These Foods May Affect Your Sleep Qualtiy
According to John Hopkins Medicine these foods can affect the quality of your sleep: Here’s what they say:
- Alcohol – Research shows that healthy people who drink alcohol do fall asleep more quickly and sleep more deeply … at first. However, when alcohol wears off, it can wake people during very important and restorative stages of sleep.
- Spicy foods – Eating spicy foods can cause heartburn, which can impact your sleep.
- High-Fat and High-Protein Foods – High-protein foods like steak and chicken can also disrupt sleep because they take a long time to break down, which is a problem at bedtime since your digestion slows by up to 50 percent when you sleep. Also avoid aged or processed cheeses, salami and pepperoni: They contain tyramine, which triggers the release of norepinephrine, which may stimulate the brain.
