Sleep deficiency is a common issue affecting both men and women. Although it may seem harmless at first, chronic sleep deprivation may lead to hypertension, lack of energy, depression, fatigue, and nausea. What most people aren’t aware of is that good health and wellbeing depend largely on quality sleep.
What happens during sleep is the brain processes and filters information gathered during the day, while your entire body goes into slow mode and regenerates.
Insomnia can be the result of many factors including some mineral deficiencies, poor diet, stress, and last, but not least, lifestyle.
Sleeping disorders and poor sleep affect more than 50-70 million Americans, according to a recent study.
If you belong to this group of people, don’t despair! There’s an efficient home remedy that can significantly improve your sleep quality and it only uses two common ingredients – banana and cinnamon.
BANANA
This exotic fruit is rich in potassium and magnesium, both of which can positively affect your sleep quality. Whatthese minerals do is reduce or eliminate the negative effects of high cortisol levels in your body, thus helping your blood vessels and muscles to relax.
CINAMMON
