Sleeping problems? Learn here about the many benefits of Del Alba Salted Pistachio at bedtime.
The regular consumption of salted pistachios in a diet, especially at dinner time, generates a large contribution of melatonin, an essential component for rest at bedtime. Likewise, it can produce other positive effects on health.
The body produces the hormone melatonin when night comes, in order to initiate the processes that lead humans to sleep. As sleep is essential for the proper functioning of the body, melatonin levels must always be adequate.
Salted pistachio is an easy-to-consume nut with a great contribution of melatonin. A 30-gram shelled serving contains 6 mg of melatonin, a considerable amount provided by many commercial supplements. This hormone is generated thanks to the pineal gland and its main function is the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. In addition to improving night's rest, melatonin participates in the control of the immune system, blood pressure and the regulation of activity and stress hormones.
Multiple research has proven that pistachio can help combat insomnia. A study of 50 individuals with sleep problems showed that consuming melatonin two hours before bedtime allowed them to fall asleep and improved its quality.
A study conducted by the School of Nutrition and Food Sciences at Louisiana State University (United States) determined that raw pistachios contain 660 ng/grams of melatonin. These values are well above those found in other nuts or foods, such as walnuts, vegetables, cereals or legumes.
Now the question is: What is the ideal amount of pistachios to start enjoying the multiple benefits of this nut? The answer is a daily serving of 20 salted pistachios, an amount that would provide us with the same amount of potassium as a banana, for example.
