WALNUTS AND SLEEP Many think melatonin is something you can take to fall asleep after long airplane flights, but scientists are studying how this powerful antioxidant actually fights diseases like cancer, may impact diseases associated with aging and likely will allow people to live healthier lives. Research at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio has proven walnuts are a natural source of melatonin. According to Russel J. Reiter, Ph.D., Professor of Neuroendocrinology at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, “The ingredients in walnuts would be expected to reduce the incidence of cancer, delay or make less severe neurodegenerative diseases of aging, including Parkinsonism, Alzheimer’s disease and reduce the severity of cardiovascular disease.” Published in the September 2005 issue of Nutrition: The International Journal of Applied and Basic Nutritional Sciences, the study is titled “Melatonin in walnuts: Influence on levels of melatonin and total antioxidant capacity of blood.” Dr. Reiter’s study found walnuts are a potent source of melatonin, which is easily absorbed in the body. “When walnuts are consumed, blood levels of melatonin increase threefold,” notes Reiter. Studies have shown walnuts reduce the risk of heart disease due to their combination of healthy nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Reiter believes it is the synergy among the ingredients in walnuts – the combination of nutrients plus the melatonin that makes them so beneficial. “Melatonin and omega-3s, both of which are in walnuts, starve cancers because they prevent the growth of cancer cells. When you take melatonin as a tablet, you are exclusively getting melatonin. I think the value of the walnut is the composite of what it contains.”

According to an article at Snopes.com, for tryptophan to be active in the brain it must be taken on an empty stomach and without protein. See the article here: http://www.snopes.com/food/ingredient/turkey.asp. -Steve Parker, M.D. www.AdvancedMediterraneanDiet.com/blog

Well this explains why a bowl of cereal has always helped me go to sleep. I have been eating a bowl of Life cereal with milk before bed since I was 14yrs old... it never fails to work.
