In the absence of concentration, fatigue and exhaustion, we could help ourselves with certain foods.
There are foods that could supply us with energy and improve our concentration. Francis Largman-Roth calls them "powerful foods ." She is the editor of the sections on food and proper nutrition in Health magazine , where she gives advice on foods that are useful to consume in certain conditions ...
If we feel tired during the day, one of the possible causes is iron deficiency . Moreover, the body of women minerals lost during the menstrual cycle - the same period that often feel a lack of energy .
To deal with this type of problem, some foods come to the rescue. Therefore, if we want to feel energized and focused on the important things of our daily lives, we need to consume more red meat, chicken, as well as whole grains.
If we want to achieve the opposite effect, again the solution comes from food. As we know, coffee is a drink that fills us with vigor, which often comes to us more than necessary. However, in addition to coffee, there are other sources of "super energy" that could bring us side effects and even a state of fear.
These are overly refined foods that have a high content of white flour, such as biscuits, bread. In addition, these foods are devoid of nutrients and fiberwhose function is to maintain a stable blood sugar level in the body.
Excessive consumption of foods with such content can raise blood sugar levels, and then insulin lowers it. As a result of these processes in our body, we begin to feel sluggish and lazy.
To avoid this problem, we should eat foods that contain unrefined carbohydrates , such as brown rice, whole grain pasta.
Do we often forget? We probably have a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B 12 . Omega-3 fatty acids stimulate neurons in the brain to work more efficiently.
Vitamin B 12on the other hand, he struggles with feelings of fatigue, stiffness and embarrassment, confusion. It is recommended to eat salmon - rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and eggs , which in turn contain vitamin B 12 . If there is no change in the condition, a doctor should be consulted.
Although vegetables and legumes are good for us, there are certain types that lead to the formation of large amounts of gas , which in turn invariably leads to unpleasant bloating . These are: beans, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.
Carbonated drinks also "helpfully" help with bloating due to the bubbles and artificial sweeteners they contain. If we suffer from flatulence, we should reduce the amount of vegetables we normally consume, but we should not give them up completely, as they provide us with important nutrients.
However, carbonated beverages must be eliminated completely, and at the expense of them to increase water consumption, which also helps in cases of constipation - another cause of bloating.
Taking supplements that contain probiotics also works well. It is also advisable to talk to your doctor, who will advise which way is most appropriate to solve the problem in this case.
