When I first started seeing Dr. D’Antonio, he insisted that I needed more than 4 or 5 hours of sleep at night if I wanted to build bone. I asked, “What does sleep have to do with bone density?” Turns out…plenty! Inadequate sleep causes the body to stress, which causes a cortisol reaction, a/k/a the “fight or flight” reaction. When the body is continually stressed, it doesn’t worked on re-building. It works on surviving! And all the while, the adrenal glands are being pushed beyond their normal limits, until they get worn out and unable to function as they should.
The remedy? Eight hours of sleep every night! (Dr. D’Antonio said he would accept 7 in a pinch.) While you are sleeping, your body is busy healing itself. Your immune system and detoxification organs are focusing on cleansing your body of accumulated wastes and on repairing cellular damage. Adequate sleep increases productivity, decreases accidents and mistakes, and gives you an overall feeling of energy and well-being. Your relaxed, rested body is not a “lazy” body. Rather, a fully rested body is alert and ready for whatever challenges come its way–including the business of building bone!
2 tblsp. olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
6-8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
5 carrots, sliced into chunks
2 potatoes, peeled and sliced into small cubes
1 tsp. of dried thyme leaves
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3/4 cup stout, such as Guinness stout
1/2 pound fresh button mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup frozen peas
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir 5 minutes until tender. Remove onions and garlic to a small bowl. Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer in the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Add onion and garlic mixture, carrots, potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper to skillet. Pour stout over chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 35 minutes. Add mushrooms and peas to skillet. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Uncover skillet and increase heat to medium. Cook another 10 minutes until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Note: We aren’t supposed to have any alcohol on this diet, but I think the alcohol gets “cooked out” while the stew is stewing.
