3 foods suitable for women to eat before going to bed

　　1. Representative food: millet porridge
　　
Tryptophan food--reduces excitement
　　
Tryptophan is metabolized in the human body to produce 5-hydroxytryptamine, which can inhibit the central nerve Excitement, resulting in a certain sense of sleepiness. At the same time, 5-hydroxytryptamine can be further converted into melatonin in the human body. Melatonin has been proven to have definite sedative and sleep-inducing effects.

Millet is the richest in tryptophan among all cereals. It would be a good idea to add some millet to your dinner staples, which will help increase the amount of tryptophan entering the brain. In addition, the tryptophan content in vegetables such as pumpkin seeds, yuba, tofu skin, dried shrimps, seaweed, and black sesame is also very high.

In addition, tryptophan will smoothly enter the brain through the dietary combination of carbohydrates and proteins (that is, the order of eating carbohydrates first and then protein), giving you a peaceful sleep. Therefore, you might as well eat some carbohydrate food before going to bed, such as whole wheat toast with honey or fruit. "This method is effective for most people. It has a sleeping effect like sleeping pills, but does not have the side effects of sleeping pill dependence, and will not make people addicted." ”Dr. Judith Wortman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology thinks.
