Improve your rest with our quality honey
Ximo Martínez PrimoGetting a good night's sleep is essential for health and well-being, but many people struggle to achieve deep, restful sleep. Diet plays a key role in the quality of rest, and one natural remedy that has proven effective is quality honey. As a craftsman, in this article I explain why consuming natural honey before bed improves sleep quality.
What is the relationship between natural honey and sleep?
Sleep is a complex process involving different hormones and body functions. Quality honey can help improve your rest in several ways.
Consuming natural honey promotes the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. While we sleep, the body needs energy to maintain its balance. Quality honey provides nutrients that allow the liver to gradually release the glycogen it needs throughout the night. This way, the brain doesn't go into "alert mode" due to a lack of energy and can focus on producing melatonin, promoting deep, restful sleep.
In addition, natural honey contains tryptophan, an essential amino acid that the body converts into serotonin. This is transformed into melatonin, helping to relax the body and prepare the mind for a more pleasant rest.
Incorporate quality honey into your nighttime routine
Natural honey is a natural remedy for insomnia. Therefore, I always recommend incorporating natural honey into your diet at night. Here I share some ways to consume it before bed to reap its benefits.
A teaspoon of natural honey
Taking a teaspoon of natural honey about 30 minutes before going to bed can help regulate nighttime energy and promote melatonin production.
In a relaxing infusion
Mixing natural honey into a chamomile, linden, or valerian infusion enhances its relaxing effect and helps prepare the body for rest.
With hot milk
The combination of milk and honey has been a traditional remedy for centuries. Milk provides tryptophan, and honey aids its absorption, which helps induce deeper sleep.
In yogurt with nuts
Yogurt with natural honey and walnuts is an excellent choice before bed. Yogurt provides tryptophan and calcium, which help produce serotonin. Honey also promotes melatonin production and prevents nighttime awakenings, while walnuts provide natural melatonin and healthy fats. This combination promotes restful and peaceful sleep.
It's important to remember that not all honey is the same. Specifically, I recommend consuming raw, natural honey, as it retains all of its natural properties. At Miel Mayem, we make sure to deliver our natural honey directly from the hive to your table to guarantee our customers quality honey.
