The Eliminate Insomnia Diet
If you are reading this at four in the morning, you aren't alone - approximately half of all adults experience insomnia at some point in their lives. However, if you follow the Eliminate Insomnia Diet, your sheep-counting days may come to an end.
The carbohydrates in food help our bodies produce serotonin - a sleep-inducing hormone. This meal plan incorporates plenty of healthy carbohydrate-rich foods like fruit, pasta, potatoes, oatmeal and brown rice. Milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that promotes sleep. This diet includes skimmed milk with meals and as a before-bed snack. Digesting a big dinner can prevent you from resting comfortably. With that in mind, this meal plan promotes eating more for breakfast and lunch and less in the evening.
