A small bite before bed can back up your immune system while you sleep.
This video walks through five simple night-time foods, what each one does overnight, and exactly how much to eat, from a teaspoon of honey to three walnuts.
1. Sweet potato: fiber for your gut and vitamin C that holds up to cooking
2. Lemon: citric acid in warm water to help you wake up clearer
3. Honey: helps tryptophan reach your brain for melatonin, and soothes your throat
4. Walnuts: omega-3 fats plus natural melatonin for faster sleepiness
5. Yogurt: good bacteria for your gut, topped with honey to feed them, and may mean fewer colds
Try one tonight and see how you wake up.
