I often have trouble sleeping, and am trying to improve my sleep through healthy eating.
I’ve found that eating turkey in isloation can actually help you sleep! The way it works is: Turkey contains tryptophan, which helps to make serotonin.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, that sends messages between nerve cells and causes you to feel sleepy.
However, L-tryptophan doesn't act on the brain unless you eat it on an empty stomach with no other protein present, so remember to keep some turkey in the refrigerator for those sleepless nights.
