Banana is actually a "sleeping pill" wrapped in the peel, which is rich in compound amine and N- acetyl -5- methoxytryptamine, as well as magnesium which can relax muscles.
● Chrysanthemum tea
Chrysanthemum tea has become the first choice for preparing tea drinks before going to bed, mainly because of its soft sleeping effect, which is the best natural prescription for calming the mind.
● Warm milk
It has long been known that drinking a cup of warm milk before going to bed is helpful to sleep, because milk contains tryptophan, which can play a calming role like amino acids. And calcium can help the brain make full use of this tryptophan. Putting mild milk in a bottle will bring you a warm feeling of returning to your childhood and gently tell you "relax, everything is fine".
● Honey
A large amount of sugar has an exciting effect, but a small amount of glucose can prompt the brain to secrete orexin (phenyldihydroquinazoline), a newly discovered neurotransmitter related to thinking response. So dropping a few drops of honey into warm milk or vanilla tea is also helpful to relax before going to bed.
● Potatoes
A small baked potato won't damage your gastrointestinal tract. On the contrary, it can remove acid compounds that prevent tryptophan from playing a hypnotic role. If you mix warm milk to make mashed potatoes, the effect will be even better!
● oatmeal
Oat is a valuable bedtime snack, which is rich in N- acetyl -5- methoxytryptamine. Boil a small bowl of cereal and add a little honey to mix it.
● Almonds
Almonds contain both tryptophan and magnesium, a good medicine for relaxing muscles. So eating a small amount of nuts that are good for heart health is another coup of hypnosis!
● Flaxseed
Flaxseed can be called "natural food to cheer up mood" and is rich in Omega-3 and fatty acids. When your life is blocked and depressed, try to sprinkle two tablespoons of flaxseed on your sleeping oatmeal, which may produce unexpected results.
● Whole wheat bread
A piece of toast, with tea and honey, can help the human body release an insulin, which enables tryptophan to reach the human brain and be converted into serotonin there. It's like someone whispering in their ear, "It's time for bed."
● Turkey
Every Thanksgiving, people can take a fragrant nap, thanks to turkey, which is considered to be the best source of tryptophan.
