Study Links Fruit and Vegetable Intake to Improved Sleep Quality
Research from Finland reveals a correlation between higher consumption of produce and healthier sleep patterns.
- Finnish study analyzed data from over 5,000 adults on their dietary and sleep habits.
- Short sleepers consumed 37 grams fewer, and long sleepers 73 grams fewer fruits and vegetables than normal sleepers.
- Fruits like cherries and bananas, rich in melatonin, may aid in better sleep onset and quality.
- Dark leafy greens, high in magnesium, can support sleep and reduce insomnia risk.
- Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms linking diet and sleep duration.
