5 ways to eat your way to a better night’s sleep
4. Don’t eat too late
To give yourself the best chance of a good night’s sleep, aim to eat your main meal earlier in the evening. Did you know that eating pushes up your body’s core temperature, which can disrupt your sleep.
My top tip: Eat your evening meal at least four hours before hitting the hay.
5. Choose the right fats
Fat and sleep have a complicated relationship. But did you know that the right amount of certain fatty foods can actually help you sleep?
Nutrients like magnesium and zinc – found in abundance in fatty nuts like walnuts and cashews – have been shown to combat insomnia.
My top tip: Ditch the saturated stuff found in pizza and ice cream for sleep-friendly, nutrient-rich fats – like salmon at dinnertime or peanut butter before bed.
