarian for three decades, which has helped to keep me on the dietary straight and narrow. 

But within just a few days of sleeplessness I was overwhelmed by strange, powerful cravings and I found myself urgently spooning peanut butter and jam straight from the jars and into my mouth.

What was going on? 

In fact, it's well known that your appetite hormones get knocked out of kilter by tiredness, wakeful nights and poor-quality sleep. 

One study found that cutting sleep down to just four hours increased people's levels of ghrelin, a hormone that increases appetite, by 28 per cent after only two days

On curing gout by curing sleep apnea:

http://www.freewebs.com/goutcure/


There are a lot of other factors that raise uric acid levels, with fructose being one of the big ones, along with certain species of fish and certain meats. But also some that lower uric acid, such as vinegar, lemon juice, egg whites, some vegies and fruits. What I've found is that if I stick to the "low uric acid foods" ... i.e. all the ones that seem to help gout patients ... my hunger level goes WAY down. Now I need to make sure to get enough sleep too!

Not sleeping enough-less than seven hours of sleep per night-can reduce and undo the benefits of dieting, according to research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. In the study, dieters were put on different sleep schedules. When their bodies received adequate rest, half of the weight they lost was from fat. However when they cut back on sleep, the amount of fat lost was cut in half-even though they were on the same diet. What's more, they felt significantly hungrier, were less satisfied after meals, and lacked energy to exercise.

[fast5] Why Sleep is More Important Than We Ever Thought

 

Why Sleep is More Important Than We Ever Thought

Not sleeping enough-less than seven hours of sleep per night-can reduce and undo the benefits of dieting, according to research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. In the study, dieters were put on different sleep schedules. When their bodies received adequate rest, half of the weight they lost was from fat. However when they cut back on sleep, the amount of fat lost was cut in half-even though they were on the same diet. What's more, they felt significantly hungrier, were less satisfied after meals, and lacked energy to exercise. Overall, those on a sleep-deprived diet experienced a 55 percent reduction in fat loss compared to their well-rested counterparts.
