Why you should drink milk before going to sleep
Sleep disorders – a serious problem that worries modern man. However, a glass of warm milk before bedtime will help you fall asleep easily and give vigor the next day.
This effect is due to melatonin, a hormone found in milk. Melatonin is produced by the pituitary gland of mammals and regulates the biorhythms of the body.
Scientists were able to prove that melatonin, being a powerful antioxidant, promotes normalization of sleep and the circadian rhythm of the body, and also reduces the risk of cancer and other serious diseases.
Also found that the content of melatonin in the milk increases when milking cows before dawn, before the cows will see the light of the morning. This discovery was made by Maya Valtonen, former Professor of the University of Kuopio. Academic — the vet, who became President of the company, said that “night” milk allows people to compensate for the deficiency of melatonin, consuming a natural product instead of artificial food additives.
