Sleepless Nights? Expert’s Simple Home Remedy Can Help
Nutritionist Lovneet Batra has recently come up with a simple home remedy which is guaranteed to work wonders for us getting ample sleep.
A good night's sleep is an elusive dream; pun intended. Many of us struggle with bad sleep cycles, making it difficult to get adequate rest. This widespread issue affects millions, causing fatigue, lower productivity and a weaker immune system. So, how do we fix that problem? Clinical Nutritionist Lovneet Batra has recently come up with a simple home remedy which is guaranteed to work wonders for us getting ample sleep. In a recent video posted to her Instagram, Ms. Batra says, “If you have trouble falling asleep at night, or you wish to sleep for longer, try this very simple home remedy.”
She recommends, “Take 100ml of water, soak 3-4 black raisins, with 3-4 kesar saffron strands and let it be soaked for about 4-6 hours. Now 1 hour before your bedtime, have the combination together. And you'll see that slowly it will help you improve the quality and duration of your sleep. This is due to an increase in melatonin and serotonin by saffron and black raisins.”
The nutritionist, in her caption, also lists the many benefits of black raisin and saffron.
She says that black raisins are a sleep-promoting food, rich in antioxidants like resveratrol and polyphenols. These compounds help regulate your sleep-wake cycle and boost melatonin production.
Saffron, aka the golden spice, contains compounds like safranal that have a huge impact on sleep quality, as per Ms Batra. Saffron increases your serotonin levels, promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety and helps you drift off into a peaceful sleep.
