Sleeplessness or Insomnia is a health disorder caused due to erratic lifestyle patterns. This is the most frequently occurring form of sleep disorder. Experts believe that a person characteristically suffers from inadequate sleep both in terms of quality as well as quantity. Additionally a person suffering from Insomnia would show most of the following symptoms.
- Difficulty in going to sleep
- Frequent rising throughout the night and experiencing difficult in resuming sleep
- Awakening very tired and extremely early in the morning
- Drowsiness during the day
- Difficulty in concentrating and being able to focus on the activities of the day
The primary triggers of insomnia are extreme conditions of stress, high or low temperatures, noise in the neighborhood, frequent or long distance traveling and jet lag and even allergy to certain drugs. Sometimes coffee, drugs, working through the night will also cause insomnia. Secondary type of Insomnia is caused due to sleep apnea, asthma, substance abuse, depression and stress. Stress generally triggers another life-altering drug called as cortical.
Hence Insomnia will have to be treated differently specific to the type of the disorder. Changes in life style patterns are the most recommended along with a major upheaval of the diet. Food rich in protein will relax the brain within an hour of consumption. Therefore large quantities of milk, date, potatoes will release serotonin hormone to help you sleep better. One could substitute most of those varieties and quantities of food with just a handful of fresh acai berries.
Nowadays the health industry is abuzz with this startling fruit called acai berry. The amazing fruit of the date family resembles the grape in physical characteristics and is composed of high quantities of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Additionally the good Omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9 trigger the release of the neurotransmitters – dopamine and serotonin. In fact dopamine is a drug that is administered by anesthetics to cause a patient undergoing a procedure to go to sleep.
Hence a person experiencing difficulty in going to sleep on a regular basis should prefer the use of acai fruit as a food supplement over the prescribed drugs which could cause chemical imbalance in the body after prolonged use. Acai berry can be had in several forms – pulp, pill, powder, juices etc.
Besides being a great stress-buster, acai berries provide important nutritional supplements to the body.
