Foods that improve sleep:
Bananas are a valuable source of magnesium and potassium, which are the precursors of serotonin. However, the lack of magnesium, also known as the hormone of happiness, also causes a general weakening of the body as well as muscle cramps and muscle soreness. Their consumption facilitates muscle relaxation and provides comfortable sleep. Bananos are also a good source of tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin, but also a key ingredient in the proper functioning of the muscles. Lack of these minerals also causes the body's general weakness and muscle cramping and muscle pain. Their use facilitates the relaxation of muscles and provides a comfortable sleeping environment.
Foods not recommended before bedtime:
Caffeine is known to be the most powerful stimulant in the world. It works stimulatingly for about 6 hours after drinking it, so morning coffee is not recommended for waking up, but it can affect sleep quality at night. It happens because caffeine interferes with the release of melatonin, the hormone responsible for restful sleep. It causes difficulty falling asleep, reduces the duration of the deep phase and shortens its time. It is therefore not recommended to avoid drinking coffee at noon.
