I have started drinking tart cherry juice and eating a kiwi before bed. The theory being that kiwi’s have serotonin and tart cherry juice has melatonin that help you sleep. Seems to be working for me. It just seems weird to me that they have serotonin and melatonin. I’m also wondering what other hormones can you get from plants?

    It’s similar to how related languages can derive words from a common ancestor, but the meaning of the word in each language changes differently over time.

    Just to give a fun example with English and French

    • To wait = Attendre, «il attend le bus»
    • To attend = Assister, «il assiste un concert»
    • To assist = Aider «il aide son ami»

    Throwing Spanish into the mix:

    • To wait = Esperar (Sp), «yo espero el bus»
    • To hope = Espérer (Fr), «j’espère gagner»
