What can I eat to relieve fatigue when I am tired

After a day of high-pressure work and study, the body is in a state of fatigue. Doing this for a long time will reduce the body's office efficiency and is not conducive to the body's absorption of new knowledge. Therefore, when we feel tired, we should use appropriate methods to relieve fatigue. Fatigue can also be improved through diet therapy. The trace elements and nutrients in food are effective substances for relieving fatigue. Here are a few methods.

First, alkaline foods are indispensable in the diet, such as fresh vegetables (purple cabbage, broccoli, celery, lettuce, radish, Chinese cabbage), fruits, fungi, algae, milk, etc., which can neutralize the "fatigue factor" in the body - lactic acid, to relieve fatigue.

Second, calcium is a natural stress reliever. People who lack calcium are always exhausted and nervous, and the fatigue caused by work cannot be relieved. When taking calcium-rich foods such as milk and yogurt, don't forget to supplement magnesium. "If you supplement calcium without magnesium, you will regret it after eating!" Fresh wheat germ, buckwheat, walnuts, almonds, red wine, bananas, seaweed, unprocessed honey and soybeans are rich in magnesium.

Third, supplement with foods rich in aspartic acid such as meat, bean sprouts, beans, asparagus, pears, peaches, etc. to promote metabolism, remove lactic acid, eliminate fatigue, and promote physical recovery.

Fourth, increase the intake of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as mackerel, salmon, silver fish, herring and herring. You can also eat foods containing essential fatty acids and fiber, such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds, such as adding olive oil or sunflower oil to salads.

Fifth, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and other B vitamins are natural detoxifiers that relieve stress and nourish nerves. They are essential nutrients for eliminating fatigue and are also the vitamins that Chinese people are most likely to lack. Appropriate supplementation is especially beneficial for people with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Sixth, don't drink carbonated drinks, drink more water (even if you are not thirsty), especially alkaline water, which helps detoxify the liver and intestines.
