Instead of setting those typical diet-based New Year’s resolutions, opt for something a bit more sensible. There are non-diet, yet food specific, declarations you can make and feel good about this year. If you’re already comfortable in the kitchen, try perfecting a recipe. If you tend to get bored of your weekly meal routine, try a new food or food group totally outside of your comfort zone. Budgeting in a food luxury, such as a couple of grocery deliveries or a more expensive pasta every now and then, is a fan favorite. While sleep may not seem related to food, there is no denying that catching enough shut eye can affect a person’s quality of nutrition. Maybe you need to spruce up your kitchen. Perhaps a full-blown kitchen remodel is not in your future, but instead a deep clean or a new table runner. All these ideas can help set the tone for healthier nutrition in the new year. |

Melatonin is a hormone released in the brain to assist in sleep cycles. The production and release of this hormone is associated with time of day and light. Towards the evening, when the sun goes to set, your body is signaled to produce this natural sleep aid. Melatonin is prevalent in an over-the-counter form, typically produced in a lab. It is generally safe for both adults and children, although it is recommended its used be coinciding with a doctor’s care. While good sleep habits and general routines are an integral part of getting an appropriate amount of type of sleep, oral melatonin has shown effective for jet lag, shift work disorder, and other sleep disorders such as insomnia. |
