Many people in today's society are trying to lose weight so they have a healthy salad at lunch time. Then, after going back to work, they wonder why they are so tired. Well, the reason is this; Lettuce is a natural sedative and regardless of when you eat it during the day it is going to make you relaxed and sleepy.

So what do you do? Enjoy a lettuce salad at night as your evening meal not as a side dish. This will help you relax, calm your nerves and put you into sleep mode.

Lettuce has also been proven to help with the following disorders.
A. Functional disorders of the nervous system, such as nervousness, stress or psychological tension, or anxiety. Regular lettuce consumption produces a mild, and sometimes imperceptible sedative effect, while providing necessary B vitamins for nervous system stability.
B. Insomnia: A large supper consisting of only lettuce is recommended at night for insomnia.
C. Digestive disorders. When eaten before a meal, lettuce tones the stomach and facilitates digestion.
D. Constipation. Lettuce faciliates intestinal function because of its excellent digestibility and fiber content.
E. Obesity. Lettuce produces a great sense of satiety, but provides few calories. At the same time, it helps relieve nervousness and anxiety regarding food that often accompanies obesity. A large plate of lettuce significantly reduces the appetite in addition to providing a considerable amount of vitamins and minerals.
F. Diabetes. Lettuce is very low in carbohydrates; therefore, diabetics can eat it limited only by their appetite.

So there you have it. Eat lettuce at night time instead of your regular large evening meal. It will help your digestion and put you to sleep. By the time your body figures out that it is hungry again you'll be sleeping soundly and ready for a nutritious breakfast (which is still the most important meal of the day.)

Nighty Night!
