Sleeping 8 hours is possible! 7 foods against insomnia

Only 15% of the population in Spain sleeps eight hours a dayand 25% of adults have difficulty sleeping. But a quality sleep is essential: it regenerates, favors general health and stimulates the proper functioning of the immune and hormonal systems.

For a good break you have to take care of your diet, guaranteeing the supply of neurotransmitter precursor nutrients. It also helps to practice physical activity during the day (avoiding a certain intensity in the afternoon), avoiding work that is too sedentary, stressful or demotivating, and reviewing habits associated with sleep.

During the day: Eat foods with high nutritional density, avoiding sugars and refined, stimulants and unhealthy fats. In the dinner: Have a light dinner a couple of hours before going to bed: easily digestible foods, such as vegetable creams and simple cooking. At night: Go to bed early and don’t look at screens for a long time before. Better meditate and relax.
