Curd Rice: The Science Behind Its Sleep-Inducing Power Revealed

• Curd rice acts as a natural sleep inducer due to three scientific reasons: Tryptophan, carbohydrates in rice, and high energy expenditure for digestion.
• Tryptophan in curd aids in producing Serotonin and Melatonin, hormones that calm the mind and regulate sleep.
• Carbohydrates in white rice cause a rapid rise in blood sugar and insulin, clearing the path for Tryptophan to quickly reach the brain.
• Digesting curd rice diverts blood flow to the stomach, reducing energy to the brain and promoting rest.
• While beneficial for sleep and gut health, curd rice can cause daytime drowsiness and potential weight gain if consumed excessively.
