Sleeping Foods: Top 3 Vegetables for Sweet Dreams

CLEARWATER, Fla. - July 26, 2024 - PRLog -- This news article could also have the title: "If you want to sleep like a baby, start by eating like a bunny!"  There are some very special vegetables that are great foods to sleep better.

If you're not a vegetable lover, start by just picking one of these and putting some delicious dressing or sauce on it.

Here are three of the best vegetables for a good night's sleep and having more energy in your days.

1. Leafy Greens

The motto of this section is "Don't leaf your sleep to chance – eat your greens!"  Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and other lettuces are excellent sources of magnesium, a mineral that can help promote relaxation and better sleep. A magnesium deficiency is usually seen as agitated sleep with frequent nighttime awakenings.  Leafy greens also contain calcium, a mineral that helps the brain to produce melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.

1. Sweet Potatoes

This section is titled: "Sweet dreams are made of sweet potatoes and their prized potassium." Sweet potatoes are good foods to sleep more deeply as they are rich in complex carbohydrates.  Unlike simple carbs like white flour and sugar products, sweet potatoes can help promote sleep by increasing levels of the amino acid tryptophan in the bloodstream. They are also a good source of potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure and reduce wakings in the night.  A deficiency of potassium can interfere with restful sleep due to the potential for stiff muscles or muscle spasms in bed.

1. Broccoli

The motto here is: "Say goodnight to insomnia with the help of broccoli's dream blend of vitamin C and calcium!"  Broccoli is a great source of vitamin C, which can help reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and promote relaxation. One cup of fresh or cooked broccoli also contains 60 milligrams of calcium.
