Office workers are under great pressure and eating NG makes the body more tired

Office workers are busy and stressed at work, and often rely on eating and drinking to relieve stress. Especially after working overtime, they always buy some fried chicken and beer when they get home, or go to a hot pot restaurant with colleagues after get off work to eat and complain. In the long run, not only will they have obesity problems and increased fatigue, but various health indicators will also flash red lights!

Zeng Miaoru, a nutritionist at Daqian General Hospital, said that modern people like to be "foreigners" and have irregular three meals a day. Under the condition of restricted dietary conditions, they often consume sweets, high-fat, high-salt and refined foods. In the long run, this will not only aggravate fatigue and discomfort, but also cause nutritional imbalance. If triglycerides remain high for a long time, they can increase your risk of pancreatitis, which can also cause abdominal pain, confusion, and circulation problems.

Eat away all the fatigue ~ Prioritize supplementing 6 nutrients

Only by eating smartly can you eliminate fatigue. Nutritionist Zeng Miaoru said that on the premise of a balanced diet every day, special priority should be given to supplementing six major nutrients, including B vitamins, plant compounds, calcium, magnesium, zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids and tryptophan.

1. Vitamin B group: Fatigue and stress will increase the body's energy metabolism, and B group is a cofactor that assists energy metabolism, which will increase the consumption of B group, so a higher amount of B group is needed. Food sources rich in B complex include whole grains (brown rice, wheat germ, oats, etc.), yeast, offal, egg yolks, dairy products and dark green vegetables.

2. Plant compounds: Fatigue and stress can easily cause cells in the body to be attacked by free radicals, causing oxidative damage and affecting health. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as green peppers, broccoli, spinach, citrus fruits, guava, strawberries and kiwifruit, which are rich in antioxidant nutrients and plant compounds, which can protect the body from damage and also help resist stress.

Nutritious and balanced food can replenish energy and fight fatigue.

3. Calcium, magnesium, and zinc: These minerals can maintain the normal functions of muscles, nerves, and heart, and have a certain effect on stabilizing emotions. The main food sources are milk, dried fish, green vegetables, nuts, dehydrated fruits and seafood.

4. Dietary fiber: Fatigue and stress can cause sympathetic nerve activity, inhibit intestinal motility, and make constipation more likely to occur in the long term. At this time, consuming more fiber-rich vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and drinking appropriate amounts of water can help intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, and eliminate fatigue.

5. Omega-3 fatty acids: Supplementing with enough Omega-3 fatty acids can stabilize mood, promote brain development, fight inflammation, fight allergies, and eliminate fatigue. It is recommended to eat blueback fish twice a week. Mackerel, saury, horse mackerel, salmon, and tuna are all good choices. Omega-3 fatty acids for vegetarians can be replaced by cold-pressed sesame oil, flaxseed oil, perilla oil, etc.

6. Tryptophan foods: Tryptophan can produce serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is one of the "happiness molecules" in the brain and can promote positive thoughts. Food sources include bananas, dairy products, tofu skin, nuts, etc.
