Dietary change is one of the first steps to sleep better. Although dieting can be a fast approach for individuals who are also to lose some extra pounds, whole healthy eating is the most direct way toward complete healthy living all day.
“When it comes to sleep aids, food should be your number one go-to,” says Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, a nutrition expert and author of Smoothies & Juices: Prevention Healing Kitchen. She emphasizes staying away from ingredients like “chocolate, caffeinated tea, or flavored yogurt made with added sugar that is stimulating and can keep you awake.”
Popping up in cities and even small towns across the country, smoothie and shake shops are becoming a meal replacement option for those looking for a healthier alternative. Although these are common options for breakfast, bedtime smoothies can ease the stomach and satisfy any cravings.
