Is Your Diet Affecting Your Sleep?
Including a list of foods for better rest!
The American Heart Association recently published some results from various studies that evaluate the relationship between our diet and sleep quality.
I was shocked to read that not only does our diet impact our sleep, but our sleep (or lack thereof) also impacts our food cravings!
For example, sleeping for 5.5 hours or less each night can increase our cravings for unhealthy foods.
In terms of how food might impact our sleep, the authors encouraged readers to select a mix of foods that have a lower glycemic index, which means foods which have a less dramatic impact on our blood sugar levels in the short-run.
Examples of lower glycemic index foods:
Selected fruits such as apples or oranges
Most vegetables
Grains such as barley and quinoa
Beans, and
Many nuts
Some example of higher glycemic index foods they mentioned to potentially limit include white bread, many breakfast cereals, doughnuts, among other items.
Poor gut health might also be impacting your food cravings and quality of sleep.
For readers interested in other ways to improve your gut health and increase your consumption of probiotic-rich, fermented foods, consider making your own Yogurt at Home!
I started making my own yogurt over one year ago, and have been stunned by the quality of what I can make at home—And it’s so simple to make!
