Tip #36 for a Happier, Healthier Life

Consuming foods containing Triptophan can calm you down and help you sleep.

Ever wonder why you feel like a nap after your Thanksgiving Turkey dinner? Chances are, it's the triptophan, an essential amino acid which may release the chemical seretonin in your brain. It also can help alleviate pain.

Other foods high in triptophan are apples, bananas, chocolate and milk.

OK, so now you're ready for some good rest after your next holiday feast!
