Calming options for a good night's sleep

There are great natural supplements that you can take and which are crucial for promoting relaxation and helping the body cope with stress: 

- Magnesium: (found in wheat, rice, dried spices, pumpkin, squash, cocoa etc.): many of us are deficient in this essential mineral and magnesium levels can be further lowered during times of stress. The mineral can also help calm both nerves and muscles.

- Zinc: (found in oysters, toasted wheat germ, veal liver, low fat roasted beef etc.): deficiency has been associated with hyperactivity.

- Valerian: If you find to have a good night’s sleep, the herb valerian could be the way to go.

- Juice Cleanse: research suggests that by eliminating harmful toxins while on cleanse, your body feels 'calmer' and enables the body to achieve much deeper and more sound sleep.
