Eating bánh mì in the evening can help you sleep better and fall asleep more easily, provided you eat just enough. Overeating can lead to discomfort and make it harder to sleep.
When consuming bánh mì, the pancreas releases trypsin. This enzyme interacts with the amino acids in the bread, and the resulting compounds have a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting better sleep.
Additionally, there are traditional methods to enhance sleep through diet, primarily using readily available and inexpensive homegrown ingredients, such as:
- Before bedtime, mix a teaspoon of vinegar into a glass of cool water, stir well, and drink. This can help you fall asleep more easily and enjoy a deeper sleep.
- Place peeled mandarins or sliced apples next to your pillow to release a pleasant aroma that can stimulate drowsiness.
- Eating millet porridge before bed can induce sleepiness and lead to a restful night (just ensure you eat a moderate amount).
