Beauty Tip For Moms - Bed Time Snack
“Sleep
is Nature’s sweet restorer. Never forget that it is during sleep, that your
mind and nerves re-charge and rebuild themselves. Taking something light to eat
or drink at bedtime is the time-honored aid to good sleep. There are some
physiological reasons for this. One of them is that food in the stomach sets
the digestive processes in action, and the circulatory system automatically
sends more blood to the digestive organs and less to the muscles. Almost everyone
has had the experience of feeling sleepy after a meal. A great many foods that
are part of a wholesome diet contribute to the healthy relaxation of muscle and
nerve, but three are especially valuable. These are vitamin B-6, calcium and
vitamin D. Foods rich in these are my favorite tranquility foods. Vitamin B-6
appears to be a specific sedative for twitchy nerves. A lack of calcium may be
one of the hidden causes of insomnia so try a mug of plain hot milk as a potent
tranquilizer at bedtime.” This is the remedy my grandmother used to give us
grandkids and we loved it as a comfort bedtime drink with just a little bit of
Nestlé’s chocolate…yummm!

Haha I don't need a tranquilizer to fall asleep - with a one year old, it's hard to stay awake most of the time! Although chocolate milk sounds good whether you need it or not :)
Awesome!!! Now I don' feel bad about having that bedtime snack ~ Chasing Joy
