Salmon and Sleep.
Sleep and salmon may seem like an odd combination but go with me for a minute.
Salmon is a popular fatty fish that it’s loaded with nutrients and has many impressive health benefits. Salmon is a great source of protein, B Vitamins, Potassium, selenium, and antioxidants.
But how does salmon improve my sleep?
There are strong connections between sleep and food. Understanding these connections can help you succeed in your wellness goals,

The combination of Omega fatty acids and Vitamin D found in salmon is one of the key factors in improved sleep.
These have both been proven to increase natural levels of serotonin. Serotonin is considered a natural mood stabilizer and sleep booster.
FYI, serotonin can also enhance your sex life.
All in all, salmon is a great option when you are trying to improve your sleep.
Steamed Salmon with Lemon Aioli is a delicious and healthy option. Do not serve it with simple carbs if sleep is an issue.
People who eat simple carbs in the evening will often find their sleep disrupted.

If salmon is intimidating then a foil wrap cooking method may put you at ease.

Thank you, my friend. I am happy to have you back.
Hi Elise,
I have the BEST sleep at night – all on my own. I look forward to my dreams – no matter how weird they may be. I also have a light show that’s on the ceiling in blues and green colors. It’s very relaxing. I call it my “canopy of stars”
I love the idea of the canopy of stars. Thank you for sharing that with us.
