You love to order this comforting, broth-based soup in Japanese restaurants, but keeping a few 8-ounce packs of instant miso soup at home may be key when you’re having trouble falling asleep, says Stella Metsovas, CN, a nutritionist in Laguna Beach, California. Here’s why: Miso contains amino acids that may boost the production of melatonin, a natural hormone that can help induce the yawns. Bonus: Research shows that warm liquids like soup and tea may also relieve cold symptoms, helping you sleep better when you're feeling under the weather. Photo: Shutterstock
日本豆面汤
在日式餐馆里,你爱点这道温润体贴的高汤炖制的汤,但是,在当你碰到睡眠问题时,家里备有一些8盎司装的速食豆面汤可以起到重要作用,加利福利亚乐古乐沙滩地区的一个营养学家斯特纳.马齿苏娃说。原因在这里:日本豆面酱里含促进褪黑激素产生的氨基酸,该褪黑激素是一种可以引起哈欠的天然的荷尔蒙。另外的好处:研究表明,诸如汤和茶之类的热液体还可以帮助你缓解伤风感冒症状,当你感觉身体不适时,可以更好地帮助睡眠。
