Having trouble sleeping at night? Eat magnesium-rich foods! Magnesium is a natural sedative and can be found in legumes and seeds, dark leafy green vegetables (such as spinach), bananas, wheat bran, almonds, cashews, blackstrap molasses, brewer’s yeast, and whole grains.
Deficiency of magnesium can result in not only difficulty sleeping, but constipation, muscle tremors or cramps, depression/anxiety, irritability, and pain. It has also been use for people with restless leg syndrome, heart palpitations, and even helpful with menopause and PMS symptoms.
Not getting enough magnesium from your diet? Try supplementing with Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc 30-60 minutes before bed for a more restful sleep.
