Peaches are a great source of vitamins B3, beta-carotene, and folate. Peaches also contain a good amount of calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. The lutein and zeaxanthin in peaches help promote healthy eyes while the boron found in peaches can help to stabilize hormones and reduce the craving for something sweet during times of PMS.

Eat an orange! Who doesn't love biting into these juicy citrus fruits. Not only are oranges an amazing source of vitamin C but they contain vitamin E, K, beta-carotene and folate. They are also great sources of heart-healthy magnesium and immune-boosting zinc.

Wheatgrass contains over 90 different minerals including calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It’s also an amazing source of vitamin C (perfect for boosting immunity) and vitamin A (for healthy vision and eyes). In addition to these health benefits, wheatgrass has enzymes that can help aid in digestion, something that is important for helping us stay energized.

Beat insomnia by including foods that are high in B vitamins (like whole grains, leafy greens, wheat germ), calcium (yogurt, spinach, broccoli) and magnesium (apples, nuts, brown rice). Some other great foods to help you sleep include cherries, walnuts, endive, and basil. Limit your intake of caffeine, refined foods, and alcohol.

Sleep is important and your body will notice if it's not getting enough of it. A FitPerez reader named B.D. is facing insomnia and wrote Margaux J. Rathbun for nutritional advice to finally fall asleep again, asking:
Hi Margaux! I think I am becoming an insomniac. I can't seem to fall asleep at night and when I finally do, I wake up a couple of hours later only to toss and turn for hours. Can you give me some nutrition tips to help with this? Thanks in advance!
