Minerals such as iron, magnesium and potassium are very important for the body, quality of life and sleep. Potassium is one of the most useful minerals for humans. It serves to make muscles stronger, nerves more functional and blood circulation healthier.
Potassium is found in abundance in many foods that are delicious such as cantaloupe, avocado, banana and white beans. The recommended daily intake of potassium is 4,700 mg per day, so the chances of people suffering from problems caused by potassium deficiency are high.
How potassium deficiency affects sleep quality
Studies cited by the AP say potassium has the potential to promote and improve sleep quality.
Studies have revealed that low levels of potassium in the body have a strong connection with fatigue, tiredness and sluggishness during the day but also with mood swings.
According to these data, over 20 percent of people suffering from mental disorders have potassium deficiency in the body.
For this reason, if the lack of potassium makes a person feel more tired during the day, in the evening the quality of sleep will be bad and the sleep itself will be insufficient for the necessary recovery.
The minerals you need for a good night's sleep
According to data from AgroWeb.org, if a person sleeps less than 7 hours every night, the risk of premature death doubles.
Iron
This mineral helps transport oxygen in the body. This is the reason why its absence causes sluggishness.
Iron deficiency promotes muscle stiffness and involuntary movements of the limbs at night.
magnesia
This mineral helps the body produce melatonin, otherwise known as the sleep hormone.
Experts recommend a daily dose of 600 grams of magnesium except in cases where a person is at risk of kidney disease or low heart rate.
You can find magnesium in herbs, pumpkin seeds and some nuts.
Calcium
Calcium deficiency inhibits the activation of REM sleep, or as it is known, deep and dreamy sleep.
The recommended amount of supplements is 1,000 mg for adults up to age 50 and 1,200 mg for people over age 50.
You can find calcium in herbs, sardines and sesame seeds./AgroWeb.org
