Did you know: Eating avocados can help you sleep better at night

Turns out Avocados are high in B vitamins, a vitamin that helps regulate your sleep.

According to the Alaska Sleep Clinic there are four main vitamins and minerals that can be found in food that aid in promoting sleep: tryptophan, magnesium, calcium, and B6. Three of these four vitamins are found in avocados.

So if you feel like having some "zaboka ak pain" (avocado and a slice of bread) for super, you'll be fine!

Good night!
