Take small steps and enjoy each one. That’s the ticket to healthy eating.

Recent discoveries in the fields of natural remedies and nutrition have uncovered promising breakthroughs in the treatment of chronic health problems such as insomnia, arthritis, and anxiety.

These groundbreaking studies highlight the benefits of specific natural remedies that can improve health outcomes without the possible side effects and addiction of medical drugs.

A study published in the “Journal of Sleep Research” (2023) has revealed that calcium, magnesium, and zinc significantly improve sleep quality in individuals suffering from insomnia. These essential minerals are found in various natural foods, including leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fruits like cherries and bananas.

Participants in the study who supplemented their diet with magnesium and zinc reported better sleep quality, falling asleep faster, and waking up less frequently throughout the night. Sleep specialists recommend magnesium as a key element for enhancing melatonin, a hormone made in the brain that is essential for good sleep..

The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, widely known for their anti-inflammatory properties, have been further reconfirmed by a “Nutrition Research Reviews” (2023) publication. The study demonstrated that omega-3-rich foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can significantly reduce joint pain and stiffness in individuals with arthritis.

Another recent study, which focused on the mineral MSM, was published in the journal “Osteoarthritis Cartilage.” The results showed that compared to placebo, MSM produced significant decreases in knee pain and significant improvement in physical function.  The use of MSM also resulted in better performance of the activities of daily living, as well as reduction in stress and better cardiovascular health.

With arthritis affecting millions of people globally, natural remedies offer an effective alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are often associated with harmful side effects such as gastrointestinal issues and cardiovascular risks.  Joints and More from Nutrition Breakthroughs is a popular example of a supplement containing pure MSM.

***** R. Boulos of Houston, TX. says: “I’ve been taking the Joints and More supplement and it’s helping a great deal. After taking it twice a day, I notice that when I wake up in the morning the pain I was having in my front and back shoulders is almost gone.”

In the realm of herbal remedies, a recent discovery is the potential of the herb ashwagandha to alleviate stress and anxiety and improve mood stability. Published in “Phytotherapy Research” (2024), the study showed that participants who took ashwagandha supplements over 8 weeks had a notable reduction in cortisol levels, a hormone made in the adrenal glands that is responsible for stress.

Insomnia is a widespread issue, with 30% of the people in the U.S. having sleeping problems (per the National Council on Aging). With the recent discovery that calcium, magnesium, and zinc can significantly improve sleep quality and quantity, these minerals are becoming more popular as ingredients in natural sleep aids.  One example is Sleep Minerals II from Nutrition Breakthroughs, widely known as the original calcium and magnesium based sleep aid.

***** Doctor P. P. of Houston, Texas says: “I had developed sleeping problems and took two different sleeping medications over the course of several weeks. When I discontinued them the insomnia came back even worse. I literally got about 20 hours of sleep in 6 weeks time. Sleep Minerals II was just what I needed. I’ve been taking it for a couple weeks and getting many hours of sleep a night. As a doctor I would definitely avoid prescribing sleeping drugs — I would recommend Sleep Minerals II.”

As the demand for natural remedies continues to rise, these new discoveries offer hope for individuals who seek alternative solutions for managing chronic health problems.

These are great snack ideas, some of which I eat daily myself. Also, be sure to get enough calcium and magnesium in your diet for strong bones and muscles. Nuts are rich in these minerals.

Greetings to you,

There’s an informative chart below that has the top 8 ways to boost your immune system  What exactly is the “Immune System”?  The body’s immune system protects us against disease, germs, viruses and microorganisms every day of our lives.  Some of the parts of the immune system are the tonsils, spleen, and bone marrow (where white blood cells are made).

Usually the immune system does a great job of protecting us from illness and disease.  Sometimes a lack of sleep or exercise, chemicals in foods, toxins in the environment, excess sugar, or prolonged stress weakens it.

Regarding white sugar, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that when healthy volunteers consumed a large amount of sugar, their immune system’s white blood cells had an impaired ability to destroy bacteria for at least five hours.  One healthy alternative is whole raw fruit, which makes great desserts and snacks.  Enjoy the chart below and put it to good use!

sleep minerals II

Sleep Minerals II is the original and time-tested calcium and magnesium remedy for better sleep.

Nutrition Breakthroughs has enhanced the product to provide an upgraded formula for those struggling with sleeplessness or insomnia.

With increased amounts of zinc, a shift to sunflower lecithin from soy lecithin, and a reduced serving size, the new formula provides increased benefits for those who seek a more restful night’s sleep.

Sleep Minerals II contains calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and zinc, formulated in a softgel with healthy oils.  The softgel is a unique form that is absorbed and digested more rapidly and fully than tablets or capsules.

Zinc is a vital mineral for sleep regulation and it is also the most important mineral for immune function.  The amount of zinc present in the body is a factor that can determine the quality and quantity of sleep.  Zinc aids in the manufacture of chemical messengers in the brain such as melatonin and serotonin, which support a sound night’s sleep and help to regulate the sleep-wake cycle.

According to the U.S. Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, about half of U.S. women consume less than two-thirds of the Recommended Dietary Daily Allowance of 11 mg. to 12 mg. of zinc. And the amount of zinc people absorb from their meals decreases with advancing age.  The new version of Sleep Minerals II provides 12 mg. of zinc in each softgel.

The balance of calcium and zinc are important to overall health.  In one study from the Human Nutrition Research Center, 18 women increased their calcium intake and this resulted in their absorption of zinc significantly reducing.  This happened regardless of whether they got the extra calcium from milk or from a calcium supplement.

In a second study from the same source, zinc absorption dropped by half when a group of 10 men and women took a calcium supplement with a single test meal. However, adding zinc to the calcium supplement acted to offset this effect.

On its own, calcium is directly related to our cycles of sleep. In one study published in the European Neurology Journal, researchers found that calcium levels in the body are higher during the deepest levels of sleep, such as the rapid eye movement (REM) phase.

This is the phase where dreaming occurs. The study concluded that disturbances in sleep, especially the absence of REM deep sleep or disturbed REM sleep, are related to a calcium deficiency.

Sleep in magnesium deficiency is usually agitated with frequent nighttime awakenings. Chronic sleeplessness is one of the main symptoms of magnesium deficiency.  On the other hand, a high magnesium diet has been found to be associated with deeper, less interrupted sleep. This was proven in a study done by James Penland at the Human Nutrition Research Center in North Dakota.

Regarding vitamin D, researchers in Texas found a definite link between vitamin D deficiency and the current global epidemic of sleep disorders. Their clinical trial followed 1500 patients over a 2-year period.

A consistent level of vitamin D was maintained in the participant’s blood over many months. This produced normal sleep for most of them, regardless of their type of sleep disorder.

Nutrition Breakthroughs is pleased to include sunflower lecithin in the new formula, replacing the former soy lecithin.  Sunflower lecithin is not only a more allergen-friendly option but it provides additional health benefits such as supporting brain function and healthier cholesterol levels.  When used in nutritional supplements, lecithin is known for improving the stability and smooth mixture of the ingredients.

Sleep Minerals II contains all of the most proven and effective minerals and vitamins for good sleep.  It continues to be a safe, drug-free and gentle option for those seeking a time-tested natural sleep remedy. It helps with falling asleep faster, staying asleep longer, sleeping deeper, and waking up refreshed.

***** Wendy R. of Honolulu, Hawaii says: “My friends know that I’ve had chronic insomnia for a long time. Surprisingly, I received the Sleep Minerals II and began taking it and found this thing really works. In the past if I ever got a good night’s sleep I’d say ‘I slept like a baby’, but that’s the wrong comparison. Those little guys get up every two hours. I am actually beginning to sleep like an adult — a much-rested adult.”

***** L.R.C. of Massachusetts says: “I had become dependent on sleeping drugs and couldn’t sleep without them. Now I take the Sleep Minerals before bed and I can sleep through the whole night without drugs. I’m also able to easily fall back to sleep if I do have to get up. Another benefit is this helps alleviate my chronic fatigue and aches and pains.”
