There are times when I suffer from insomnia, especially when I work at night shift. I’ve been doing this for more than two years now but sometimes sleeping during the day can be very difficult for me. I have done some research on what I can do as well as others who are dealing with this sleeping disorder. In addition to that are some juicer recipes that are said to be able to help those who are enduring insomnia.
The common causes of insomnia are overwork, jet lag, stress, worry, drugs, alcohol, nicotine, stimulants, sleeping at inappropriate times, poor nutrition and toxicity of the blood. Long term insomnia, though can take a toll on a person’s health condition and the causes can be very severe, such as depression, anxiety, grief, medication diseases and menopause.
The first recipe that can help insomniacs is a combination of beets and celery. The complex carbohydrates and starch in beet root can help promote sleep. Celery can be a good tonic for insomniacs because it has a calming effect on the central nervous system. Another vegetable juice recipe is a fusion of bean sprouts, lettuce, and cauliflower. These veggies are good sources of Vitamin B and lettuce have a mild sedative effect because of their natural opiate that calms the nerves and muscles. Mix these with raw honey and drink before bedtime.
For a mixture of fruits, combine an apple with an orange or half a grapefruit. The natural sugars and carbohydrates will have a tranquilizing effect and can help those who are dealing with insomnia.
