The pace of life of urbanites is very busy, and they often suffer from insufficient sleep time and insomnia due to high pressure and long working hours. Some people are accustomed to eating late at night, but if they eat some food that hinders falling asleep several hours before going to bed, it will aggravate insomnia. Nutritionist Zhang Zhanpeng pointed out that eating more foods containing tryptophan can shorten the time to fall asleep. Take fruits and vegetables as an example. Tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, cherries, bananas, etc. all contain tryptophan, and bananas are the fruit with the highest tryptophan content.
A study shows that people who lack tryptophan will have sleep disturbance or insomnia, so people with insomnia can supplement tryptophan. Since tryptophan is not synthesized by the human body, they must be obtained from food, so the human body must take a balanced intake of foods containing tryptophan.
