Sleep problems can occur when there is a lack of magnesium, potassium or vitamin D in the diet, and as a result, increased fatigue and stress can appear.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are having difficulty falling asleep, then you are most likely lacking magnesium in your diet. Insomnia is one of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium plays an important role in the body and sleep regulation. Good sources of magnesium are dark green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, legumes, grains, seafood, and fish.
Step 2
Those who sleep poorly at night need to add more potassium to their diet. Potassium contributes to muscle function, so potassium deficiency can cause muscle cramps and restless legs syndrome. The best sources of potassium are legumes, green leafy vegetables, dried fruits, bran, nuts, jacket potatoes, and avocados.
Step 3
If you are feeling tired during the day, then you need to consume more vitamin D. Of course, the sun is the best source of vitamin D, but not all of us can get enough of it for various reasons. Therefore, add to your diet such foods as vegetable and butter, dairy products, seafood and fish, seeds and nuts, potatoes, mushrooms.
