Episode Beat the Afternoon Slump, Sleep Better & Why Every Minute of Exercise Counts
Why do so many of us hit an energy slump around 3pm? Could what you eat during the day help you sleep better that night? And when it comes to exercise, does every minute really count?
This week, we unpack new research linking fibre and a greater variety of plant foods with better sleep, and look at why the answer isn’t one magical “sleep food”. We also explore the science behind the afternoon energy slump, what to eat when it hits and why fruit sugar isn’t the same as the sugar in sweets. Plus, fascinating new research on why maintaining movement as we age matters, whether obsessing over your sleep score could actually make you feel worse, and the growing evidence behind tai chi.
