Foods that help you sleep are many where heavy meals, such as food, prevent you from falling asleep. But you might not know that some foods and drinks put you in a good mood to people.
Especially foods that contain tryptophan (an amino acid that turns into chemicals that make the brain relax like serotonin and melatonin), whole grain hydrates (which boost serotonin production), certain minerals (such as soothing calcium and magnesium), and some herbs (which have a relaxing effect) all put you in a sleepy state.
If you want a deep night's sleep, have a small meal an hour before bedtime. Good choices include :
Half a banana and several almonds
The combination of tryptophan, hydrate, and soothing magnesium helps you fall asleep. You don't like bananas? You have some cherries, it is also a natural source of melatonin.
Whole grain nuts with peanut butter
Another magic combination (tryptophan + complex hydrate ) takes you to a deep sleep
A cup of warm milk
My grandmother was right - eat warm milk before bedtime helps sleep better, thanks to tryptophan, calcium, and magnesium. Provided it's a small cup, not a big one, or you'll stay in the bathroom all night.
A small bowl of whole grains with milk
Tryptophan, calcium, and magnesium, with soothing grain hydrates and magnesium, make you sleep deeply. The choice is low-sugar cereal, so you don't get high blood sugar that wakes you up. Or warm milk with oatmeal, because the latter is a rich source of Bailey's enhanced growth.
A cup of herbal tea
Chamomile, passionflower, valerian tea with its calming effect. For an extra dose of relaxation, add a small spoonful of honey that contains tryptophan(unlike ginseng tea, it may have a stimulating effect).
