QUALITY SLEEP

Serotonin & Melatonin are hormones beneficial for sleep. Serotonin is a chemical messenger believed to act as a mood stabilizer. It’s said to help produce healthy sleeping patterns as well as boost your mood.

FOODS TO IMPROVE SLEEP

Eating foods rich in tryptophan help induce the production of serotonin(made in your gut) which is required to make melatonin. Some perfect foods are: nuts, seeds, beans, eggs, fish, chicken & turkey. Although not recommended to consume these before bed, trying to incorporate these foods at your evening meal is helpful.
