Improve Your Sleep by Avoiding Inflammatory Foods.

A new study from the University of South Carolina found that those who ate more inflammatory foods slept worse than those who ate less of them. High levels of inflammatory markers inhibit the natural rhythm of the sleep-wake cycle. To improve sleep via diet, start by adding just a couple of anti-inflammatory foods to your diet regularly, such as green, leafy veggies, fatty fish, brightly colored fruits, nuts, and hot, colorful peppers. Even smaller changes can make a difference, like adding spices, herbs, onions, and/or garlic to the dishes you had already planned to make. Eliminating even one or two inflammatory foods from your diet will put your body on a path toward healing, and you can expect to be paid in benefits both short- and long-term.
