The well-known saying was more or less like this and had an apple and a doctor as its protagonists. But according to studies, a banana can be a valid substitute.
Can’t sleep and don’t know how to solve your difficulties with insomnia in a natural way? Discover how one banana after dinner can help you rest peacefully!
Sleep as you eat
Sleep experts recommend eating foods rich in magnesium, potassium, vitamin B, and tryptophan. All these natural elements help lower cortisol levels, the well-known stress hormone, promoting muscle relaxation and favoring sleep.
Goodnight fruit
The sweet taste of bananas, their various uses in cooking and their extraordinary qualities, make them one of the most eaten fruits in the world.
Bananas bring to our body a large number of nutrients that encourage good rest. They are an essential source of calcium, proteins, potassium, fibers, magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and biotin.
Eating a banana before going to bed enhances the need for all those nutrients that promote good rest. In fact, mineral insufficiency is one of the causes of insomnia.
Sleep apnea? Bye Bye!
According to research carried out at the University of the New England, the regular consumption of bananas represents a valid remedy also against sleep apnea. How? It appears that phospholipids, of which bananas are rich, help dilate and tone the throat.
Not only allies of deep sleep
Bananas have many further benefits: for example, they increase physical resistance and are regularly consumed by athletes and sports people before and after training for strengthening muscles and regulating blood pressure.
But if you believe that bananas are rich in calorie, from now you will be able to eat them without feeling in guilty: in fact, one banana contains only about 100 calories, and once it has been digested, it is immediately transformed into “fuel” for our body!
