ARE THERE ANY FOODS THAT CAN HELP ME SLEEP BETTER?
Poor sleep can massively affect training, leaving you without the energy or motivation to train. Fortunately there are lots of foods that can help to improve the quality of slumber time. Wholegrains like wholemeal bread and brown rice encourage the reduction of insulin, which helps transport the calminducing amino acid tryptophan to the brain, while bananas contain both tryptophan and the mineral magnesium, which helps to relax the nervous system. You can also add leafy greens like spinach and kale to your shopping list as they contain impressive levels of magnesium too. And, finally, dairy products like milk also help to boost levels of tryptophan, which can help to lull you into a relaxing sleep.
