Good quality sleep is essential for maintaining optimal health and well-being. Right from cellular communication, hormonal balance, healthy aging to building immunity, good sleep has several health benefits. In fact, our entire immune system is heavily dependent on good sleep.
Many effects of a lack of sleep, such as feeling grumpy and not working at your best, are well known. But did you know that sleep deprivation can also have profound consequences on our physical health? Today one in 5 suffers from poor sleep, with stress and poor lifestyle adding to their problem.
Regular poor sleep puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s and many
more. Before we understand natural solutions for resolving sleep issues, let us understand how people get sleep.
Simply put, we have a hormone called melatonin, which is also known as the sleeping hormone. When our body releases melatonin in the right quantity and at the right time, we get sleep. Hence for people who face sleep issues, their mind is unable to release melatonin either at the right time or in the adequate quantity or both.
Here are five simple and effective ways to help the body release melatonin naturally. Pistachio: This dry fruit is easily available everywhere. Pistachio is very high in melatonin, our sleeping hormone. A handful of pistachio twice a day can also help in getting good sleep. Try and have the unsalted one. Pumpkin seeds: Pumpkin seeds are one of the superfoods when it comes to overall health and immunity. Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc and another mineral known as tryptophan. When zinc and tryptophan are combined, the body makes serotonin which then is converted into melatonin.
So, 3-4 spoons of soaked pumpkin seed every day is also very helpful in getting good sleep.
