Could your diet be the key to a better night’s rest?

Foods like tart cherry juice, kiwifruit, leafy greens, and wholegrains—rich in nutrients that help the body produce melatonin and serotonin—may support better rest. Still, experts stress that no single food is a magic fix; the key lies in a balanced, plant-forward diet and consistent eating patterns throughout the day.
