With the increasingly busy pace of life, more and more people are working longer hours. Many people work until eight or nine in the evening before going home to rest. Compared to breakfast, sleep is their preferred choice. The consequence of skipping breakfast is that people's stomachs will start to growl before noon, which is a signal for them to start looking for snacks, such as a small piece of cake, a chocolate bar, or other small snacks. Some office workers use snacking as a way to relieve work stress.
Snacking can help relieve stress to a certain extent. With the faster pace of life and increasing work pressure, facing computers and piles of documents every day can make you feel stressed. At this time, a piece of gum, a preserved plum, or a glass of milk can be a good choice. Giving yourself positive self-suggestions can bring comfort and help alleviate tension, which can contribute to improved work efficiency. Many people are also unaware that snacking can also supplement nutrients and maintain normal brain function.
From another perspective, snacks contain a large amount of sugar, fat, and calories. Therefore, eating a small amount of snacks can replenish the calories consumed by the body. Due to the high calorie content of snacks, without damaging the stomach or causing excessive absorption, it is recommended to prepare some fruits before work. When the body's energy is depleted, such as around noon, people can eat some fruits. Fruits are rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, which can supplement various essential nutrients that may be lacking in regular meals and promote gastrointestinal motility and enhance digestive function. Apples are the best choice, or you can eat an orange, which has a calming effect and can help you calm down.
Drinking water can also increase the feeling of fullness, satisfying your desire to eat in a short period of time, which allows people to have a normal meal during lunchtime. Around 11 a.m., most people feel tired and hungry. At this time, eating a few small pieces of chocolate can replenish energy and make people more alert. Alternatively, choosing to eat some nuts, such as peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc., can quickly restore physical strength and have great benefits in improving brain nutrition. After 3 p.m., people generally feel a sense of emptiness in their stomachs. It is best to choose foods that can increase satiety and replenish energy. If you have consumed less vegetables during lunch, it is advisable to eat some fruits in the afternoon.
Tips:
White-collar workers have significant issues with their diet. Due to work reasons, most white-collar workers choose fast food, which often lacks balanced nutrition and variety. This is obviously unhealthy for white-collar workers who face work pressure and have a fast-paced life. It is recommended for this group of people to pay more attention to balanced nutrition and correct their bad habits of being picky eaters. Do not rely on boxed meals every day; at most, have one boxed meal a day. It is also important to eat more leafy vegetables and less meat and oil.
After lunch or between meals, it is advisable to eat some fruits, such as fresh dates, apples, oranges, strawberries, kiwis, etc., to maintain cardiovascular health and enhance immune function.
