An apple a day … could be good for our sleep!
Snacking on an apple in the evening could be the ideal way to ensure you get a night of quality rest. According to Manchester University, apples contain tryptophan which prompts the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
Apples are also rich in vitamins C and B6 which are known to help us sleep.
An empty stomach can often interfere with a good night’s sleep, so an apple could be the ideal pre-bedtime snack. It’s light enough not to sit heavily on the stomach, and the fibre in apples ensures the slow release of energy and avoids any sugar spikes just as you’re trying to wind down.
Try an apple in the evening as part of your bedtime routine.
