Who has embarked on a path of personal growth knows that it is important to take care of your body with proper nutrition and natural and a good physical activity. This is the key to be always at its best, full of energy and without all the little everyday ailments that usually meet, such as digestive problems, headaches or disturbances of our thoughts and our minds. Yes, also. Because if we do not eat well, not only our physical health to suffer, but also our mind. Are testimony to the effects of nutrition and physical activity on our sleep. Sleeping well is important, because from a good sleep depend on the functioning of the nervous system and brain. But if we are faced with problems of insomnia, rather than resorting immediately to external or chemical remedies, we do an investigation and risolviamoli the root, look for the cause in our daily routines and in our diet. Why pills, sleeping pills, and even herbs and other natural remedies interfere in the long run the natural ability to fall asleep. In fact, all these substances leave trains during sleep, preventing it to be natural, quality (the deep and dreamless sleep during which they secrete many substances and hormones). That said, if we feel tired and staggered throughout the day, the solution is not to sleep more, but move more. A good exercise, in fact, in addition to providing energy and health to our body, is also an excellent remedy for insomnia. Remember, though, to pass at least a couple of hours between vigorous exercise and sleep. A good solution may be to do exercises in the morning, barely awake. Also do not forget to avoid the three substances harmful to excellence smoke (especially before sleep), alcohol and caffeine. Drinking alcohol, even if apparently by drowsiness, actually disturbs sleep quality, which will have very short cycles and will be followed by a terrible awakening. Then in the evening without consuming animal protein, too salty or spicy foods and orange juice, why not just make us sweat at night, but they also create a fitful sleep and restless. We may encounter the same problems if we go to bed hungry or too full. Finally, avoid before going to sleep, those activities that agitate our minds, how to use the computer, watch violent movies, have lively discussions and take a shower. A ritual is perfect for sleeping soundly instead an evening walk briskly for half an hour after dinner. Or a good reading, breathing exercises, a hot cup of tea and relaxing music. Also expose us to the sun (but not during the hottest hours) is beneficial, especially after a long journey so the time difference, because it helps regulate the sleep-wake and find the right balance. I wish you all the best,
