Why you should eat apples before going to bed

Eating anything shortly before going to bed can lead to difficulties falling asleep and may disturb your sleep throughout the night. While this is true of most foods, rich, heavy, spicy and fatty foods may be more detrimental to your sleep than others. Containing a number of sleep-promoting vitamins and minerals, polyphenol antioxidants and almost no fat, apples might be just what you need to fix your late-night hunger pangs

Vitamins and Minerals

Apples are a good source of vitamin C and can supply you with vitamin B6 and potassium, both of which may promote proper sleep. Vitamin C can help decrease blood pressure, improve your breathing and lower your blood sugar, helping you to relax and breathe properly as you sleep. Potassium serves as an electrolyte by conducting electrical signals through your body, helping to maintain a regular heart beat and conducting nerve transmissions that promote relaxation and sleep. Vitamin B6 can reduce stress and help you sleep by promoting the release of the mood-elevating neurotransmitter serotonin. In addition, it is essential to breaking down fats and using energy, potentially helping you to burn fat as you sleep.
