Strengthening snacks
Feeling tired at work is often caused by a drop in blood glucose. We deliver glucose with food. That is why regular meals are so important to replenish your supplies. If you also drink little - the blood volume decreases, blood pressure decreases, and the ability to concentrate decreases. You feel overwhelming weariness. Try to have a bottle of mineral water at work at all times. Deprived of glucose, the brain is literally starving. Therefore, make sure that he has enough of it. When you have no strength for anything and your head is empty, eat something sweet. But only in urgent need and when you can't afford anything else. If you are trying to lead a he althy lifestyle, a hearty but varied meal is the best solution. A sandwich is the best, because bread is a source of glucose. If you make a sandwich with whole grain bread or with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, etc., you will additionally provide yourself with a lot of micronutrients and B vitamins - necessary for the good condition of the nervous system. The sandwich should include lean sausage (i.e. protein), lettuce, tomato, pepper or cucumber as a source of vitamins and water. Do not forget about the dessert in the form of yoghurt, ripe banana. You can have a packet of chocolate covered nuts or almonds in stock. And remember, it's always better to eat small portions (small sandwich, small yogurt, small banana). A heavy meal makes you feel sleepy.
Colorful snacks to chew on
Make your food colorful. Contrary to appearances, it is of great importance. You will also "feed" your eyes. Make yourself a sandwich with lettuce leaves and pieces of tomato sticking out of it. Prepare radishes or strips of peppers for nibbling. Grapes rich in vitamins A, B and C will do well for you (the dark ones have more iron). they add energy - they contain, among others, grape sugar, i.e. glucose, easily absorbed by the body, because it is part of the blood plasma.
