A good night's sleep lowers your risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes and also alleviates stress. Nutritionists suggest foods that can help you sleep better.
People who sleep better are the ones who are likely to fall sick less often than poor sleepers. A good night's sleep lowers your risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes and also alleviates stress. It helps you to think more clearly and make better decisions at home and work. While we may not consciously realise it, but what we eat also plays an important role in the quality of our shut-eye.
Poor eating habits like eating too late or having high-calorie meals at night could interfere with natural sleep mechanism and leave you restless and unable to sleep. On the other hand, there are certain foods that could relax and improve your sleep quality. In this article we discuss best foods for your sleep so that you can stay healthy, happy and stress-free every day.
