is also a good choice.
Oats
The oat flakes from which porridge is made are an excellent source of vitamin B6, which is needed to promote serotonin levels in the brain. Alkaloids in the grains can also have a relaxing effect.
Tuna
Tuna and other oily fish are an excellent source of calcium, a lack of which is said to cause anxiety.
So increasing the intake of these in the diet may well relieve stress-induced insomnia. Oily fish is also an excellent source of Omega 3 oils, which are essential for general health.
Pasta
A good source of protein for those who are lacking this nutrient and its endorphin-stimulating amino acids.
Pasta has a very low salt content, and is low in fat. It's rich source of complex carbohydrates to fill you up and because it releases energy slowly, helps you feel pleasantly calm.
A perfect food choice for relaxation before bedtime.
Bananas
Bananas are a rich source of potassium, a vital mineral for nerve function and a lack of which can cause you to feel depressed and in turn lead to insomnia.
Bananas also have plenty of serotonin stimulating starchy carbohydrate to relax you and are a good source of the amino acid tryptophan, also needed for the production of serotonin.
Nuts
Nuts are rich in B vitamins,

Nuts are also high in protein,

Strawberries
A source of vitamin C, which helps to produce endorphins and a good source of potassium, a lack of which can cause stress.
The red colour is due to a flavonoid, which seem to function as a biological response modifier or in other words they can change your mood for the better and help you relax.
In conclusion, to have a fully rested body every day is a giant step towards making big progress in the Gym. High intensity workouts can then be maintained for longer periods and you'll have much more energy available during a workout to push out that extra rep.
