Get Better Sleep: Tips for Fibromyalgia Sufferers

Knowing what foods to avoid before bed and what to eat beforehand can result in an easier night's sleep and catching up on some much needed sleep. In today's hectic world, finding time to find a balanced diet and proper nutrition is more often than not a challenge. While there are many foods that can be suggested by a healthcare professional, finding the right balance can be discussed with a healthcare professional. It might seem like an odd snack for the evening, but the old wives' tale that dairy helps can indeed be true. According to several studies, dairy contains tryptophan, which can assist in creating a sleep-triggering melatonin. This can also help with muscle movements and some pain, which is doubly suggested for those with fibromyalgia.

According to The National Dairy Board, not enough Americans are getting enough calcium as they age. Adding calcium rich foods to a diet can help increase longevity, but also aid in muscle regulation. Discussing what options are best with a healthcare professional is suggested before making any major changes to a diet!
