What should you eat if you have long-term poor sleep?

Nowadays, the pace of life is accelerating. Many people work long hours during the day and are under great pressure. They return home exhausted at night. After taking a shower, they cannot help playing with their mobile phones until late at night and end up suffering from insomnia. The next day, their work and study are affected by lack of energy, which eventually leads to a vicious cycle of insomnia. So is there anything we can eat to treat insomnia? The editor recommends several dietary therapy methods to everyone.

1. Tea with Chinese date kernel

Before 8 o'clock every morning, take 15g of green tea, brew it with boiling water twice, and drink it. Do not drink tea after 8 o'clock. At the same time, fry the Chinese jujube kernels and grind them into powder. Take 10g of it with boiling water before going to bed every night. Take it continuously for 3 to 5 days and you will see results. Tea can refresh the mind. The bioactive substance caffeine it contains can excite the higher nerve centers, make people energetic, active in thinking, and eliminate fatigue. Therefore, it can adjust the daytime lethargy and drowsiness of insomniacs. Ziziphus jujuba seeds have the effects of nourishing the heart and calming the mind, inhibiting the central nervous system, and have a good effect on promoting insomniacs to enter the sleep inhibition process at night. Alternating relaxation and tension, excitement and depression, the effect is remarkable. People with insomnia may want to give it a try.

2. Salvia miltiorrhiza rock sugar water

Add 30g of Salvia miltiorrhiza to 300ml of water, simmer for 20 minutes over low heat, remove the residue, add appropriate amount of rock sugar and cook for a while, take in two doses. Salvia miltiorrhiza is bitter and slightly cold, and it can promote blood circulation and calm the mind. It has a calming effect on people with long-term insomnia. It can also improve the original diseases of patients with coronary heart disease, chronic hepatitis and other diseases.

3. Lily syrup soup

Add 100g lily to 500ml water, simmer until cooked, then add appropriate amount of sugar and take in 2 doses. Lily is sweet, bitter and slightly cold, and can clear the mind and soothe the nerves, and treat restlessness, insomnia and dreaminess. This soup can be used for insomnia caused by residual heat after illness and physical weakness. It is especially suitable for insomnia patients with a history of tuberculosis.

The above three dietary therapy methods can adjust the body's condition. Although the effects are not immediate, there will be obvious changes after long-term dietary therapy. In addition, do not take too many medications for insomnia. Although they may work quickly to a certain extent, it is easy to become dependent on the medications and may also lead to drug resistance, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
