CRACK OPEN a ‘sleep cure’ with this biblical seed trick
If a good night’s sleep has been ELUDING you…
Especially as you’ve grown “long in the tooth“…
I’ve got something new for you to try… starting TONIGHT.
It’s not a sleeping pill… or a bad-tasting drink.
In fact, it’s just the OPPOSITE!
It’s a delicious snack – one that you might’ve even enjoyed in the past.
But the latest research shows why you should BRING IT BACK into your diet… and make it part of your nightly routine!
Swallow THIS an hour before bed
When I heard this latest news in sleep health, I nearly jumped for joy.
Because it involves a nutrition-packed food that you can enjoy by the handful.
I’m talking about pistachios.
In Chinese culture, they’re considered a very good omen for health and wealth…
And according to the Old Testament, they’re one of our FIRST nuts… dating all the way back to the Garden of Eden!
Now, you may have been told that you should AVOID these nuts (which aren’t “true” nuts, but actually seeds) because they’re high in calories and fat.
And maybe you’ve even ELIMINATED them from your pantry so they won’t contribute to weight gain.
But here’s why this treat deserves a second chance.
Not only do pistachios contain polyphenols… fiber… and protein that could help you maintain a healthy weight…
But they ALSO hold the power to help you sleep better!
That’s because researchers at Louisiana State University discovered in 2019 that these little green “nuts” also contain a surprising amount of the “sleep hormone,” a.k.a. melatonin.
In fact, there’s SO much melatonin packed inside pistachios… EXPONENTIALLY more than other common foods…
You only need to eat about 10 or 15 of them before bed to reap their sleep-inducing benefits.
And you can enjoy them raw OR roasted… as heat doesn’t DRAIN them of their melatonin content.
There’s something else you’ll find in pistachios – something you WON’T find in a melatonin supplement.
It’s vitamin B6… which is a CRUCIAL ingredient for helping your body produce its own supply of melatonin!
Now, you’ve read right here in eAlert that you SHOULDN’T eat before bed… because of how elevated blood sugar levels can DISTURB your sleep by keeping your body temperature too high.
Well, turns out pistachios are an exception…
Because eating them not only WON’T spike your blood sugar… could actually help LOWER it!
Just don’t go overboard and eat TOO MANY pistachios… and TOO CLOSE to bedtime…
Because digesting them will DISTRACT your body from “shutting down” for the night like it’s supposed to.
But just a handful or two… about an hour before bed… should do the trick.
To a “sleep food” you’ll love,
Sarah Reagan
