Agree with getting rid of all box food/supermarket foods .... but you realize not all dairy are related right? Supermarket dairy are junk because it is created for profit not for health, but dairy made from raw milk is very good for your health. Growing up in the north East of Italy every family had a cheese plate after the meal. They had farmer cheese of course. The elderly lived way beyond 90-100...... and they used to wake up at 5 am and you would see them clean the outside the house daily.

Taking ashwagandha along with sedative medications might cause too much sleepiness. Some of these sedative medications include clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), alprazolam (Xanax), flurazepam (Dalmane), midazolam (Versed), and others

[@akasbll1872]

what about Coffee?

[@thejdocrealminute4648]

Coffee's biggest pull is that caffeine helps you stay awake and alert. However, every time you consume coffee, your adrenal glands produce cortisol, the main stress hormone. With consistent caffeine intake, you could be forcing your adrenal glands to overproduce the hormone, causing adrenal fatigue.

A whole foods plant based diet can regulate all of our systems. Animal meat dairy and eggs is not necessary in our diets as we can get all the nutrients our bodies need from natural foods so that they can function properly as they should. Omega 3 FAs can be found in nuts and seeds. I am healthier now at nearly sixty six after nearly nine years on a mainly plant based diet and limited amounts of processed foods as occasional treats. Regular exercise and quality sleep are also important for quality of life.
