If it is difficult for you to sleep at night and you tend to wake up not having slept well, we suggest that you try to include healthy dinners with foods with relaxing properties before resorting to natural remedies or medications.
In this article, we will suggest some simple, delicious and healthy dinners that will help you fight insomnia in a healthy and natural way.
Healthy dinners to sleep better
Salad soup
Lettuce, which is a common food in every healthy diet, has important relaxing effects on your body. But many people do not want to eat it in the evening, because if they do not chew it well, it tends to cause digestive problems. For that reason, and to take advantage of it for dinner, we suggest a slightly unusual recipe: Salad soup.
Make it the same way you do with any green leafy vegetable, such as algae or spinach. You can combine it with a little potato or oatmeal to give it a more creamy texture.
Interestingly, you can also make tea with salad and drink it a little before going to bed.

Soup with oatmeal and pumpkin
In the recipe above, we suggested including oatmeal in the soup. This grain is not only very nutritious, but it also helps you regulate the nervous system. It contains a substance called avenin, which has sedative properties. Oatmeal is also rich in B vitamins, magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids.
We suggest combining it with pumpkin in this simple recipe, a vegetable that will help you keep your blood sugar level for several hours, which will contribute to continuous rest.
You can make a wok with a little oil and add pieces of pumpkin and other vegetables. Boil it with oats for 15 minutes.
Healthy dinners: Baked apple with cinnamon and walnuts
An apple a day is good for the stomach, as it is said. If you can not do it during the day, in the evening is a good time to eat this fruit. Alternatively, it is not suggested to eat other fruits, because they make it difficult to sleep due to their acidity or sweetness.
Apples are a neutral and beneficial fruit for the liver, which is why we can include them in any meal during the day.
We recommend this traditional recipe for serving apples for dinner:
- Peel an apple (or leave it peeled if it is organic) and dip it in cinnamon, a spice that is relaxing and good for digestion.
- You can also add a little cane sugar (plant) or honey on top.
- Fry the apple for 20 minutes.
- When ready, serve the apple with walnuts or some yogurt.

Spring salad and goat cheese
Spring salad is becoming more and more popular, and is an alternative and supplement to regular salad. It is a very cleansing and relaxing vegetable, with a slightly spicy taste, which will make your salad a little different.
You can accompany this salad with fresh goat cheese. Dairy products facilitate drowsiness, and goat cheese is easier to digest than cheese from cows.
You can also include pumpkin seeds in this salad because they are rich in zinc, a mineral that helps reduce stress.

Wild asparagus and turkey
Here is a delicious, quick and easy recipe that will help you sleep better thanks to the tryptophan content of the two ingredients. This amino acid fights stress and brings you to a state of well-being and good mood.
You can grill the asparagus and wrap it in turkey, a light ingredient rich in protein.
Baked banana and cottage cheese
This dinner is also very relaxing, but we recommend it only for those who eat dinner early or for those who have exercised. This is because it is a little more nutritious than the above dinners.
Banana contains melatonin, tryptophan, and magnesium, three essential nutrients for good rest. Cottage cheese is rich in calcium, protein and tryptophan.
Fry the banana for 20 minutes and add cottage cheese. You can make this dish sweeter by using a little honey.
