Sleep is so important, and I believe this remedy will help you get the sleep you need. The best natural remedy for sleep is kefir. Consume 1/2 cup of kefir before bed for better sleep.

Kefir is similar to yogurt, but it’s better. It has more healthy, diverse microbes than yogurt. Many of these friendly microbes also survive your stomach acids, whereas the microbes in yogurt don’t.

Kefir not only has friendly bacteria but friendly yeast, too. This combination is essential. People with lactose intolerance also have an easier time digesting kefir than yogurt.

Health benefits of kefir:
• Decreased liver fat
• Fewer allergy symptoms
• Improved immune system
• Decreased inflammation
• Less constipation
• Better blood sugar
• Better blood pressure
• Decreased pathogens

Certain microbes make serotonin. The more of the right microbes you have, the more serotonin you’ll have. Serotonin is a hormone that can positively affect your mood and reduce stress.

Kefir provides microbes that make melatonin, which is a sleep hormone. Not only that, but kefir contains microbes that make the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan turns into serotonin and then melatonin.

Kefir is a good source of bioavailable calcium, which can help you get to sleep and stay asleep. The microbes in kefir also make certain B vitamins, which can greatly help with stress and calm a busy mind. The lactobacillus in kefir helps reduce cortisol, which will also help you sleep better.

I highly recommend making your own kefir. You need something called kefir live grains (there is no grain in it) to get started.

Basically, you add 1 Tbsp of the kefir grains to 1 to 2 cups of milk. Then, you set it on the counter and cover it using a cloth or paper towel and a rubber band. After 24 hours, you’ll have kefir.

The fact that we get free videos on YouTube by Doctor Berg is truly a gift. 👍👍👍

This dude knows what he is talking about. I tested the Kefir before bed thing and first off, yes I am sleeping much better. Second my diarrhea went away. Lastly, my morning pain in hips and back is gone by about 95%. I never would have thought that.

ONE POINT I failed to emphasize. Fasting! This video addresses those who having a problem sleeping, so kefir is a great remedy to take before bed. However, depending on your pattern of fasting, this kefir can knock you out of ketosis for a bit of time so shift the time you consume kefir to right after your last meal instead of before bed. Also - if you do plain whole milk kefir and only half a cup - sugars will be pretty small. But if you make it yourself, you can ferment it longer and reduce the sugars - but it will be sour.

I am drinking kefir since I was a child in Europe. I was surprised that some people never heard of it in the USA. So glad that Dr. Berg educating general public. Love it! God bless dr.Breg!

I've been drinking kefir just before bed for the last 2 weeks. I used to wake up once a night. Now I sleep straight through. Thank you Doctor

[greggonzalez]

Dr Berg. Following your advice I’ve lost 60 lbs and improved my health and mind immensely. It’s been over a year now. Thank you so much for all you do. I am very grateful to you.

I have a 30 minute pre-sleep routine which has enabled me to get a great nights sleep every night for years.
15 minutes of meditation, 8 minutes of Tai Chi or QiGong then the last 7 minutes stretching muscles.
By the time I’ve done this my body and mind are so relaxed I sleep peacefully.

All my first 20 years in the USSR we have been given a glass of kefIr (stress on the second syllable) to drink before bed in holiday homes, sanatoriums, , summer camps, hospitals, etc. We only heard of yogurts in Russia in the 1990s... I am still astonished that none of my friends from the West ever heard of kefeer benefits. In the Soviet Union we even had children's stories pubkished about a good kefeer-making microb family abd their adventures among other microbs!

[shelbydietzel]

This is 100% true. I’ve had severe insomnia for a while now and this has allowed me to sleep again.

[Funnyvideos]

Don't know what I'd do without you Dr. Berg. My anxiety is practically non existent thanks to you.

[NB-ldqt]

Before watching this video I tried modifying my diet to have less sugar. I also started taking Kefir. I started to sleep a lot better not knowing this was one of the benefits of Kefir. I thought it must have been from reduced sugar in my diet. It works !

[sablebrown]

Drink 1/2 cup after consuming spicy foods! Works like a charm. I used to eat spicy foods. For me it was the spicier the better, but as I've gotten older my system has truly changed. I've found now I can revisit those spicy foods I had given up by drinking Kefir. It really does neutralize the spice.

[ledtabeth]

Thank you so much Dr. Berg. Since watching your videos 3 years ago, my mental and physical health have been magnificently thriving. I overcame my depression and overweight due to the change in diet and nutrition and now possess the most confident and beautiful physique I could have ever imagined. We are absolutely grateful for your dedication to the public. And Kefir is a gamechanger.

In the former USSR countries KEFIR is also suggested for centuries as a medicine for lung diseases. Greetings from Greece.

[billjohnsonseattle]

THANK YOU once again Dr Berg, i’ve been struggling with insomnia for a couple of years now and this actually works! I can’t believe it! I slept like a baby last night from 10 PM until 7:30 AM and that hasn’t happened in years!

[DodgeDartSongs]

The advice in this video worked for me! I had been waking up with a stuffed nose, breathing through my mouth. I am asthmatic to begin with but even with medication (steroid), I was still waking up. So now with kefir, I am staying asleep.

[andreaandrea]

And... here I am again, listening to this for a second time. I 'm becoming addicted to this channel and am even listening to clips for friends (then forwarding them). Dr. Berg, I find myself talking about you to people all the time now! I love this channel and am incredibly grateful for all the precious knowledge you disseminate. Thank you!

[relaxation-Corner]

This worked for me ! I'm so grateful! I was feeling a bit suicidal after months of bad sleep.
Thank you!!

Dr. Berg. Fom the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you do for the YouTube community.

[bandrec]

Dear Dr. Berg,
I would like to thank you for sharing useful information. After starting keto I lost about 5% of my weight in 40 days. But the most surprising success was increasing my sleep quality. Average night wake-ups decreased from 4 to 1. I even had a 0, which I never observed in last 2.5 years, which is also surprising during hot summer nights. I tried different diets and activities before, but none affected my sleep in a such effective way.
Thank you and wish you the best!
Regards
