Transfer them to dinner.
You may have noticed that even after a refreshing morning shower and a hearty Breakfast, you still have enough strength and energy for a productive day. Rethink your diet. It is likely that the problem lies in those products which you choose.
Presence in the morning or afternoon menu of a number of the wrong products leads to the fact that you are constantly feeling tired and sleepy. But do not hurry to completely abandon your favorite foods, and simply transfer them to dinner. Although the first item on our list may be excluded from your daily diet.
Fast carbs
How would European nor looked fresh fragrant pastries for Breakfast plus a Cup of strong coffee, this morning meal will give you needed energy for a productive day. After the sudden blast of sugar in the blood, which contribute to the rapid carbohydrates, you will feel fatigue and sleepiness. Thus, we suggest to completely eliminate white bread and sweet pastries from the morning ration.
Coffee
Since we mentioned the coffee, I want to warn you that this drink is very subtle. It is really invigorating, but only in small amounts. Drinking a couple cups a day, you will feel inflow of vivacity and forces, but excess will lead to the opposite effect. And after every Cup of coffee you will be stronger to get sleepy.
Cherries
Ahead of the season of berries, which means that we will use every opportunity to help themselves to strawberries, cherries and raspberries. But do not rush to choose cherries as a daily snack. The fact that these berries are natural sources of melatonin — the hormone that regulates sleep, and even cherry juice recommended for people suffering from insomnia.
If you don’t want to sleep at the workplace, then give preference to the blueberries. This berry will be an excellent source of additional energy in the midst of an eventful day, but a handful of cherries to eat better before bed to sleep better.
Soy products
Lunch in a Japanese restaurant — not the best idea, especially if you have a lot to do. Traditional miso soup or salad with tofu is more suitable for a quiet dinner. This is due to the fact that soy foods are rich in different amino acids, including tryptophan — an amino acid involved in the synthesis of melatonin, which we mentioned earlier.
Meat and chicken
But not only soy products are rich in tryptophan. The level of this amino acid is quite high and in the meat. Especially a lot of it in the Turkey, rabbit and chicken, so leave all meat dishes for evening meal and for lunch choose fish, such as mackerel or river perch.
Almonds
We often choose nuts as a healthy snack, and this is no coincidence. They are rich, but it does not cause a feeling of heaviness, especially if limited to a small handful. However, try not to eat the day of the almond, as it contains quite a lot of magnesium. This trace mineral helps to relax the muscles, which means you will be hard enough to continue the day in active mode.
Bananas
This fruit as well as almonds are rich in magnesium. Just one banana a day can affect your energy. Especially frequent mistake is to have a banana before a workout, since magnesium acting muscle relaxant will not allow you to productively workout.
Milk and dairy products
In conclusion, we want to mention another category of products, leading to sleepiness. We are talking about milk and dairy products, which many people prefer to eat for Breakfast.
If you carefully read our review, you already know that this amino acid, like tryptophan, stimulates production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Now, in dairy products it is also present and eating cheese or yogurt in the morning, you risk being sluggish and tired until the afternoon.
