If you're eating the same foods all the
time, there's a chance your nighttime slumber might be suffering. A
study published in the journal Appetite found that regularly getting too little or too much sleep was associated with less variety in food choices.
Researchers analyzed answers to the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
determined that daily nutrient intake might be influencing sleep
quality. Subjects with the healthiest sleep patterns also consumed the
widest variety of food types.
Because of the important role sleep plays in recovery and rebuilding
from the breakdown of exercise, don't get stuck in an endless cycle of
oatmeal, skinless chicken breast, sweet potatoes and tuna. All those
foods are fine, but mixing in a colorful assortment of fresh garden
vegetables can add a range of micronutrients to your diet while
introducing some different tastes to that 'same old, same old' flavor
profile.
Switch it up and Start getting the Sleeps you deserve from working so hard!
