Brief summary
The aim of this study to determine the impact of banana and milk on sleep and appetite
Detailed description
Sleep is one of the main components of the continuity of circadian rhythm. It restores energy and enhancement, memory. Sleep disturbances and short sleep duration are important risk factors for many diseases. Nutrition is one of the main determinants of health status in many diseases related to inflammation. Especially the night meal, known as the foods consumed before bedtime, has a strong effect on sleep. Although there are methodological differences, most studies show that unhealthy eating habits are associated with short sleep duration. It is thought that consuming foods with high tryptophan and melatonin content can reduce sleep problems. This study will give a chance to observe the effects of nutrients on sleep and appetite mechanisms.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALBanana arm
Venous blood samples will be taken from the participants in 3 groups before starting the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be applied.Food consumption frequency and food-based follow-up will be carried out.Participants will consume 1 portion of banana (gross 80-85 g) given to them for 6 weeks, approximately 45 minutes-1 hour before bedtime. The frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants each week.
BEHAVIORALMilk arm
Venous blood samples will be taken from the participants in 3 groups before starting the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be applied. Food consumption frequency and food-based follow-up will be carried out. Participants will consume 200 ml of whole milk given to them for 6 weeks, approximately 45 minutes-1 hour before bedtime. The frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants each week.
BEHAVIORALNo intervention
Venous blood samples will be taken from the participants in 3 groups before starting the study. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be applied. The frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants each week.Participants are expected not to make any changes in their diet. As in other groups, the frequency of food consumption will be taken from the participants every week in this group. In order to observe the possible changes in the experimental arms, the individuals in the control arm will be asked not to consume bananas and whole milk after 16:00 and they will be informed about this.
