RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

If you have trouble sleeping, start adding these foods to your dinner/evening snack.

1) Unsalted/raw ALMONDS reduce muscle/nerve function while steadying your heart rhythm.

2) HONEY has glucose which tells your brain to shut off the chemical that triggers alertness.

3) CHERRIES increase melatonin which regulates the sleep cycle.

4) BANANAS have magnesium & potassium which are muscle/nerve relaxants.
