Many people believe that eating before bed is bad for your health, especially for women who are conscious of their figures, who feel that eating before bed is not easily digested and will affect their figure. In fact, some foods eaten before bed can help you relax before sleep and improve sleep quality.
1. Banana
A banana is essentially a "sleeping pill" wrapped in a peel. Besides being rich in serotonin and melatonin, it is also rich in magnesium, which can relax muscles.
2. Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is the top choice for a bedtime drink mainly because of its mild sedative effect, making it the best natural remedy for calming the mind and spirit.
3. Warm Milk
The saying that drinking a warm glass of milk before bed helps you sleep is well-known because milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that has a calming effect. Calcium helps the brain make full use of this tryptophan. Serving the warm milk in a bottle can give you a warm feeling of returning to your childhood, gently telling you to "relax, everything is fine."
4. Honey
A large amount of sugar has an excitatory effect, but a small amount of glucose can signal the brain to secrete orexin, a newly discovered neurotransmitter related to cognitive responses. Therefore, adding a few drops of honey to warm milk or vanilla tea is also helpful for relaxation before sleep.
