Diet affects sleep disorders, that's the proof! | INews Portal

JAKARTA, iNews.id – Researchers at Northwestern University in the United States discovered that an accelerated inflammation by the diet disrupted the body clock. The impact, this has the potential to cause sleep disturbances.

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 affected body clocks, according to the Bustle report of Friday, November 2, 2018.

Their findings, inflammation (which can be caused by eating high-fat foods) can cause circadian rhythm disturbances, a type of sleep disorder resulting in disruption of sleep patterns and a lag between periods of sleep. usual sleep and sleep. 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 this interaction between inflammation and the hours is important not only to understand how inflammation affects the brain and the sleep-wake cycle, but also how immune cells or the fat work, "said Hee-Kyung Hong, research author professor of 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 meats.

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, there are foods that help your sleep to be comfortable, including foods rich in potbadium, such as bananas can help relax muscles. Although turkey, chicken, lentils, tofu, tuna, eggs and even cheese contain a high content of tryptophan and vitamin B6, they 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.
