U.S. researchers recently found that a high-fat diet can make people drowsy during the day, reaction sensitivity is also reduced to carbohydrate-based diet will make people have spirit. In fact, life is often “eat too much, people sleepy” of the “meal drunk” phenomenon. Accordingly, nutrition experts suggest that the proportion of carbohydrate and fat, protein intake in the diet should be balanced, and it is best to tailor individual recipes according to the characteristics of the occupation and health status to avoid excessive meals. Eat too much meat more sleepy during the day According to reports, researchers at the Penn State College of Medicine recently conducted a study of diet and daytime mental conditions in 31 healthy, non-obese adults. These people were between the ages of 18 and 65 and did not normally have problems with insomnia. They slept in a sleep lab for four consecutive nights, then underwent a Multiple Sleep Study During the Day (MSLT) and five dietary assessments. The results of the study showed that those who consumed more high-fat foods were more likely to be drowsy during the day and their sensitivity to the outside world was also affected. This problem was not seen in people whose diets included more carbohydrates. At the same time, a person’s daytime alertness was not related to the amount of protein consumed in the diet. Recipes should be chosen according to occupational characteristics It is not necessary to specialize in brain-boosting foods in order to stay energized. The simplest and most economical way is to eat a balanced diet, ensuring adequate energy intake and a balanced ratio of various nutrients. Don’t copy a certain dietary program just because it looks healthy. Recipes are best customized. Different recipes should be designed according to different occupations, recent work intensity and health conditions, and the approximate daily energy requirement should be calculated. Adolescents have a high demand for energy due to growth and development, while adults have little fluctuation in energy consumption, making it even more important to avoid over-eating resulting in over-nutrition and obesity. Too much fat intake, the brain is prone to lack of oxygen Western diets include a lot of red meat, eggs and dairy products, as well as sweets, fat intake is higher; while the Chinese diet to rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits and other carbohydrates, fat intake moderate. When more energy is provided than the body needs, excess fat will accumulate in the body, leading to elevated cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, and blood transport will be affected, with a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the red blood cells in the blood, and thus hypoxia. As the brain reacts very sensitively to the lack of oxygen in the body, people tend to show a drowsy state. Eating can also “intoxicate” people. After a meal, a lot of blood flow to the intestines and stomach to help peristalsis digestion, the brain relative lack of oxygen, will behave like a drunk like dizziness and sleepy, and the more you eat, the easier it is to sleepy after a meal. Excess carbohydrates will also make people fat In addition to obesity due to excess nutrition, the risk of diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other metabolic syndromes will also be elevated. Hyperlipidemia patients often appear dizziness, fatigue, insomnia and forgetfulness, numbness of the limbs, chest tightness, palpitations and other symptoms, easy to evolve into cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Compared with fat and protein, carbohydrates are digested and absorbed faster in the human body, and after decomposition, they end up supplying energy to the body in the form of sugar, while each gram of sugar provides 4 calories of energy. The excess sugar is eventually converted into fat. Excessive intake of carbohydrates can also make people fat and cause metabolic problems. Brain workers need to eat more meat? Brain workers should eat more meat? The reason is that brain work consumes more energy and requires more proteins, fats and micronutrients. The most important source of energy for brain work is blood sugar, not protein and fat. And different occupations or even the same person in different states need calories and protein are different, too much protein supply, will increase the metabolic burden of the liver and kidneys. However, brain workers can moderately supplement unsaturated fatty acids and some trace elements. Unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA and linolenic acid can maintain cell proliferation and repair ability, reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides, improve brain cell activity, and enhance memory and thinking ability. Since the human body cannot synthesize unsaturated fatty acids on its own, it needs to be ingested through food. Foods containing unsaturated fatty acids include deep-sea fish, nuts such as sunflower seeds, olives, avocados, hazelnuts, walnuts and almonds, mushrooms such as shiitake, shiitake and monkey head mushrooms, and legumes such as soybeans, adzuki beans, mung beans, fava beans, peas and kidney beans.
