Recently, scientific research has increasingly shed light on the significant impact of daily food choices on cognitive function, mood, and overall physical and mental health.
Researchers have found specific dietary patterns as well as specific foods that influence the sleep-wake cycle, time spent in hibernation, and sleep structure (the different stages of sleep), notes nutrition expert Gabe Zarumskit.
According to the “Daily Mail” newspaper, the following foods may help raise the quality of sleep:
Cheese
Cheese and other dairy products contain tryptophan, an amino acid that helps us fall asleep more easily, and calcium, which helps reduce stress.
Cherry
Many studies have shown significant improvements in sleep quality and duration when eating cherries, where the concentration of melatonin is high, Zarumskit says.
Low sugar cereal
Cereals also help us sleep, such as corn, but we must pay attention to its type, as there are many options that contain sugar in the market, so try to avoid them.
the banana
Bananas are an excellent source of magnesium, potassium, and tryptophan. In other words, they are a great choice when it comes to supporting sleep.
Almonds
Almonds are a good source of calcium and magnesium, which promote sleep quality and muscle relaxation, says Zarumskit.
Foods rich in Omega 3
Although research is limited, some evidence suggests that foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as leafy green vegetables, nuts and soybeans, may help improve sleep for longer, according to a nutrition expert.
