Foods that improve sleep quality

Good sleep is essential for our health. It boosts your immune system, reduces your risk of chronic illness, and keeps your brain active. Many people find sleeping the recommended 7-9 hours each night difficult. There are many ways to improve sleep. One of the best is to change your diet. Some foods and beverages have sleep-promoting qualities. Here are the five best drinks and foods to have before going to bed for you to sleep better:

Foods that improve sleep quality:

Warm milk

Warm milk contains tryptophan. The body then converts it into serotonin (which regulates sleep) and melatonin (which helps to relax). Warm milk before bedtime can promote relaxation and improve the quality of sleep. Turmeric can be added to milk to enhance the health benefits and goodness of haldi. Replace the haldi in the cooler months with two strands of saffron to get the skin, hair, and hormonal benefits.

Almonds

Almonds contain magnesium which is good for relaxing muscles and reducing anxiety. A small handful of almonds eaten before bedtime may improve sleep quality.

Pumpkin seeds

Magnesium-rich pumpkin seeds can help you sleep.

Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate is rich in magnesium and antioxidants, which promote relaxation and reduce stress. A small piece of dark Chocolate before bedtime may improve your sleep.

Whole grain crackers and whole grain cereal

Use quinoa, which is high in magnesium. Soak it in milk to get the complex carbohydrates and tryptophan.

Listen to your body. Pay attention to the way certain foods or drinks can affect your sleep. Find out what works for you by experimenting. Creating a relaxing environment and maintaining a regular sleep schedule are also essential.
