THESE 7 FOODS WILL FINALLY HELP


YOU SLEEP BETTER
by Julia Denner | 05.11.2016 |  3 minutes

Do you have trouble falling asleep? Or do you wake up often during the night? You are not alone: More than 60% of adults in the USA
also suffer from sleeping problems. Tossing back and forth in bed is not only frustrating, but sleep loss can also lead to increased
stress and thereby to health problems. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet and regular exercise are very important for a healthy lifestyle.
Are you training for a marathon? You are guaranteed to perform better with a good night’s sleep.

Before turning to pills to help you sleep, you should give the following seven foods a chance. When eaten in the evening, they can help
you fall asleep easier and ensure a night of deep, restful slumber.

1. BANANAS
You can’t sleep? Then eat a banana. Its high potassium content can also help with calf cramps during the night. Plus, the fruit is
packed with magnesium which is important for muscle relaxation and thus deeper sleep. Try drinking a glass of homemade banana
milk before bedtime. The milk contains casein, a slow-release protein, which is also known as the “night-time protein” because it
provides your body with protein for hours and prevents muscle loss while you sleep.
