Due to the greater intensity of mental labor than physical labor, most mental workers are weak in physique and prone to neurasthenia syndrome. Therefore, considering health and longevity to improve work efficiency, mental workers should not only pay attention to scientific brain use, but also pay attention to reasonable nutrition and correct food selection. With the development of society, the intense pace of life and high intensity of work pressure have caused many mental workers to feel exhausted, memory loss, and work efficiency decline.
Recent research results have shown that ignoring dietary nutrition can accelerate the occurrence of premature aging. A balanced diet, especially the nutrition of certain vitamins and minerals, is closely related to nervous system function.
Trace elements such as iron, iodine, and zinc are closely related to brain development. Iron deficiency can distract children's attention and lower their IQ; Iron deficiency in adults also affects brain function. But too much iron can also cause damage to the brain. Zinc has a protective effect on oxidative damage to cell membranes and can prevent aluminum deposition in the brain, which is beneficial for preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Vitamin A deficiency can affect visual function, impaired dark adaptation, and abnormal electroretinogram. Mental workers often read for long periods of time or face computer screens all day, and they need to ingest sufficient vitamin A to maintain good eyesight. Chinese doctors supplement more than 200 subjects with a compound formulation of vitamin A, E, and vitamin C for 6-9 months, which can help eliminate fatigue, improve memory, improve vision, and increase cerebral blood flow.
Research at home and abroad has pointed out that various B vitamins are related to brain strengthening and intellectual enhancement. The process of glucose supplying energy to the brain depends on the involvement of vitamin B1. Taking refined white rice noodles as a staple food while non staple foods are excessively monotonous may lead to vitamin B1 deficiency and neurological symptoms.
Plasma vitamin B1 levels in patients with Alzheimer's disease are also lower than in the general population. Choline and lecithin can provide precursors of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Choline deficiency can cause nerve conduction disorders, which can affect intelligence. When vitamin B12 and folic acid are deficient, their concentration in plasma decreases, resulting in an increase in the content of homocysteine in the blood, which has a toxic effect on the nervous system. It has been reported that vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency can lead to impaired learning and memory.
In short, mental workers need an adequate supply of nutrients to maintain clear thinking and good memory. Usually, attention should be paid to food diversification and reasonable collocation. If you are busy and prefer fast food, you should properly supplement vitamin and mineral preparations to avoid certain nutritional deficiencies.
Try to choose a scientifically balanced formula that contains comprehensive antioxidants and has no gastrointestinal discomfort. Taking safe products provides comprehensive and easy nutritional care for mental workers.
