Dietary habits make sleep difficult

SURABAYA, FaktualNews.co – Researchers at Northwestern University in the United States have discovered that accelerated inflammation by the diet disrupts the functioning of the body clock, potentially leading to sleep disorders. The researchers determined that inflammation and body hours were influenced by the same genetic factors, called NF-kappa beta (NFKB).

By triggering a series of chain reactions in the body, NFKB causes pain and tissue damage badociated with inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, for example.

According to researchers, the NFKB also affects body clocks, according to a noisy report released Sunday (4/11/2018). Their conclusion? Inflammation (which can be caused by the consumption of a high-fat diet) can cause circadian rhythm disturbances, a type of sleep disorder that involves disruptions in sleep patterns that are not not synchronized with the usual hours of sleep / wake.

Researchers have also suggested that disturbed circadian rhythms could combine diet and disease, in cases of diseases such as diabetes, some cancers and heart disease often badociated with inflammatory diets.

"We do not know the reason, but the interaction between inflammation and the hours is essential not only to understand the effects of inflammation on the brain and the sleep-wake cycle, but also for understand the functioning of immune cells or fats, "said Hee-Kyung Hong, writer and reader. endocrinology at Northwestern University.

So, what is considered a food that causes inflammation? According to Harvard Health, foods that can cause inflammation include processed carbohydrates (such as white bread), sweet foods, cooking ingredients such as margarine and lard, and red and processed meat.

Anti-inflammatory foods include oily fish, peanuts, tomatoes, olive oil and green leafy vegetables. Blueberries, apples, strawberries and many other fruits can also fight inflammation. According to Gurdian, some foods promote sleep comfort. For example, foods rich in potbadium, such as bananas, can help relax muscles.

While turkey, chicken, lentils, tofu, tuna, eggs and of course, even cheese contains a high content of tryptophan and vitamin B6, it can increase the production of melatonin, a sleep hormone. Consuming fiber from seeds, nuts, berries, lentils and other sources can also produce better quality sleep.
