Happy Thanksgiving- Quick note about Insomnia
November 22nd 2006 00:12
Another thanksgiving is upon us. I want to wish you all, from my family to yours, a Happy Thanksgiving!
Here’s a great little tidbit about turkeys. Do you ever suffer from insomnia? Most people do at some point or another. The amino acid found in turkeys, called tryptophan, can work wonders on this condition. Yep, this is why, after your big Thanksgiving dinner, you feel sleepy…its because you’re stuffed with turkey and its tryptophan.
Although supplements containing this amino acid are still being studied, and are considered unsafe until further tested, we can always rely on this big fat bird to do the job.
According to askdrsears.com the following are also tryptophan rich foods if you get tired of turkey. (pardon the pun)
• Dairy products: cottage cheese, cheese, milk
• Soy products: soy milk, tofu, soybean nuts
• Seafood
• Meats
• Poultry
• Whole grains
• Beans
• Rice
• Hummus
• Lentils
• Hazelnuts, Peanuts
• Eggs
• Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds
