Anna Wood shares the 3 Spices that will optimise your sleep

Episode 5 of season 11 of The Lifestyle First Podcast is centred around the S in the Lifestyle First Method.

SLEEP: WHICH SLEEP ACTIONS CAN YOU COMMIT TO?

Sleep is absolutely critical to health. Sleeping better for a healthier life can be achieved through simple, regular modifications to allow yourself to tune in to your natural sleep rhythms.

* * * * *

In this episode, to help me explore the 'Which spices can help me to sleep better?' I invited along Anna Wood.

Anna Wood is the founder of JUX food, a startup on a mission to redefine sustainable super-seasonings.

Anna has worked in the music industry for 8 years & recently completed an MBA at Cambridge University before founding her startup seasoning business JUX.

The two references Anna & I explore are:

1. Chamomile: A herbal medicine of the past with bright future - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2995283/

2. Effects of saffron on sleep quality in healthy adults with self-reported poor sleep: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32056539/

•••••

As always we give you three actions to take away from the episode which are:

1. Fit herbs & spices into your weekly Veg target. Make one addition of a herb or spice into your daily routine. Use creative methods such as including saffron in your mash or peppermint leaves in your tea. As a top tip if you are using dried herbs in your cooking, cook for about 20 minutes to allow them to rehydrate to get the full flavour & nutritional benefits.

2. Erase one of your food waste habits. For example chopping parsley & popping it in a container with some oil, makes a tasty salad dressing that will last an additional week.

3. 1 in 4 of us in the UK have herbs & spices that are over 5 years old. When recycling the packaging of these date expired herbs & spices consider whether your local council can recycle that packaging or does it need to be taken to different facility.
