Does Tryptophan in Turkey Really Make You Sleepy?

 

Dr. Berg talks about what really makes your sleepy after a Thanksgiving meal. He says "I always get this question, so I created a very short video to show you the "other" reasons for sleepiness after that Thanksgiving meal."

Ban Artificial Sweeteners from your Diet

Butter or Margarine. Which is Better
Use butter in your holiday recipes rather than margarine

Here's the reason why. Organic butter is in no way harmful to your body. In fact, it is one of the best sources of Vitamin A and is just as important for your immune system as Vitamin C. Butter also contains lecithin, which is the antagonist for cholesterol. Lecithin helps dissolve cholesterol so by avoiding butter you avoid the antidote (Lecithin), the very thing that will keep your cholesterol in a normal range.
 
Margarine, on the other hand, is made from cheap corn, cottonseed and soy oils. The oils are heated to very high temperatures, which destroy any nutritional value and the oils are also hydrogenated (added hydrogens to make a liquid into a solid). What is left is a gray colored, artificial plastic, which doesn't smell good and then it has to be bleached to remove color and smell. Lastly, food coloring and artificial flavoring are added.

Contrary to popular advertising, butter is the healthy choice so use it in your recipes.
