Have trouble sleeping or not getting a restful sleep. Well, here come the experts with another piece of advice which involves fruit. Forget sleep aids and turn to pineapple.
Yes some experts believe eating pineapple before bed helps you get to sleep faster and helps you sleep deeper. the fruit increases the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, in the body. One expert said, "Eating pineapples or drinking fresh pineapple juice before bed has been shown to raise melatonin markers in the brain by up to 266%. Tryptophan (an amino acid present in pineapple) naturally boosts melatonin levels (a hormone that signals sleep to begin) and serotonin levels in the brain, causing a calming, sleepy, relaxed feeling."
If you have trouble with sleep, this may be worth a try, better than chemical sleeping pills.
