Sleep is medicine... Foods that promote deep sleep vs foods that hinder it
Health? Sleep is the best medicine.
"Sleep is medicine" is one of the sayings my parents often told me since I was young.
Maybe because I used to run around when I was young, I fall into deep sleep mode at 9 o'clock...
I think it was morning when I opened my eyes, but as I get older, is it because we don't eat healthily?
It seems that deep sleep mode is really difficult.
Getting a good night's sleep is more beneficial for health than any excellent food.
However, as society changes day by day, adapting and living fiercely
Our bodies are always suffering from sleep deprivation.
Moreover, sleep disorders, which are already affected by stress and prevent proper sleep, are also increasing.
Foods that help promote deep sleep
Bananas and cherries: Bananas contain a component called 'tryptophan' that induces deep sleep, and cherries contain the sleep-inducing hormone 'melatonin.' Tryptophan, after being ingested by our bodies, serves as a raw material for producing the amino acid serotonin, which has the effect of reducing neural excitability and calming the brain.
Additionally, tryptophan is used to produce a hormone called melatonin, which is the sleep-inducing hormone naturally secreted by our bodies. Therefore, consuming foods containing tryptophan can increase the secretion of serotonin and melatonin, helping you fall asleep faster.
Foods containing complex carbohydrates such as rice and potatoes promote insulin secretion. Insulin reduces the effect of tyrosine, which competes with tryptophan in the blood, thereby enhancing the effects of tryptophan.
It facilitates the production of sleep-inducing substances such as serotonin and melatonin by ultimately promoting the brain transmission of tryptophan.
Warm milk, warm milk is also effective for restful sleep. The 'tryptophan' in milk helps synthesize serotonin, aiding in achieving deep sleep. In particular, drinking milk at night prevents calcium from leaching out of the bones while sleeping.
Onions & Kiwis Onions also help improve blood circulation and assist in relieving insomnia. Kiwis are rich in nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and inositol, which help stabilize nerves and promote restful sleep. Consuming two kiwis before bed significantly improves sleep quality.
There is a saying that eating lettuce makes you sleepy. The 'lactucarium' component contained in lettuce induces drowsiness and provides the best hypnotic effect. It naturally helps with deep sleep, right?
Foods that interfere with deep sleep
Eating a high-protein meal with red meat makes it hard to fall asleep. This is because proteins contain a lot of the amino acid tyrosine, which stimulates the brain. Foods rich in protein can cause stomach acid secretion for digestion, leading to heartburn and indigestion, which can interfere with sleep.
Caffeinated beverages such as coffee, black tea, and carbonated drinks contain a large amount of caffeine that causes alertness. Cigarettes also have a strong stimulating effect, so avoiding caffeinated drinks and cigarettes after the evening is a way to prevent worsening insomnia. Coffee, black tea, cola, and cigarettes have stimulating effects, which can worsen insomnia.
Tomatoes are healthy vegetables, but their high acidity can cause stomach discomfort. Additionally, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, which are rich in dietary fiber, can slow digestion and potentially cause insomnia, so it is advisable to avoid them.
Drinking alcohol such as beer and then trying to sleep is also not good for restful sleep. Although it may seem like you fall asleep quickly after drinking, in reality, you tend to wake up frequently and cannot enter deep sleep, ultimately reducing the total restful sleep time. Additionally, alcohol can relax the muscles responsible for breathing, which may worsen snoring or sleep apnea.
Foods high in simple sugars, such as chocolate and candy, do not help much in relaxing the brain. Simple sugars cause a large release of insulin at once, followed shortly by the release of stress hormones, which actually increase alertness and can lead to insomnia.
I should buy a bottle of milk on my way home from work.
Warm milk is said to prevent calcium loss overnight.
Fortunately, milk agrees well with my whole body, so I think it will be okay.
