Source:Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity, Daniel Reid, Fireside, New
York, p 117 Insomnia Inability to sleep owing to nervous tension and/or excess acidity in the system. Pecans: 10-15 whole raw pecans per day provide all the organic pyri- doxine (vitamin B6) the nervous system needs for normal function; this helps eliminate the nervous tension that causes insomnia. Molasses: besides iron, copper and potassium, molasses is rich in organic pyridoxine and calcium, which enhance nervous functions; organic calcium is well known as a promoter of sound sleep; a glass of milk, if pasteurized, will not deliver organic calcium to the system owing to lack of the vital lactase enzyme, which is required to extract calcium from milk; 2 tbsp in warm water, before bed. Bananas: ripe bananas are very rich in potassium, sodium and magne- sium, all of which restore health and balance to nutritionally exhausted nervous systems; also rich in the amino acid tryptophan, which is known to promote sleep. Other beneficial foods: lecithin; wheat germ; grapefruit; parsnips; soy beans; honey. Foods to avoid: vinegar (except apple cider vinegar); cooked meats, especially at dinner; refined starch, especially white bread and sweet pastries; hot peppers; strong coffee and tea; alcohol. |
