Our health and well- being are significantly influenced by a good night`s sleep. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety.
Sleeping is essential as during it, the brain has enough time to process and energize the everyday activities and maintain your physical health. Therefore, sleeping improves our ability to concentrate, enhances the ability to clean the brain and rejuvenates the body.
On the other hand, poor sleep can be caused by several factors, but the most common causes include poor eating habits, anxiety, mineral deficiencies, and lifestyle. Sleep deficiency leads to low energy, depression, weakness, sickness and an increased risk of hypertension.
Newest research has pointed out some rather disturbing figures, showing that 50-70 million Americans suffer from sleeping disorders and poor sleep. That makes it clear why so many people are irritable and constantly tired.
Nevertheless, there is a natural way to help yourself in this case. Today, we will show you how to consume bananas and cinnamon in the form of tea as a bedtime snack in order to solve sleeping issues.
These two ingredients are highly beneficial for our health and body.
Bananas are a rich source of potassium and magnesium, which are minerals that improve the quality of the sleep. These minerals also help your muscles and veins unwind and destroy the negative impacts of an excess of cortisol (anxiety). Bananas also contain an amino acid, tryptophan, which helps to raise the serotonin levels that help regulate the sleep patterns.
The second ingredient of this recipe, cinnamon, contains amazing essential oils, like the eugenol, which is a phenylpropanoids class of chemical element that gives the sweet, pleasant aromatic fragrance, as well as vitamin A, pantothenic acid, niacin, and pyridoxine. This spice is also very useful for your health, as it alleviates and relaxes the body. Moreover, it helps digestion and blood circulation.
