HEALTH & BEAUTY
the quality and quantity of sleep
overall? Foods and drinks that
contain high levels of specific
antioxidants and nutrients such
as magnesium and melatonin are
known to enhance sleep.
Magnesium’s sleep-promoting
qualities are related to its ability
to reduce levels of the stress
hormone cortisol, which can
interrupt sleep. You can increase
your magnesium intake by
consuming more bananas,
legumes like beans, lentils and
pulses, and whole grains such as
wholemeal bread and brown rice.
Sleep can also be disrupted
by changes to the production
of the sleep-inducing hormone,
melatonin. So consuming
melatonin-rich foods - nuts and
seeds (almonds, walnuts, peanuts,
flax seed, sunflower seeds), grains
(rice, barley or rolled oats), and
various fruits and vegetables
(asparagus, cucumber, broccoli,
cherries, tomatoes and corn) –
before bed can help promote a
good night’s rest.
Lean proteins such as turkey
and chicken are rich in the amino
acid tryptophan, which the brain
converts into serotonin, relaxing
the body before sleep, whilst fatty
fish such as salmon, mackerel and
trout have exceptional amounts of
Vitamin D and healthy omega-3
fatty acids to help regulate
serotonin levels in preparation
for sleep.
Calcium is another important
nutrient for sleep as it helps
the brain use tryptophan to
manufacture melatonin. As well
as cow’s milk, spinach, kale
and cabbage are good sources
of calcium.
A healthy breakfast is also a key
part of any morning routine; a cup
of coffee to go simply won’t cut
it if you want to enjoy sustained
energy throughout the day. Aim to
enjoy a mix of whole grains, lean
protein, healthy fats, and slowrelease
carbohydrates. Energy and
mood-boosting options include
wholegrain toast with poached
eggs and avocado, Greek yoghurt
with mixed berries and seeds, or
a bowl of porridge topped with
sliced banana and nut butter.
