There are no more items in your cartThere is a French expression "Qui dort dîne", which means "sleeping is eating", that you can forget about an empty stomach if you go to sleep. The opposite can be true - "eating is sleeping! " What we eat has a direct impact on the quality of our sleep. You have the best chance of achieving top quality slumber when you combine an excellent bed with excellent nutrition. What's the best thing to eat for a good night's sleep? Three balanced meals made up of healthy and well-cooked ingredients, plus a quality bed where each element - mattress, base and accessories - have been carefully selected.
Sleep and nutrition
This is the key to a balanced and successful life. The fundamental principles for French brand Tréca are sleep expertise, the excellence of French savoir-faire and the use of exquisite materials.
As for Épicerie Comptoir Mère Brazier, its values of contemporary gastronomy and the selection of the best regional organic products.
These two brands share common values and naturally recommend each other to their customers.
Eating well
Many people think that eating well has become synonymous with deprivation. On the contrary, eating well, the art of French gastronomy, is more about adopting healthy eating habits without frustration or guilt. This includes the consumption of healthy products, such as sourdough bread made with traditional organic flour by Épicerie Comptoir Mère Brazier. These natural, additive-free foods fill you up quickly and provide the nutrients your body needs to rest and regenerate.
Food has a major impact deep inside our cells, it acts on our genes. To live well and be happy both at the dining table and on the scales, you have to eat a bit of everything, choosing the right products and avoiding excess: that's the key to a harmonious life.
Eating well must remain an object of attention; it refers to the notion of pleasure, taste and conviviality. Eating well means combining pleasure, satiety and balance. Eating well is three balanced meals per day.
The first meal of the day is the most important, as it stimulates intellectual performance. the bread, butter, honey, jams, cereals, tea and coffee from this Epicerie will brighten up your breakfast. Above all, focus on slow sugars, which will guarantee you constant energy throughout the day. For lunch, choose fresh organic eggs, smoked salmon or chicken.
In the evening, choose carbohydrate-rich foods for your dinner, enjoy Italian pasta, rice and organic sourdough bread from the baker at the grocery shop.
To eat well, it is essential to choose the right foods. The Épicerie Comptoir de la Mère Brazier offers you a large choice of products with great taste and nutritional qualities. L’Épicerie Comptoir Mère Brazier brings the best in regional French products. It also offers international products for more exotic flavours.

Sleeping well
We spend about a third of lives asleep! However, unlike nutrition or physical exercise, there are very few messages from public authorities on the importance of sleep for health and well-being. Sleep is often viewed as an obligation, a passive phase of our day that we would like to do without in order to devote more time to other activities, yet it is essential.
An experiment on laboratory animals in the 1980s showed that total sleep deprivation resulted in the death of all guinea pigs after 11 to 32 days.
The role of sleep is essential for proper growth, as has long been demonstrated. When children enter the deep sleep phase, they produce the growth hormone that encourages proper development. In adulthood, we continue to produce this growth hormone, which has the ability to "repair" the physical damage accumulated during the day.
During sleep, we secrete a hormone (leptin) that inhibits the feeling of hunger and stimulates energy expenditure; the French saying "Qui dort dîne" (sleeping is eating) is anchored in our collective memory. Many scientific studies have shown that sleep deprivation is linked to an increased risk of obesity.
Far from being a passive phenomenon, our sleep stimulates our nervous system several times during the night. This is an essential factor for our memory. Sleeping less reduces our intellectual faculties and our ability to learn. To get a good night's sleep, choosing the right bed is essential. But how do we choose a mattress? Are firm ones really the best? Latex or spring? And when do we change them? Are slat bases the most effective? For sleep or for your back, discover the secrets of the ideal bed with the experts at Treca. Tréca Stores are spaces dedicated to your sleep comfort and well-being.
Why have Tréca and Épicerie Comptoir Mère Brazier joined forces? Because your sleep and your health are our priority.
