Besides adjusting lifestyle, nutrition experts believe that some natural drinks such as black bean water can help improve sleep and help the body relax effectively.
According to Cleveland Clinic - the leading non-profit academic medical center in Cleveland (USA), black beans contain a lot of magnesium, potassium and B vitamins, nutrients that play an important role in relaxing the nervous system and supporting sleep. Magnesium is especially considered a mineral that helps reduce stress, improve sleep quality and reduce midnight awakening.
In addition, foods rich in antioxidants and minerals such as black beans can help the body balance hormones, reduce stress and support deeper sleep.
To cook black bean water, you can do it in the following simple way:
Prepare 100g of black beans (should choose green beans).
Wash thoroughly, stir-fry lightly on a pan until fragrant.
Put in a pot with 1-1.5 liters of water, boil for about 15-20 minutes
You can add a few slices of ginger or a little pineapple leaf to enhance the flavor.
Black bean water after cooking can be drunk warmly or cooled for daily use. The best time is to drink it in the afternoon or about 1-2 hours before bedtime for the body to relax better.
Experts also recommend not drinking too much black bean water, especially for people with low blood pressure or taking medication for illness. Combining this drink with a healthy lifestyle, limiting the use of electronic devices before bed will help improve sleep more effectively.
A glass of warm black bean water not only helps cool down but also brings a feeling of relaxation, supporting a good night's sleep naturally.
