In the past few days I did an involuntary experiment regarding my dinner and am posting my superficial conclusions here.
I had increased the amount of leafy greens and steamed vegetables on my dinner plate a couple of weeks ago and noticed that it correlated with poorer sleep.
What I am actually doing now is resctricting high salicylate foods from my dinner plate and sleeping the whole night again. Salicylates are hard on the gut, liver and kidneys to be metabolized and excreted. They are plant hormones and phenolic compounds which raise uric acid in order to be excreted.
Perhaps this info can help someone else out there. Just a little food for thought
