Nutrition: Is Your Sleep Being Ruined By Poor Food Choices?

There are many elements to your life that contribute to better health. Along with stress relief, lifestyle habits, and exercise, you can count sleep and nutrition among them.

Sleep and nutrition actually work in conjunction to help your body's natural repair process at a cellular level. And together, they provide the energy you need to enjoy a better quality of life during you waking hours.

Sometimes, the foods you eat can help or hurt the amount of sleep that you get.

You have to make the right choices so that you're fully rested when you wake in the morning.

If you're not getting enough sleep, the first thing you want to do is ensure you have proper sleep hygiene.

Is your bed comfortable in terms of the mattress, pillows, sheets and blankets?

Is your room cool enough and have you turned off any and all electronic gadgets that might interrupt your slumber?

If your routine is intact, then you might want to analyze nutrition as something causing the problem.

Start with portions. Some people eat so much at dinnertime that it makes it hard for them to get (or stay) asleep.

A stuffed stomach makes you feel miserable, so learn to listen to your hunger cues and stop eating when you're no longer hungry - not when you're full.

Eating too much (or the wrong thing) can also result in acid reflux, which occurs in the might when you lie down and the food rises into your throat. This can be an irritating and painful experience.

Have you ever heard of drinking warm milk before bed? To many, this sounds unappetizing, because we're used to ice cold milk.

But it does have its sleep-inducing benefits - similar to how turkey has that effect on you.

But it might not be because of the tryptophan. It could be a warm, comfortable habit that does the trick.

Walnuts are the perfect snack before bed because they carry natural levels of melatonin.

So do cherries, so a fresh bowl of these can help you drift off to sleep faster.

Another nut that works in your favor is the almond. It helps your body get more sleep because it's rich in magnesium.
