1, a drink to improve sleep
First of all, honey tea
Honey is a tonic often seen in life. Because of its warm and sweet taste and high nutritional value, it has always been favored by people. Honey tea made of a spoonful of honey mixed with boiling water is not only sweet in taste, but also has excellent health care effect, and is a very delicious drink.
Honey is rich in magnesium. The main function of magnesium is to calm the central nervous system of the brain, which is often said to calm people. In addition, drinking a cup of honey tea before going to bed can also eliminate people's nervousness and relieve stress, which is a great boon for some patients who have poor sleep due to stress.
Another great advantage of honey tea is that it can help to lose weight, because the fatty acids contained in honey can promote intestinal peristalsis, and the rich vitamins and minerals can regulate the stomach, expel toxins from the body and improve constipation.
Many people worry that honey is sweet and will be bad for their health. In fact, honey contains natural glucose and fructose, which will not burden the stomach, but will help to maintain beauty and enhance the body's absorption of nutrients. So nutritionists strongly recommend that we eat honey.
Second, vinegar.
In the kitchen, we often see the figure of vinegar, because vinegar has the function of seasoning and sterilization, and it is an indispensable condiment in our diet. Many people should add vinegar whether cooking or eating.
But do you know that vinegar is not only a condiment, but also has high medicinal value, and drinking vinegar can help people fall asleep when they have insomnia.
If people are in a state of tension for a long time, the body will produce a lot of lactic acid, which will lead to tension and fatigue, making people very uncomfortable and difficult to fall asleep easily.
Acetic acid in vinegar can effectively inhibit the production of lactic acid in the body, and at the same time accelerate the oxidation of lactic acid, thus eliminating or alleviating the stress fatigue of the body. Without this kind of fatigue, the human body can easily fall asleep.
The amino acids rich in vinegar can also promote the metabolism of human body fat, so that the excess fat in the body can be converted into physical energy for consumption, and can also promote the metabolism of sugar and protein, and enhance the metabolism of human body fat, thus playing a good role in slimming.
So don't think vinegar tastes bad. It is believed that drinking vinegar can improve sleep and help to lose weight. Do you still care about the taste of vinegar?
Third, yogurt.
In fact, when it comes to the best sleep aid, milk must be among the best, because milk contains two substances that can make people feel tired and sleepy. One is tryptophan, which can promote brain nerve cells to secrete the neurotransmitter serotonin that makes people sleepy; The other is peptides that regulate physiological functions, which make people feel comfortable all over, help relieve physical fatigue and make people fall asleep quickly, so drinking a glass of milk before going to bed every night can help them fall asleep quickly.
However, milk has a big disadvantage. Milk is high in fat and protein. Usually a cup of 200 ml milk has 108 calories, and people need to walk for 74 minutes to consume these calories. Therefore, drinking milk will make people fat.
Fermented yogurt has the same effect as milk, but the calories are much less than milk. Moreover, yogurt is rich in beneficial bacteria factors, which can promote intestinal factors to become active, thus improving intestinal peristalsis, improving constipation and helping detoxification.
Therefore, drinking a cup of yogurt before going to bed can not only fall asleep quickly, but also reduce weight. This is a very good drink.
Fourth, red wine.
Although red wine is alcohol, it is different from white wine and beer. The main ingredient of red wine is grapes, which is very good for the body. Moreover, red wine tastes outstanding and will not be as difficult to swallow as beer and white wine, so it is very good to drink red wine before going to bed.
Drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed can help you sleep, because melatonin contained in grapes can help you sleep. Melatonin is a substance secreted by the pineal gland in the brain, which is closely related to sleep. The secretion of melatonin can help people fall asleep quickly.
In addition, red wine can also help regulate the sleep cycle and improve sleep abnormalities. In addition, red wine also contains a lot of antioxidant components, so drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed has the effect of retaining youth.
Not only that, the calorie of red wine is actually very low, and it can also accelerate the burning of whole body fat and promote intestinal peristalsis, so drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed has a good weight loss effect.
However, in the final analysis, red wine still belongs to wine. Once you drink too much, the alcohol contained will do harm to your health. Therefore, medical experts say that drinking red wine before going to bed must not exceed 50 ml.
Conclusion: It can be said that being unable to sleep at night is very uncomfortable. Lying in bed tossing and turning is an experience that many people have had. Bian Xiao recommended honey tea, vinegar, yogurt and red wine. These drinks can not only help you fall asleep quickly and improve the quality of sleep, but also have a good weight loss effect, so we might as well drink these four drinks before going to bed.
