Fruit that should be eaten before sleep: everyone thought otherwise

Some products not only don't interfere with sleep but also promote faster falling asleep and relaxation of the body.

It is believed that dinner should be finished several hours before sleep so that food has time to digest. However, researchers from the Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) claim that bananas can have a positive effect on falling asleep. This is due to the content of tryptophan - an amino acid that promotes the production of serotonin and melatonin, which are necessary for quality sleep, reports The Express.

In addition, bananas are rich in magnesium and potassium - minerals that help relieve muscle tension. Because of this, they can be eaten both plain and added to smoothies.

However, bananas are not the only product that helps you fall asleep. Almonds can also be an excellent choice: they contain magnesium, which promotes relaxation and improves sleep quality.

Nevertheless, it's important not to overdo it with fruits - excessive consumption can lead to unwanted consequences, including weight gain.
