If even this night you have set the clock for hours with the feeling that time no longer passes, there is something wrong. Insomnia is in fact a bad life companion that wraps us in strenuous, boring and endless nights that alternate with tired, confused and heavy days. Defeating her is the dream of everyone who suffers and one of the best ways to do it could be start changing your eating habits. Especially at dinner.
Here then what favors insomnia (and we will have to reserve for lunch) and what to eat to say goodbye
The foods to avoid
Let's start with drinks that have a direct effect on our sleep. The coffee it is perhaps the most popular among the enemies of sleep, so much so that we often hire it to fight it, but it is not alone. If we want to sleep well we should also avoid drinking the you and the alcoholic and superalcoholic beverages. Prohibited drinks are also banned ginseng, the chocolate hot and very sugary drinks like cola, gazzosa and similar.
And now, let's move to the plate. To promote insomnia we find very aged and fermented cheeses, savory foods like cold cuts, foods preserved in salt, smoked salmon, olives and canned meat. Among the enemies of sleep we also find all the foods fried, very fat preparations and desserts containing creams.
The allies
To sleep well, we must make sure we take sufficient quantities of tryptophan (capable of stimulating the production of serotonin that regulates the sleep / wake cycle), magnesium (responsible for muscle relaxation) e melatonin (useful for fighting insomnia). But how much, how does it translate to the table?
Among the foods that help us to overcome insomnia we find: whole grains, pasta, oats, chicory, turnip greens, lettuce, spinach, cod and salmon, bananas and apricots.
To be sure to favor digestion at dinner instead it is good to prefer meals based on fresh cheese, chicken, turkey, fish and dried fruit.
A few more tricks
In the previous paragraph, we mentioned the subject of digestion, which is anything but marginal when it comes to insomnia. If our body is engaged in a long and arduous process, we can say goodbye to peaceful sleep and restful nights. On the contrary: a digestive process that is too demanding can cause insomnia, discontinuous and disturbed sleep.
One of the simplest and most effective techniques to prevent this problem is to anticipate the dinner schedule so as to be sure to go to bed with complete digestion.
An hour before going to sleep, you can instead pamper yourself with a relaxing herbal tea or the classic cup of unsweetened chamomile.
