Time to spoil one of the most important people in our lives. Mothers day is on Sunday and we want to make a fuss of them and show how much they deserve their special day.
This is their turn to have a day of rest and therefore i have come up with a few tips to have a calming effect.
Dealing with insomnia
Mums have so much to think about and often this thinking process caries on into the evening when they need to get their well deserve beauty sleep. There are a few foods that can help with sleep such as:
Happy amino acids
Animal products or bananas before bed provides tyrosine and tryptophan, both are precursors to essential chemical balances within the brain. Tyrosine is related to the neurotransmitter GABA, the pleasure feeling neurotransmitter dopamine, and the stress response from noro-adrenaline. Therefore enhancing amino acid levels before bedtime can give a well balanced response. Tryptophan is another amino acid that has a slightly longer journey for encouraging a relaxed nights sleep. Tryptophan uses a few nutrients such as folic acid, vitamin C, biotin, B6 and zinc to convert to 5HTP and then to the happy hormone serotonin.
Tension Headaches
Tension headaches often appear as an uninvited problem for busy mum’s. Magnesium is an excellent support for healthy nerve and muscle function. Foods such as nuts, seeds and grains can provide a rich source of magnesium, which are worthwhile having to hand if a tension headache rears its ugly head. In addition to magnesium, keeping well hydrated is paramount to encouraging circulation and healthy chemical responses. You dont just have to choose water on its own, chamomile tea provides a delicious and relaxing addition to plain water.
