5. Fatty fish

Fatty fish like tuna, salmon, mackerel, and trout are excellent for your health. They are considered superfoods because of the high levels of vitamin D and other sun-related nutrients they contain.

Experts say that nearly 71% of your daily vitamin D requirements can be met by eating only 85 grams of salmon. Still, that’s not the only thing fish can do.

Major research found that those who consumed 300 grams of salmon weekly for half a year went to sleep 10 minutes sooner than those who consumed beef, pork, or chicken.

Experts attributed this impact to the vitamin D present in salmon. It turns out that vitamin D isn’t the only nutrient that might help you fall asleep.

Salmon’s omega-3 fatty acids are well-known for their anti-inflammatory effects, and they can also protect you against cardiovascular disease and boost cognitive function. Yay!
