How to get a restful sleep😌
How to get a restful sleep
To get a restful sleep we need to follow a ritual of eating the right food and creating a right atmosphere to fall sleep. It is achievable, and is easy to follow a healthy routine to get sleep and stay sleep without using any over the counter help.
What we eat, how we unwind, and where we sleep effects how fast we fall sleep and stay sleep.
Two hours before you tuck yourself under the covers snack on food that will help your brain to produce hormones that will relax your thoughts and calm your nervous system. A healthy balance of hormones are the key to a good night’s sleep. Serotonin and melatonin need to work in harmony to keep the body balanced.
How Serotonin and melatonin work in our body:
Serotonin is the energizing happy hormone that increases positivity and relaxation. It helps us get out of bed and look forward to our day.
Melatonin is produced after the dark. When the environment around us is turned to night time. Making it extremely important to start our sleep ritual by turning the lights low and keeping our bedroom windows covered with curtains, blocking any light from entering the room.
😴 Enjoy snacking on food that can help: (2hours before bed )
Bananas
Peanut butter on wheat
Cottage cheese
Oatmeal
Almonds
Dark chocolate
Warm milk
😴 Create a relaxing surroundings:
Using natural essentials oil:
Rose, vanilla, sandalwood, Jasmine scents can relax our thoughts, helping us feel sleepy.
Reading & Avoiding electronics :
Enjoying a good book can relax our mind.
Blocking natural light:
Helps the increase of melatonin levels, telling our body it is night time, time to relax.
To keep our body and mind healthy we need to sleep. Our body needs at least 7-8 hours of sleep for a healthy strong immune system and a bright mind.

Smoothies for a snack 😋😌👍
Who doesn’t like to snack? When taking a refuge at home from the summer heat, it is easy to wonder around the kitchen looking for snacks. I am fan of snacking, and I can spend hours creating cheese trays or snack trays. I mix the chips with the healthy nuts and berries, and balance the bland with salty and spicy. Healthy snacks is what I am all about. Being a vegetarian most of my life my family gets bored with my healthy collection of berries, and nuts, so I give them a break by making smoothies on hot summer afternoons.
With smoothies everything goes. What you add for sweetness is a major part of keeping it healthy. To make smoothies sweet I often add honey, maple syrup, nutella and peanut butter. To make the mix smooth for drinking I add vanilla or chocolate soy, orange juice, or milk. Some cinnamon, vanilla extract with few drops of lemon juice for extra flavor.
Stay cool, and fill the gaps with yummy snacks.😘
Smoothie recipe:
Two bananas
1/2 mango
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blueberries (or other berries)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1cup OJ
1 Tsp Nutella
1Tsp of Honey for sweetness add as needed

Grab a yogurt for snack or a meal on the go
With so many choices, all we have to remember is that plain yogurt has probiotics that are good for our guts, and has calcium to keep our bones strong, and protein for our muscles.
Organic Greek yogurt adds more thickness to smoothies and parfaits. It is high in protein while still being low-cal. There is about 100 calories in a 6-ounce container of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt. With fruits and honey added to plain yogurt we can lose the extra calories added sugar, and additives from flavored yogurts.
