3 Foods for Better Sleep

Tart Cherry Juice - Studies have shown that drinking two glasses of tart cherry juice per day may raise sleep quality and quantity. (sleep enhancers: antioxidants, melatonin.)
Kiwi - Researchers in Taiwan found that people who ate two kiwifruit one hour before bedtime fell asleep faster and stayed asleep longer. (sleep enhancers: antioxidants, serotonin.)
Fish - Tuna, salmon and halibut have high doses of omega-3 fatty acids and B-complex vitamins which help produce tryptophan and melatonin in the brain. Try to have at least two 4-ounce servings per week. (sleep enhancers: omega-3s, B vitamins.)
