Mindful Eating Quotes by Nataša Pantović

Real Food What to Eat and Why: Veggie and Fruits for a good night of sleep

Eating healthy foods calms your nervous system and gives you a healthy sleep.

Say no to high-fat and spicy foods: canapes, cheese plates, and mini meatballs. They are all difficult to digest  keeping you up at night.  Say no to processed foods that contain a lot of sodium, that raises your blood pressure and dehydrates you.

A useful tip: Before bed, have a cup of chamomile tea with a tea-spoon of honey; the plant is a mild sedative that calms your body and mind & honey's nutritional & healing properties are just amazing.
