If you are always troubled by insomnia, then from now on, you can eat some millet and soybean milk porridge every day. Millet and soybean milk not only contain a large number of nutrients, but also can promote the sleeping quality if they are mixed together.

Millet is one of the representative foods to enrich the blood and tonify the body. It is often used to make porridge. The traditional way is to use water to cook millet porridge. In fact, you can try to replace the water with soybean milk, which is not only beneficial to the digestion and absorption of human body, but can also soothe the nerves and make people fall asleep quickly.

Millet is rich in tryptophan. After tryptophan is metabolized by the body, it can produce a large number of 5-hydroxy tryptamine (5-HT), which can inhibit the excitement of central nervous system, and make people have some feeling of sleepiness. What's more, 5-HT can also transform into melatonin, which can calm the nerves and improve the sleep quality.

In addition, millet also contains a variety of vitamins, amino acids, fats and carbohydrates. It has a high nutritional value. For example, every 100 of millet contains 0.12 mg of carotene, which is not contained in other general grains; and the content of vitamin B1 contained in millet is also the highest in all the grains. What's more, millet is also rich in iron, which is twice as that of rice with the same weight. All of these make millet as the ideal tonic for the elderly people and pregnant women.

However, there are also some shortages of the nutrition of millet. For example, millet contains little lysine but too much leucine, and the nutritional value of soy protein is not better than that of rice. As a result, if you only take millet as the staple food, it is likely to lack of other nutrients. In order to supplement the deficiency of these nutrients, it is a good idea to mix millet and soybean milk together.

The main raw material of soy milk is soybean, which contains about 40% of protein. The composition of amino acids in soy protein is very close to the amino acids needed by human body. In addition, soy protein contains a lot of lysine, which can just complement the lysine deficiency of millet.

In a word, if you use soybean milk to cook millet porridge, it not only can improve the taste of millet, but can also make the nutrition of these two kinds of food well complement with each other, so as to play a good effect in promoting the sleep.
