Cherries
Oddly, a glass of cherry juice may be an effective way to fall asleep faster, says a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and University of Rochester. In their study, they found that cherries, particularly tart cherries, naturally boosted the body’s supply of melatonin, which helped people with insomnia. While the jury is still out on how much juice or how many cherries are needed to make you sleepy, experts say sipping a glass of cherry juice (available at most natural foods stores) or having a serving of fresh, frozen or dried cherries before bedtime couldn’t hurt.

櫻桃
很奇怪,一玻璃杯櫻桃汁對幫助快速進入睡眠可能有幫助,來自賓夕法尼亞大學和羅徹斯特大學的一組研究者說。在研究中,他們發現,櫻桃尤其是酸櫻桃,可以天然促進人體褪黑激素生成,這就可以幫助那些患失眠癥的人。同時,評委會仍然在研究一個問題,就是需要多大量的汁液或者多少櫻桃才可以讓你睡眠,專家說,吸食一杯櫻桃汁(在大多數天然食品商店有都售)或者吃一份新鮮的、冰鎮的或干櫻桃對人體有益無害。
