Does betel nut refresh you?

I believe that many people often take a piece of betel nut and chew it continuously when they feel very tired. It can make our nerves excited and feel the things in our mouths, and we will not feel sleepy. In fact, betel nut has a certain refreshing effect, but we must also pay attention to the correct use of betel nut. Betel nut contains a lot of bioalkalis, and the bioalkali components have a certain effect on the nervous system. So when you are driving, working, or working overtime at night, you can use betel nut to refresh yourself.

Can betel nut refresh you?

It can refresh you. Betel nut contains a lot of alkaloids. These alkaline components have certain effects on the nervous system, and appropriate intake can have a stimulating effect on the nerves.

For example, car drivers like to eat betel nuts while driving, especially at night, because those friends who drive long-distance buses need to keep their heads clear at all times when driving at night. At this time, they will take a piece of betel nut and put it in their mouths to chew, so that they can keep a fresh brain when driving at night.

Another place where betel nuts are consumed is at night markets. People there like to have fun at night, but friends who have played there know that they will feel very sleepy in the second half of the night, so they will eat betel nuts to refresh themselves.

Betel nut can refresh you, but be careful not to eat too much

It is also not advisable to eat foods that are designed to stimulate the mind. Eating too much will backfire and cause hallucinations and dizziness.

If you feel dizzy after eating too much betel nut, you need to stop eating betel nut immediately. If the case is mild, you don’t need to treat it and it will disappear on its own after 5 to 10 minutes. If you want to speed up the recovery process, you might as well drink plenty of water to dilute the liquid in the betel nut, promote the rapid elimination of the betel nut components, and play a certain role in the recovery of dizziness. Of course, if the situation is more serious, such as severe dizziness or vomiting, you still need to seek medical attention promptly.

Healthy ways to stay alert while driving long distances

I don’t know when it started, but many people in China have developed the habit of chewing betel nuts, especially drivers who drive for long periods of time, who regard betel nuts as a refreshing treasure. However, eating too much betel nut is really bad. Betel nut is a Class I carcinogen, which was the rating given to betel nut by the International Agency for Research on Cancer under the World Health Organization in 2003. Drivers who feel sleepy during long-distance driving are advised to take the following healthy and refreshing methods:

1. Find a safe place to take a nap. Of course, the parking space must be safe and legal. If you need to drive long distances continuously, you should take a 20-minute break every 4 hours during the day and every 2 hours at night. This is the most effective way to avoid fatigue driving.

2. You can also look out the window to lengthen your vision which has been focused on the close distance. It helps to overcome the habit of dozing off and prevents the occurrence of myopia.

3. Massage the temples of the head. Use four fingers together to massage the upper and lower eyelids first, then move the massaging fingers from the corners of the eyes to the temples, and massage for several minutes. It is best to keep your emotions stable, chest up and abdomen in during massage, so as to achieve a certain effect.

4. When you are waiting for traffic lights, stuck in traffic or refueling, you can wipe your face a few times with a wet towel you carry with you. The cool stimulation will help you wake up. If you want a better effect, I don't mind you using an ice towel and placing it on your forehead for ten minutes and then taking it off. I guarantee you will regain your senses immediately.

5. If you are planning to drive long distances, it is best to prepare some refreshing drinks in the car, such as Red Bull, tea, coffee, etc. However, everyone's physique is different, so the refreshing effects of different drinks are also different. Some people find Red Bull more refreshing, but others find coffee more refreshing.
