Food against insomnia

The time we live in is full of stressful situations,
endless working days, weeks, months and even years,
and so a peaceful dream is rare.
Therefore it is necessary to start a proper diet,
to welcome the new day properly rested.
Here are tips on what food is desirable and what is not
for people who suffer from insomnia.
These people should have to avoid chocolate,
coffee, snacks, hot, salty and canned food.
Recommended for easy sleep are:pasta, rice, bread,
barley, boiled eggs, meat, fish, cheese and various vegetables.
These types contain amino acids that stimulate
the secretion of serotonin (neuro-transmitter)
involved in the process of sleep and memory.
The lettuce, garlic and onions also have mesmerizing properties
which make it easier to sleep.
The food that facilitates sleep, includes a glass of warm milk,
which works wonderfully to relieve nervousness,
but it also reduces the acid in your stomach.
A cookie full of simple carbohydrates and
cup of tea sweetened with honey,
has a relaxing effect on the brain.
