5 Foods for better SLEEP!!

3/6/2015

0 Comments

 
DAIRY - Some studies are showing that being calcium-deficient may make it difficult to fall asleep.  Reach for products like low fat yogurt, milk and cheese to get a dose of melatonin-boosting calcium.
HUMMUS - Chickpeas, the main ingredient in hummus, are not only rich in tryptophan, an amino acid linked to sleep quality, but they contain folate, which can help regulate sleep patterns.
FISH - Cod, salmon, halibut, tuna, trout and snapper are all good sources of vitamin B6, a nutrient needed for your body to make melatonin, a hormone that helps control sleep and wake cycles.
HERBAL TEA - Herbal teas are caffeine-free and contain some sleep-inducing properties.  Brew some chamomile tea, and herb used to treat insomnia for thousands of years, or peppermint tea, which has been shown to reduce stress & promote sleep.
BANANAS - You know they are a good source of potassium, but they are also rich in magnesium.  Both minerals can relax overstressed muscles and help you get some shut-eye.
