Nutritionist Dr. Carly Garcia revealed foods that help improve sleep quality.
According to the expert, diet affects the quality of sleep, and mineral water, yogurt, fruits and nuts can help improve it.
She points out that mineral water containing a high percentage of magnesium ensures deep and restful sleep because magnesium helps relieve stress and reduce the level of stress hormones. As for yogurt, it contains casein protein, which helps raise the level of amino acids in the blood, which helps with relaxation and helps in muscle recovery at night.
“ Nuts and seeds contain the amino acid tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin, which are responsible for quality sleep,” she says.
According to her, tryptophan is also found in some fruits. In addition, the potassium found in bananas , for example, helps relax muscles and reduces night cramps.
