Change your diet to sleep better

Change your diet to sleep betterDo you have difficulty to sleep at night? You are not alone. When you cannot sleep constantly you may suffer what expert call as Insomnia and this can be very annoying. There are hundred ways to get a better quality sleep. Just begin by changing your diet before bed.

* Select your snack before bedtime. The combination of carbohydrates that contain tryptophan, such as a bowl of cereal with non fat milk, will make us sleep better. Carbohydrates will help to release chemicals in the blood that cause sleep disorder, and will convey signals to the brain that your body is ready to rest.

* Eat cherry. At night, try to eat some cherry. The experts found that the cherry jam has the same function with melatonin, a hormone released by the body that will keep sleep patterns.

* Seafood at night. Dinner with seafood, like fish, can help you sleep at night. Cod, tuna, snapper, halibut, and shrimp, contain tryptophan which is very good to help you sleep soundly. It has the same effect as you eat turkeys.

* Avoid consumption of chili. Spicy food is not suggested as your near bed time meal, eating spicy foods before bed can increase body temperature and prevent you from sleeping, and also increase the heart rate.

* Do not eat food that content lots of seasoning (MSG). MSG can cause headaches and insomnia for most people. Check the labels used on packaging on canned if you eat them at night.

* Choose tea instead of coffee. Caffeine is known as a substance that helps us to stay awake and coffee is one good example. So replace this drink with a cup of tea. Tea contains only half the caffeine of coffee. Tea also helps us to release stress. If you cannot stand with black tea, try to replace it with green tea.

* Smell of lemon and mint. Add the smell of mint and lemon in your drink or food. Mint and lemon have a substance that could relieve breathing and this helps you to rest at night.
