| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:12.0 | Let's talk about sleep apnea. Did you realize that 98% of people with sleep apnea have low |
| 0:28.9 | vitamin D according to a study that I just read, which I'll put a link down below. So sleep apnea |
| 0:34.6 | or obstructive sleep apnea, which is known as OSA, is majorly linked with a low vitamin D situation. |
| 0:43.4 | So we're going to discuss this, okay? |
| 0:45.0 | So vitamin D significantly reduces inflammation. |
| 0:49.4 | And I'm talking about the tissues in the back of the throat as well as in the back of the sinuses. Many time those |
| 0:56.7 | tissues are inflamed, and that can be the reason why you can't breathe that night. Also, |
| 1:02.3 | vitamin D supports an overactive immune system. And many times when you have an overactive immune |
| 1:07.5 | system, you have certain parts of your body, certain tissues that are inflamed, |
| 1:12.7 | the sinuses, the back of their throat, and even the lungs, and that can obstruct your breathing. |
| 1:18.6 | And then vitamin D also has a direct effect on your sleep cycles. It helps you get into a deep |
| 1:25.1 | restful rejuvenating sleep. It helps support the delta wave of your sleep, which is the deeper levels of sleep. |
| 1:32.2 | And without sleep, you just don't get enough of hair. |
| 1:34.7 | Now, I just want to differentiate between the type of vitamin D. |
| 1:37.5 | In this video, I'm talking about vitamin D3, not vitamin D2. |
| 1:41.7 | There's been some reports that vitamin D2 can actually create insomnia. So you always want to make sure you take vitamin D2. There's been some reports that vitamin D2 can actually create insomnia. So you always |
| 1:46.4 | want to make sure you take vitamin D3. So a deficiency in vitamin D affects both sleep apnea |
| 1:53.2 | and your sleep quality in general. Without vitamin D, you're more likely to get low back pain, |
| 1:58.4 | which is going to keep you up at night. I mean, try to sleep with low back pain. It's very difficult. Also, snoring is linked to a vitamin D deficiency. I mean, |
| 2:06.8 | snoring can actually wake you up by itself. And if your spouse is deficient of vitamin D and |
| 2:11.6 | they're snowing, that can keep you up. And then I also mentioned less delta wave sleep. |
