Nutrition & Sleep Workshop
Saturday, 25 November 2023
2.30pm-5pm
Price 20 euros
Why do many of us stop drinking coffee in the afternoon? Why do you sleep well one day and then badly the next? Why do you sometimes fall asleep quickly but then lie awake for an hour in the middle of the night?
Have you ever thought about how your diet affects your sleep and how what you ate during the day may be keeping you awake at night? Most of us know that nutrition affects our overall health. But the influence of our food choices on our quality of sleep is not something that we pay attention to.
Join us for an informative and practical workshop with nutritionist Joske to learn how nutrition and sleep are connected and how to adjust your eating and drinking habits for a good night’s sleep.
You will learn lots of practical information and tips on how to eat and sleep well. You will also experience a relaxing yoga practice with Alison to de-stress at the end of the day.
Topics covered:
– What is a healthy sleep pattern?
– How does a healthy diet contribute to a good night’s sleep?
– Which foods stimulate sleep and which foods disrupt your sleep?
– What other tools can you use to help sleep?
Price:
20 euros – includes practical information and tips on how to eat and sleep well, as well a relaxing yoga class
