The Nighttime Secret to Staying Strong After 60

2. Kiwi: small but powerful

Kiwi is not only an excellent source of vitamin C, but it also contains antioxidants and natural serotonin, which promote deep, restorative sleep. In addition, its potassium and magnesium content helps prevent nighttime muscle cramps and tension.

How to include it:
Eat one or two kiwis as a dessert after dinner or as a light evening snack. This will help you sleep better and prepare your body to regenerate while you rest.

3. Plant-based milk with turmeric: a natural anti-inflammatory

Turmeric is a spice with powerful anti-inflammatory effects, ideal for combating muscle loss. When combined with a warm plant-based drink (such as almond or oat milk), it creates a comforting preparation that relaxes the body, promotes better circulation, and supports cell repair during the night.

How to include it:
Dissolve half a teaspoon of turmeric in a cup of warm plant-based milk. You can sweeten it with a touch of honey if you like. Drink this beverage 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime.
