The sleep of shift workers will be improved by a type of spice

For workers working by shift, especially evening shifts and night shifts, dinner not only plays an energy supply role but also directly affects sleep quality and physical recovery ability.

Coriander, a familiar spice, if used properly for dinner can bring many health benefits.

First of all, shift workers should use coriander in moderation for dinner. Coriander has a fragrant smell and contains essential oils, which help relax the nerves and aid digestion, but if eaten too much can cause a strong smell, slightly stimulate the digestive system, not suitable for the preparation stage for rest. A small amount of fresh coriander, sprinkled on dishes or eaten with it is enough to promote the effect without causing discomfort.

Regarding the preparation, coriander should be used fresh or lightly cooked. Workers can add coriander to warm soups, porridge, soups or steamed dishes to make it easier to digest and help the body relax after work. Avoid stir-frying coriander with a lot of fat or spicy spices, as this can cause bloating and affect sleep, especially for those who have just finished their night shift.

The time to eat coriander is also a factor to note. Meals for shift workers are often late, so they should eat at least one to two hours before bedtime.

Coriander is eaten for light dinner, not too full, will aid digestion and help the body gradually switch to a state of rest. If you eat too much close to bedtime, even if it is a beneficial food, your digestive system still has to work hard, causing difficulty sleeping.

Coriander should be combined with other foods in a balanced way. When eaten with light sources of protein such as fish, eggs, tofu and other green vegetables, coriander will help the meal be both nutritious and not put pressure on the stomach. This balance is especially important for shift workers, because their bodies are prone to fatigue and metabolic disorders.

When used properly, coriander is not only a simple spice but also becomes a factor that supports sleep, helping workers recover their health and adapt better to the rhythm of working by shift.
