[www.keralites.net] FOODS THAT HELP YOU SLEEP

5 Foods That'll Help You Sleep Tonight
Lack of sleep can ruin a lot of things: Our mood, our patience, our focus and our sense of enjoyment in life. We've all had those sleepless nights. But taking sleeping pills is usually a problematic strategy, because they don't give you the same natural sleep that strengthens you, and they can become quite addictive, until you can't sleep without them. Better to eat something that will help you fall into a relaxing, renewing, deep sleep.
Here are five recommended foods to put you to bed:
Frozen Bananas
Frozen bananas become a thick and tasty ice-cream. All you need is the right technique of consistent mixing. The idea is to mix for several minutes, until the bananas become a creamy delight. Add a handful of chopped peanuts for an extra tryptophan boost and you have a great combination. Not only will the potassium in the bananas help you fall asleep faster, it can also prevent you waking up for no reason in the middle of the night.
Low Fat Popcorn
The carbs in popcorn will help your body better utilize a checmical calledtryptophan. This chemical is known to relieve tension and put you to sleep. This happens because the tryptophan is converted to serotonin, which is responsible for putting you to sleep and waking you every day. Since a heavy meal about 2 hours before sleep can actually keep you awake at times, a low calorie popcorn bowl is a recommended treat for late night snacks. If you want to add some flavor, we suggest some curry powder or garlic, instead of butter.
Halibut
The halibut fish comes with two great sleep aides: Tryptophan and vitamin B6. It has a meaty, gentle texture that is recommended to sea fruit lovers.
Other foods rich in Tryptophan:
Chicken, Beef, soy, yogurt, bananas, peanuts and eggs.
Mango shake
Mangos are packed full with antioxidents, proteins and vitamins and is also a natural treat that may put to bed your need for something sweet without blasting your body with sugar.
To make a mango shake:
Cut up a fresh mango and but it in the blender. Add a scoopfull of ice, a small scoop of low fat greek yogurt and just a little splash of milk or water. If you want it a bit sweeter still, you can add a bit of honey.
And if you don't like mangos, the same can be done with strawberries in winter and watermelons in summer.
Dried Cherries
A handful of dried cherries won't only give you carbs and serotonin, but also is one of the better known sources of melotonin, known as a sleep inducing hormone (also good against jetlag). If that's not enough for you, they also come packed with antioxidants.

[www.keralites.net] DRINKING PIE MELON

Drinking pie melon (Dosakaya in Telugu; Dosaka in Tamil) juice may counter diabetes :-
Juice should not be consumed if the fruit tastes bitter

Drink juice of Mother Mary's Pie Melon (Dosakaya in Telugu; Dosaka in Tamil) and counter the lifestyle diseases like diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disorders.

With sugar-laden diet and beverages posing a major risk factor for lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cardio-vascular disorders, a group of scientists from Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad has studied the effect of Dosakaya (DK) (Cucumis melo var. chito) juice on sucrose-induced glucose intolerance and oxidative stress. While glucose intolerance leads to more than normal levels of glucose in the blood stream (also called pre-diabetes state), oxidative stress is caused by free radicals and associated with many diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and cancer.

Dosakaya fruit is widely used in different culinary items in South India. It displays multiple anti-oxidant activities which help in preventing damage to tissues caused by free radicals.

During the study, the scientists orally administered prepared sugar solution to rats for a month. When the animals were given Dosakaya juice, it was found that the glucose intolerance inducing capacity of sucrose was significantly reduced. In addition, Dosakaya juice boosted the indigenous anti-oxidant defence system of the body by multiple mechanisms.

The results of the research work were published in Pharmacognosy Magazine in the October-December, 2015 issue.

Lead author of the study and senior principal scientist at IICT, Dr. Ashok Kumar Tiwari, said "our literature as well as international literature over the years has shown that people who adhere to traditional dietary practices are least prone to develop modern-day lifestyle diseases". Since the past 50 years, people around the world have been increasingly consuming processed calorie-rich and energy-dense foods and beverages.

He said the study looked at finding a traditional dietary method which would be beneficial in terms of health.

Another unique finding was that Dosakaya juice reduced sucrose feeding induced hyperlipidemia (excessive amounts of fats and fatty substances in blood), a major risk factor for heart diseases. It was also found that it reduced triglyceride levels in blood. "We are the first group to work on Dosakaya. Our highlight is its therapeutic effects against diabetes and cardio-vascular risk factors", he added.

Dr. Tiwari cautioned against consuming juice when the fruit tastes bitter as it could be toxic. He said diabetics should consult their physicians before consuming as its cumulative effect might lead to hypoglycaemia.
