If you switch to this diet, you don’t have to worry about the amount of simple carbohydrates.

The diet involves eating a lot of vegetables, fish and seafood, a minimum of red meat, and eliminating sweets, processed foods and fried foods.

The diet has a positive effect on sleep due to minerals, vitamins and other components that have a positive effect on the nervous system.

These are potassium and calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc and chromium.

The diet also has a positive effect on metabolism and lipid metabolism.

In addition, you can solve sleep problems by giving up caffeine 5 hours before going to bed, leading an active lifestyle, eliminating fatty and spicy foods, eating more protein and fiber, and preparing a light dinner.
