Are you suffering from insomnia? Discover 3 fruits that help you sleep soundly and deeply

If you are suffering from insomnia, you may no longer need sleeping pills or warm milk recipes, as the natural solution may lie in the fruits you find in the supermarket.

American nutritionist Kendall McIntosh, a member of the Global Wellness Council, confirmed that some fruits contain natural hormones and minerals that help regulate the body's biological clock and repair cells during the night, enhancing deep sleep.

McIntosh explained in her talk to "Fox News" that food not only provides us with calories but also interacts with our biological systems, affecting mood, sleep, and metabolism, especially with the changing seasons and shorter daylight hours, where the body needs natural support to produce melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep.

Sour cherries are considered one of the most important fruits that enhance sleep, as they contain natural melatonin, the hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain to regulate the sleep-wake cycle.

They also contain tryptophan, the amino acid that the body uses to produce serotonin and melatonin, which helps calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality.

Studies, including one published in 2024 in the National Library of Medicine involving professional athletes, have shown that consuming kiwi regularly before sleep for four weeks significantly improves sleep quality, duration, and daytime performance.

This is thanks to its richness in antioxidants, magnesium, and serotonin, which help calm the nervous system.

Grapes are an ideal choice as a snack before bedtime, as they also contain natural melatonin and help relax without increasing calorie intake.

It is recommended to eat fresh, unprocessed grapes instead of juices or raisins to maintain their full nutritional value.

However, good sleep does not only depend on food, as McIntosh emphasizes that evening habits play a significant role in sleep quality.

Therefore, she advises reducing exposure to blue light from screens before bedtime, keeping the room dark and at a moderate temperature, and avoiding heavy meals and stimulants like caffeine in the last hours of the day.

She concluded by saying: "When we combine a natural diet with a healthy evening routine, we lay the foundation for deeper sleep, better mood, and lasting vitality."

When we rely on nature's gifts of fruits that weave us the calm of the night, and improve our daily habits; we open the door to deep sleep that refreshes the soul and renews energy.

Sleep is not just rest, but a journey to restore balance and beauty in our lives, starting with simple steps from the kitchen to the bedroom.
