Sleep quality: The fruit to avoid at night

His routine sleep, the right diet and the right mattress, are basic conditions for a good sleep.

Adequate and good sleep is essential for the proper functioning of the body. If you don't get enough hours of sleep, you are putting your mental and physical health at risk.

People who have trouble sleeping at night face an increased risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

If you don't want to stay awake at night, avoid eating avocado before going to bed, experts advise.

According to British nutritionist Rob Hobson, avocados can disrupt sleep if consumed on a regular basis in the hours before bed.

The reason is that this particular fruit contains an amino acid that stimulates the brain.

"Sleep is a huge issue and what you choose to eat or drink is part of 'sleep health' along with other lifestyle factors that need to be addressed or properly managed," he emphasizes.

According to Hobson, Eggplants, avocados, walnuts and soy sauce contain an amino acid called tyramine, which can inhibit sleep because it causes the release of a hormone, norepinephrine, that stimulates the brain.

It is also important to avoid consuming sugar before bed.

Sweets and anything containing sugar, they reduce the activity of orexin cells, which activate the production of dopamine by the brain.

Low energy levels cause many people to sleep during the day, making it difficult to fall asleep at night.

To boost sleep quality, add more vitamin B6 foods to your diet, such as bananas, sweet potatoes, and tofu.
