Episode #35 Bonus Material:


Episode #35 Bonus Article: 10 Foods That Help You Sleep Better

3. Walnuts

These tasty tree nuts contain melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate your sleep cycle. In addition, they provide a helping of tryptophan, which converts to melatonin in your body. Enjoy a handful of walnuts an hour or so before bedtime, and enjoy a restful night.

4. Almonds

Almonds are an excellent source of magnesium, which helps you relax, and protein, which keeps blood sugar levels even throughout the night. Additionally, a daily handful of almonds lowers bad cholesterol levels, boosts brain activity and strengthens your bones.

5. Lettuce

While salad may not be a traditional bedtime snack, it's a surprisingly effective one. That's because lettuce, especially romaine lettuce, contains a phytonutrient called lactucarium, which is said to induce sleep, relieve pain and promote relaxation. If munching on a salad before bedtime isn't appealing, you can brew lettuce tea by pouring very hot water over romaine leaves, then letting them steep for ten minutes before adding a touch of honey for sweet flavor.

6. Cheese

Like all dairy products, cheese contains calcium, which helps relieve stress and relax muscles, along with regulating your body's production of melatonin. With so many cheeses to choose from, you can enjoy a different variety each night. Limit yourself to a few small cubes, or two or three slices of cheese on whole-wheat crackers.

7. Hummus

This Mediterranean chickpea staple is not only delicious; it's also a good source of tryptophan. Enjoy a few teaspoons of hummus on whole-wheat crackers a few hours before bedtime, and you'll reap the benefits of steady blood sugar levels, sleep-inducing hormones and protein to soothe any acid reflux - a common cause of insomnia.

8. Bananas

Sweet, portable, inexpensive and loved by just about everyone - what's not to like about bananas? Even better, they pack a hefty punch of magnesium and potassium; two minerals that help relax muscles and promote sleep. Plus, bananas are a good source of tryptophan. Enjoy a small banana an hour or two before bedtime.

9. Jasmine Rice

Rice might not be your first thought when considering a bedtime snack, but jasmine rice is actually a good way to promote shuteye. It's a high-glycemic food, meaning it releases glucose into your bloodstream at a slow, steady pace, rather than raising your sugar levels high and letting them crash back down. This keeps your brain fueled for the night. Jasmine rice also boosts levels of tryptophan and serotonin, both important for restful sleep. If a bowl of plain rice doesn't appeal to you, mix in a bit of milk and honey.

10. Honey

This sweet stuff is the bee's knees when it comes to helping you get to sleep. Honey's sugar raises insulin slightly, allowing tryptophan to more easily enter the brain where it works its magic in helping induce restful sleep. Simply eat a tablespoon of raw honey before bedtime, preferably on an otherwise empty stomach. If that's too much sweetness to tolerate, stir the honey into a cup of chamomile tea.

Episode #35 Bonus Recipe: Celery Leek Bisque

3 bunches leeks (about 3 pounds), trimmed and well rinsed
2 medium stalks celery, sliced
1 medium carrot, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (about 14 ounces each) chicken broth
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese with garlic and herbs
2 cups half and half, plus additional for garnish
Salt and black pepper
Fresh basil leaves, optional

Combine leeks, celery, carrot, garlic and broth in Crock-Pot. Cover; cook on low 8 hours, or on high 4 hours. Process mixture in blender, 1 cup at a time, until smooth, returning batches to Crock-Pot as they are processed. Add cream cheese to last batch in blender; puree until smooth. Stir cream cheese mixture and 2 cups half and half into soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or cool to room temperature and refrigerate in airtight container (flavors intensify overnight). Reheat before serving. Garnish with additional half and half and basil leaves.

Note: It is very important to rinse leeks thoroughly before using. The gritty sand in which leeks are grown can become trapped between the layers of leaves and can be difficult to see. Cut trimmed leeks in half lengthwise and submerge in several inches of cold water several times to rinse off any trapped sand. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
