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 weights.
0:38.3	So I have a question. What is better for sleep? Exercise or physical work, like yard work, cleaning, you know, building something, fixing something, remodeling something, or just your job where you're using your physical body.
0:42.2	I'm not talking about sitting behind a desk, of course, but actual physical work.
0:43.5	What is better for sleep?
0:44.0	What do you think?
0:50.7	Personally, I think physical work is probably 10 times better for your sleep and reducing stress than actual an exercise that you would do at the gym or even at home.
0:56.4	So let's first take a look at the similarities. Both increase oxygen, increase muscle activity,
1:03.0	can increase your endurance, can decrease stress. But with exercise, it's very predictive,
1:10.4	it's very structured, it's repetitive. It's a really
1:13.4	focused intentional motion activity where you're normally working symmetrical muscles. So you might
1:20.3	start off with the left side and do the right side or both at the same time. But for physical work,
1:25.9	it's not really predicted or structured. It's very
1:28.7	asymmetrical, which is in some ways actually very, very good. Plus, your mental focus is a lot
1:35.9	different. You're not concentrated just on your body. You are focused on something else. And so for
1:41.8	mental health and for mental reduction of stress, physical work is way better than
1:49.4	exercise. Because you're getting more of your attention out of your head onto other things,
1:53.9	not just necessarily doing a bicep curl or a bench press. Now, I think both is important,
2:00.0	but if you want to sleep better, I would highly
2:03.5	recommend doing more physical work. And you can actually simulate physical work with exercise,
2:09.7	but when you're doing physical work, you are using usually your whole body. And you can actually
2:14.8	get very, very sore, even though it might not think you're doing
2:18.2	much. If you have problem sleeping, I challenge you to do at least one to two hours of
