Tried Plant-Based Eating for Better Sleep?

Ever wondered if your dinner plate could impact your sleep quality? A recent study suggests that a healthy plant-based diet—think whole grains, veggies, fruits, nuts, and legumes—might lower your risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by 19% compared to less healthy diets. OSA is a common sleep disorder that causes loud snoring and frequent breathing interruptions at night. While weight loss and exercise are often recommended, what you eat also matters. Interestingly, not all plant-based diets are equal. Diets high in refined grains, sugary drinks, and salty snacks may actually increase your risk. Researchers also found that the benefits of a healthy plant-based diet were more noticeable in men, while unhealthy plant-based choices seemed to affect women more. Small changes, like swapping processed snacks for nuts or adding more veggies to meals, could make a difference for your sleep and overall health. #SleepHealth #PlantBased #SleepApnea #Health #Wellness
