“This little nugget is full of benefits in particular for sleep”: here is on what fruit to bet in this period!

The start of the year is never a very calm and relaxing period. This is why, to keep good energy, sleep well and be simply in shape, food plays a key role in our daily lives. In particular, there are certain foods to favor, some of which are little known and yet.

Today, we are going to tell you about the bitter orange. If the gentle, the most basic orange is very often consumed, the bitter orange is made much more discreet on the stalls. This is a shame since it would be excellent for health. In particular, it would promote falling asleep. This is how on Instagram the premier Clotilde Jacoulot became interested in this fruit in a video. Here is everything you have to remember about this super food.

“Did you know that this little nugget is full of benefits, especially for sleep?”, Can we read in legend of the Instagram post of Jacoulot Primeur. Indeed, you may not be aware but bitter orange has real virtues for falling asleep. Like lavender, it has relaxing and tranquilizing properties that make it possible to deal with insomnia problems. Thanks to its calming properties, it is effective in finding a calm and calm sleep. “It’s really super efficient, trying” says the premiere.

That’s not all, in traditional Chinese medicine, bitter orange has been used for centuries to treat certain digestive disorders. In particular, it facilitates digestion because it stimulates the stomach and promotes the production of gastric juices. It thus allows the maintenance of good intestinal activity. Finally, it stimulates the body’s natural defenses. Which makes bitter orange a major ally for winter.

Unlike sweet orange, bitter orange is not eaten. It is a fruit far too acidic to be consumed raw. The best is to use your zest as explains Clotilde Jacoulot: “It is the zest that makes all the difference! Add it in a yogurt, a tea or even use your essential oil to enjoy its soothing virtues ”. So it’s up to you to test!
