  1. Promotes optimum brain function—Enhances emotional balance, clarity of thought, focus of attention, sound judgement, etc. * Replenishes energy sources (ATP) * Repairs and restores brain cells * Enables the brain's natural detoxification process
  2. Strengthens memory—Increases our ability to remember, recall, and learn. The information and experiences we acquire throughout the day are consolidated during sleep. Over time, adequate sleep may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's Disease and other cognitive impairments.
  3. Improves cardiovascular health—Lowers risk of hypertension and calcification of coronary arteries.
  4. Boosts the immune system and the body’s natural ability to ward off infection and disease.
  5. Reduces risk of obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and metabolic diseases.
