Today we're looking at a simple snack that supports much more than sleep.
๐ฅ Almonds, natural, not salted, not flavoured.
Why almonds?
Almonds are naturally rich in magnesium, a mineral involved in hundreds of processes throughout the body.
Magnesium helps support muscle relaxation and a calm nervous system. It's also involved in producing calming neurotransmitters that help prepare your body for rest.
Almonds also provide healthy fats, protein and fibre, which can help keep blood sugar more stable during the night. Stable blood sugar may reduce the chances of overnight stress hormone spikes that can wake some people.
Best time to enjoy small handful - with your evening snack.
Even better. Try pairing almonds with a banana or a little Greek yoghurt for a balanced combination of protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates.
