Anna Wood shares the 3 Spices that will optimise your sleep
Episode 5 of season 11 of The Lifestyle First Podcast is centred around the S in the Lifestyle First Method.
SLEEP: WHICH SLEEP ACTIONS CAN YOU COMMIT TO?
Sleep is absolutely critical to health. Sleeping better for a healthier life can be achieved through simple, regular modifications to allow yourself to tune in to your natural sleep rhythms.

In this episode, to help me explore the 'Which spices can help me to sleep better?' I invited along Anna Wood.
Anna Wood is the founder of JUX food, a startup on a mission to redefine sustainable super-seasonings.
Anna has worked in the music industry for 8 years & recently completed an MBA at Cambridge University before founding her startup seasoning business JUX.

The two references Anna & I explore are:
1. Chamomile: A herbal medicine of the past with bright future - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2995283/
2. Effects of saffron on sleep quality in healthy adults with self-reported poor sleep: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32056539/

As always we give you three actions to take away from the episode which are:
1. Fit herbs & spices into your weekly Veg target. Make one addition of a herb or spice into your daily routine. Use creative methods such as including saffron in your mash or peppermint leaves in your tea. As a top tip if you are using dried herbs in your cooking, cook for about 20 minutes to allow them to rehydrate to get the full flavour & nutritional benefits.
2. Erase one of your food waste habits. For example chopping parsley & popping it in a container with some oil, makes a tasty salad dressing that will last an additional week.
3. 1 in 4 of us in the UK have herbs & spices that are over 5 years old. When recycling the packaging of these date expired herbs & spices consider whether your local council can recycle that packaging or does it need to be taken to different facility.
