 Almost all working women are experiencing the afternoon tiredness and lethargy. And of course, there is only one: caffeine and sugar. It helps us become more energetic (and a chatty). However, the effect does not last more than 15 minutes. A nutritionist Lauren Slayton, nutrition consultant in New York, advises how to revise its power to save energy during the day.
Tips Lauren Slayton:
- Eat small portions. All that the body wants after a hearty lunch - a siesta. Therefore, instead of lunch calorie 500 calories, try eating small portions of 20 or 300 calories. This will help keep your metabolism and maintain blood sugar levels. So, divide your hearty meal for two and take the first part of 12-30, and the second - half of the fourth.
- Take care of the gland. "Whenever customers are saying that they have a low energy level, I assume that they eat foods that are low in iron and protein," - says Loren. Iron deficiency can make you tired and sluggish, in addition, the amino acids contained in protein help you feel "full combat readiness." Lauren recommends "settle" on peanut butter and apples, also try oatmeal with nuts, eggs and cheese. Dust with any dish seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame), they contain vitamin B and protein is so small "granules of energy."
- Drink enough water. People are rarely saturated with moisture all day. Dehydration can directly lead to fatigue, because the blood is thickened, it causes the heart to work harder, which leads to fatigue. Rarely who drink enough water in the morning. Dr. Slayton advises drinking a liter of water before lunch, and after a liter. Naturally, not at once. She adds that if you think plain water boring and tasteless, it can sometimes replace seltzer or herbal tea, but stay away from juices in them a lot of fruit sugars without fibers.
- Another tip. If you decide you want to caffeine or sugar, you know that they are not only in coffee and sweets. Green tea, for example, contains about one-third of caffeine, which is in the same volume of coffee, and sometimes it is sufficient to energize. And if you want sweet, it is better to choose a cookie instead of candy. Better if it will be a cookie containing whole grains. This is a very nice recharge during the day.
