Foods to Help You Sleep 🍒
✨ Foods that help you sleep ✨
I don’t recommend eating right before bed. It can disrupt digestion, slow your metabolism, and contribute to weight gain.
But if you find yourself feeling hungry early in the evening and want a snack that will support better sleep, here are some backed by science:
🥜Foods high in magnesium (to calm the nervous system):
Oats
Almonds
Cashews
Chia Seeds
🥣 Foods containing tryptophan (to make serotonin):
Pistachios
Sesame Seeds
Pumpkin Seeds
Cottage Cheese
🍒 Foods that support melatonin production:
Kiwis
Oranges
Bananas
Pineapples
Tart Cherry Juice
