"Prebiotics" may help to better sleep

Washington, February 26: We know that Indian spices helps to prevent the diseases and gives instant results without side effects rather than the medicines. The Researchers of colorado boulder university of scientist found that "prebiotics" helps to reduce the lack of sleep. They have investigated recently on rats, They god results from as good sleep from rats, which has taken by the prebiotics food.

Prebiotics – dietary fibers found naturally in foods like artichokes, raw garlic, and onions – may help improve sleep and buffer the physiological impacts of stress, a first-of-its-kind study suggests.

"We found that dietary prebiotics can improve non-REM sleep, as well as REM sleep after a stressful event," said Robert Thompson, a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder in the US.

Findings revealed that the rats on the prebiotic diet spent more time in non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep, which is restful and restorative than those on the non-prebiotic diet.

"Given that sufficient NREM sleep and proper nutrition can impact brain development and function and that sleep problems are common in early life, it is possible that a diet rich in prebiotics started in early life could help improve sleep, support the gut microbiota and promote optimal brain/psychological health," the researchers said.

"It’s far too early to recommend prebiotic supplements as a sleep aid. More studies are in the works to examine what role prebiotics can play in promoting sleep, or buffering stress in people," Fleshner added.
