sleep disorder
Insomnia or sleep disorder is an unpleasant condition that is characterized not only by problems with falling asleep, but also by interrupted sleep. Early awakening also indicates insomnia. But is this condition so dangerous?
Indeed, a sleep disorder is not just an unpleasant phenomenon, but a real problem that leads to disruption of the central nervous system. The fact is that the lack of proper sleep does not give rest to the brain, and if such a situation is repeated regularly, the nervous system is overstrained, which begins to affect the whole state of the body in a bad way. In this case, the person feels:
- weakness and drowsiness during the daytime;
- memory loss and problems concentrating;
- decreased performance and fatigue;
- irritability and apathy.
However, this is only the “tip of the iceberg” of the problems that a person has with a systematic sleep disorder. Subsequently, such a patient's immunity decreases, infectious diseases occur, chronic pathologies and hormonal problems become aggravated.
It becomes quite obvious that this problem needs to be fought, and measures to avoid stress and change sleep patterns alone are clearly not enough here. With a complaint of insomnia, you should consult a doctor who will identify the cause of the disease and prescribe medications that help fight this unpleasant condition.
As for the person himself, he can contribute to the normalization of sleep, including through nutrition (in addition to other methods), in particular, through juices that help to fall asleep with a sound healthy sleep and not wake up until late in the morning. What are these drinks and how to take them correctly, we will tell below.
Recipes for the best juices for sleep disorders

According to somnologists, i.e. According to sleep experts, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder, affecting more than 35% of the world's population. Persons with this condition have difficulty falling asleep in the evening and often wake up in the middle of the night. All this affects drowsiness during the day, decreased performance and the "inhibited" state of a sleepy person.
How to help such people? First of all, look for leafy vegetables like kale and spinach. These crops are rich in magnesium, a trace element that perfectly relaxes muscles and calms nerves.

Drinking such a wonderful drink should be in the evenings, 1.5 hours before bedtime. The duration of treatment is one month.

Then the person takes a sharp breath and for a few seconds his breathing stops. After some time, he begins to convulsively grab air and restores his breathing. Such pauses in breathing during the night can occur dozens of times, and after each of them a person wakes up, disturbing his sleep. Naturally, such a problem affects the state of the body, because a person does not get enough sleep, experiencing a strong desire to sleep throughout the day. But there were cases when respiratory arrest caused by apnea led to death!
How to deal with this condition? Representatives of traditional medicine suggest increasing the amount of foods rich in fiber, which means eating more broccoli and artichokes, apples and pears. The following recipe will be especially useful for getting rid of this condition.

Useful properties and harm of apple juice
How to prepare and drink apple juice
The best juice is made at home from natural ingredients, without synthetic colors and preservatives. For such juice, you can take any apples, it is desirable that they are juicy and not soft. Well, if you have a juicer, then juicing will not take time at all. But even if it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Making apple juice is not difficult without it. To do this, you can use the good old way: grate apples and then squeeze through a sieve or gauze. In any case, such freshly prepared juice should be consumed within a few minutes after pressing. Store this juice tightly closed in the refrigerator. The shelf life of the product is no more than a day. For longer storage, you can use canned juice and even prepare it for the winter.
Usually, freshly squeezed juices are not consumed at night, as they cause fermentation in the intestines. Also, numerous reviews recommend not taking it in its pure form, but diluting it with water or other juices.
It is correct to drink apple juice through a straw so as not to damage the tooth enamel with organic acids contained in it.
Preparing canned juice for the winter
Making canned juice does not take much time either. Such juice can be obtained in two ways: in the first case, a juicer is useful, and in the second, a juicer will help. In both cases, canning apple fresh is a labor-intensive and rather entertaining process. In any case, for harvesting for the winter, the product must be pasteurized at a high temperature.
In the first case, you need to squeeze the juice with a juicer and place it in an enamel bowl. Bring it to a boil, constantly skimming off the resulting foam. If you like, you can add a couple of tablespoons of sugar. If you need juice with pulp, then you can roll it up at this stage. If without pulp, then first it must be carefully filtered through several layers of gauze, then heated again and then poured into jars.
In the second case, you just need to cook the apples cut into pieces in a juicer. They will heat up and begin to release liquid. The process must take place at high heat, otherwise it will stand out very slowly and the juice will cool before we roll it into jars. We boil them until they are completely softened, and then we collect the juice and preserve.
You can also cook juice in a slow cooker, this process will take only five minutes. To do this, wash the apples, peel, cut into cubes and pass through a juicer. Pour the resulting juice into the multicooker bowl. Cook on the "Soup" mode for five minutes. After we pour it into jars, cool it and thus prepare a delicious drink for the winter.
Apple juice concentrate can also be used to make wonderful apple syrup.
apple juice for babies
So from what age should it be used for babies? This is a traditional product widely used as the first complementary foods for children under one year old.

And it is believed that up to six months the child should not receive anything other than mother's breast milk. It is officially allowed to introduce them to a baby from three months old, but experts recommend taking your time and starting introducing complementary foods from 6 months of age.
Children's apple juice can be found in stores in various variations, but it is best to make natural juice at home. Moreover, making it for a child does not take much time. After all, every mother wants the best for her baby. To do this, rub the apple on a coarse grater and simply squeeze it out with your hand or filter it through cheesecloth.
