What foods can help you sleep well?

Nowadays, many people suffer from insomnia and nightmares, and always toss and turn at night and cannot fall asleep. Taking sleeping pills can bring serious side effects, so it is best to eat more sleep-promoting foods in daily life. So what kind of food generally has a sleeping effect? For this purpose, the editor has prepared the following article. Let us read and understand it together.

1. Banana. Bananas are actually "sleeping pills" wrapped in peel. In addition to stabilizing serotonin and melatonin, they also contain magnesium, which can relax muscles. In addition, eating bananas before going to bed will not cause weight gain because they are low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, which can promote bowel movements.

2. Chrysanthemum tea. The reason why chrysanthemum tea is the first choice for preparing tea before bed is mainly because of its gentle sleep-inducing effect. It is the best natural remedy for calming the mind.

3. Milk. It is well known that drinking a glass of warm milk before bed can help you sleep, because milk contains tryptophan, which can have a calming effect like an amino acid.

4. Honey. Add a little honey to your warm milk or herbal tea; the glucose will prompt your brain to stop producing orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter involved in staying awake. Moreover, a small amount of glucose can prompt the brain to secrete phenyldihydroquinazoline at the right time, so adding a few drops of honey to warm milk or vanilla tea can also help you sleep.

5. Potatoes. Potatoes can help you sleep by clearing out acids that interfere with sleep-inducing tryptophan. To achieve this effect, simply mash a baked potato and mix it with warm milk.

The foods mentioned above can promote sleep while supplementing essential nutrients. The editor here would like to recommend that people with poor sleep quality eat more, and also pay attention to avoid eating foods that stimulate the brain, such as coffee, alcohol, etc., otherwise they may suffer from insomnia.
