Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What you eat can hurt your sleep. What to eat insteadYou know that regular exercise helps you sleep better. You might also know
that you should avoid alcohol, caffeinated drinks, sugary, or spicy food before
going to bed. Then what kinds of food promote your sleep? What regulates your
sleep and wake cycles is a hormone called Melatonin, which is produced by an
amino acid, tryptophan. Foods that are rich in this amino acid are basically low
in saturated fats and healthy, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fiber,
beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. Also, in order to establish a regular sleep
cycle, you want to eat these foods not just once a day but regularly. It seems that
no one particular thing can promote a good night’s sleep, but regular exercise
and a healthy diet do.
Read the article and learn how to sleep better.
