However, did you know that its numerous advantages also include a good night's sleep? The necessity of a decent breakfast in the book 'Tired but Wired,' mentions the need of vital nutrients and, most significantly, a sense of well-being. For a good night's sleep, the book recommends eating eight almonds and two dates within 30 minutes of waking up.
These power packed foods are supposed to help produce the important hormone melatonin that helps you sleep better at night. A handful of nuts, followed by fruits, aids in metabolism and blood sugar stabilisation. Of course, the key to getting the best outcomes is to keep to a schedule and a routine as much as possible.
However, if you're having trouble getting a good night's sleep, our blog is highly recommended, since it contains some useful advice on how to sleep without feeling restless or worried.

Daniel Hendy, the father of a 2-year-old boy, had been at the pool with his son for an hour when he noticed an 18-month-old under the water in what he described as โa freak, horrible situationโ.
โ...I quickly knew something was wrong, and I sprinted over,โ he said.
Hendy was about 5m away when he โstormedโ over to pull the child from under the lane rope.
โStaff came over, rolled him over and started trying to resuscitate him, I could feel his belly was full of water.โ
The child was revived and taken to hospital in an ambulance.
Dave Stewart, head of active recreation at Auckland Council, thanked Hendy for his quick thinking and crucial response to the situation.

NELSON-MARLBOROUGH: Peter & Caroline Pomeroy - Victoria Gardens
"Caroline and Pete of Victoria Gardens, Motueka, are always helpful and cheerful, selling excellent spray-free fruit that they have grown themselves.

NORTHLAND: Tracey Haika - Or Near Offer Village Boutique

WAIKATO: Roger Nicholson - The Backyard Gastro Pub
"The local pub at Whatawhata make great fish n chips with generous servings. They're lifesavers - always there when the power is out on the Raglan side of the Waipa River. We've just had two full days out of power thanks to 'Cyclone Dovi' and they have come through once again. Local saviours!"
WELLINGTON: Josh Coe - Page 42 Cafe
"Page 42 Cafe are great employers who grow the skills of local youth, with a fantastic culture set by the owner Josh.
