Sleep trouble? Try adding one or more of these foods to your diet.

Melanie Drake·May 31, 2022
Sleep trouble? Try adding one or more of these foods to your diet.

Getting a good night's sleep is crucial for so many aspects of your health. And if you are not able to sleep well, a simple solution could lie in what you choose to eat. According to dietician Karen Ansel, the following nine foods have sleep-assisting capabilities when consumed. Check out the full article for new ideas and recipes to prepare these foods.

  • Kiwi: Contain vitamins C & E, serotonin, and folate that help you catch some Z's.
  • Tart Cherry: The juice of this fruit contains the sleep-inducing hormone called melatonin.
  • Fish: Most fish contains B-6 vitamin needed to make melatonin - a sleep-inducing hormone that gets triggered by darkness.
  • Banana: Potassium is another great source of vitamin B-6. 
  • Yogurt: A calcium-deficiency has been shown to enhance insomnia, so keep a good balance of calcium in your diet.
  • Kale: Another source of calcium is in dark green, leafy vegetables such as kale.
  • Soy-Based Foods: Rich in isoflavones, compounds that increase serotonin production in the brain that directly affects your sleep-wake cycle.
  • Fiber-Rich Foods: Fiber is associated with the restorative slow-wave sleep and can slow blood-sugar surges that can negatively affect sleep.
  • Whole Grains: The magnesium in whole grains helps you sleep longer.
