导读

经常失眠多梦睡不好?一项研究发现,除了精神压力、身体素质以外,饮食结构似乎也会影响一个人的睡眠质量。


双语阅读


With the coronavirus pandemic, school and work disruptions and a contentious election season contributing to countless sleepless nights, sleep experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related insomnia . Among their recommendations: engage in regular exercise, establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time and social media.

由于新冠疫情,上学和工作中断,以及充满争议的大选季,引发了人们无数个失眠之夜,睡眠专家鼓励人们采取各种措施来克服压力导致的失眠。他们的建议包括:定期锻炼、养成晚间睡前习惯、减少看屏幕和社交媒体的时间。


But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet. A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your dietary choices.

但很多人可能忽略了导致睡眠质量差的另一个重要因素:饮食。越来越多的研究表明,人们所吃的食物会影响睡眠质量,睡眠模式也会影响饮食选择。


Researchers have found that eating a diet that is high in sugar, saturated fat and processed carbohydrates can disrupt your sleep, while eating more plants, fiber and foods rich in unsaturated fat — such as nuts, olive oil, fish and avocados — seems to have the opposite effect, helping to promote sound sleep.

研究人员发现,糖分、饱和脂肪和加工碳水化合物含量高的饮食会扰乱睡眠,多吃蔬菜、纤维和富含不饱和脂肪的食物——比如坚果、橄榄油、鱼和牛油果——效果则截然相反,有助于促进健康睡眠。


Other studies funded by the cherry industry have found that drinking tart cherry juice can modestly improve sleep in people with insomnia, supposedly by promoting tryptophan , one of the building blocks of the sleep-regulating hormone melatonin . Tryptophan is an amino acid found in many foods, including dairy and turkey, which is one of the reasons commonly given for why so many of us feel so sleepy after our Thanksgiving feasts.

樱桃产业资助的其他研究发现,喝酸樱桃汁可以适度改善失眠症患者的睡眠,据说这是通过增加色氨酸——调节睡眠的荷尔蒙褪黑素的成分之一——来实现的。色氨酸是一种氨基酸,存在于许多食物中,包括乳制品和火鸡,这也是为什么我们很多人在感恩节大餐后会觉得昏昏欲睡的原因之一。


But tryptophan has to cross the blood-brain barrier to have any soporific effects, and in the presence of other amino acids found in food it ends up competing, largely unsuccessfully, for absorption. Studies show that eating protein-rich foods such as milk and turkey on their own actually decreases the ability of tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier.
