Modern medicine believes that the degree of drowsiness after meals is often related to the content of tryptophan in food protein. Tryptophan can induce brain cells to secrete serotonin -5- hydroxytryptamine, which can temporarily inhibit brain thinking activities and make people feel sleepy. The more brain nerve cells secrete this substance, the more difficult it is for people. The content of tryptophan in millet is the highest among all grains, and the content of tryptophan per 100 grams of food is as high as 202 mg, which is incomparable to other grains. In addition, millet is rich in digestible starch, which can make people feel full after eating, promote insulin secretion and further increase the content of tryptophan in the brain. ?

During the day, when people exercise muscles to stimulate nerve endings to release calcium, and blood brings it into the sleep center, when the sleep center stores a certain amount of calcium, people will feel sleepy. In other words, there must be enough lactic acid in the blood to drive calcium to the sleep center with the blood flow. Skim milk contains calcium and lactic acid, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, so it is difficult for the body to obtain these two effective components at the same time. Therefore, taking calcium tablets while taking skim milk can enhance its curative effect. The experiment also proves that the effect of general sleeping pills is gradually weakened, while the hypnotic effect of milk is gradually strengthened, especially sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, which is more ideal for treating insomnia in the elderly.

Oats rich in fiber can reduce "bad cholesterol" (low density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL) in the blood and help clean up arterial blood vessels. It is recommended to eat a bowl of steaming porridge in the morning. You can also choose to eat "a bowl of cereal+a banana", and you can eat 4 grams more fiber. Instant cereal contains less dietary fiber, so coarse grains are better. 2. salmon. It contains more omega-3 fatty acids, which can effectively lower blood pressure and prevent thrombosis. Eating salmon twice a week can reduce the risk of death from heart disease 1/3. "Carotenoids and astaxanthin in salmon are very effective antioxidants," said Stephen Sinatra, an American cardiologist and author of "Lowering Your Blood Pressure in 8 Weeks". It is recommended to choose wild salmon because farmed salmon may be rich in pesticides and heavy metals. You can also choose other fish that are beneficial to heart health, such as mackerel, tuna and sardines. 3. Avocados. When making sandwiches or spinach salad, you can add some avocados to increase the heart-healthy fat in your diet-monounsaturated fat. The fat contained in avocados helps to reduce "bad" cholesterol and increase "good" cholesterol in the body. Dr. Snatra said that eating avocados can also increase the intake of various carotenoids (especially β -carotene and lycopene), which are very important for heart health. 4. olive oil. It contains a lot of monounsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce bad cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. A study of cardiovascular diseases from seven countries shows that men in Crete, Greece have high cholesterol levels, but few people die of heart disease, mainly because their diet contains a lot of heart-healthy fat from olive oil. Experts suggest that extra virgin olive oil with the least processing procedures is the best choice. In the cooking process, it is best to use olive oil instead of other oils. 5. nuts. Its "heart protection" principle is the same as olive oil. Almonds, walnuts and macadamia nuts contain a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. Eating more nuts such as almonds can also provide a lot of dietary fiber. 6. berries. Berries such as blueberries, raspberries and strawberries contain anti-inflammatory substances, which are beneficial to cardiovascular health and help reduce the incidence of heart disease and cancer. 7. Lentils, chickpeas, black beans and green beans are rich in soluble fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. 8. spinach. Rich in lutein, folic acid, potassium and fiber, it helps to keep the heart healthy.

It was found that people who eat at least 2.5 servings of vegetables a day have a 25% lower risk of heart disease than those who don't eat vegetables. Every extra serving of vegetables reduces the risk of heart disease 17%. 9. Flaxseed. Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, a small amount of food can be beneficial to the heart for a long time. Sprinkle some crushed flaxseed with oatmeal or whole wheat breakfast. 10. Soybean. The content of saturated fatty acids is very low, which can reduce cholesterol. Soybean is also an important food source for people to ingest high-quality protein which is beneficial to heart health.
