There are three kinds of healthy snacks in the office.
Eye protection snacks: Lycium barbarum and blueberry
Lycium barbarum has been called "Hongbao" since ancient times. As a precursor of vitamin A, it is rich in natural pigment β carotene, which can prevent vitamin A deficiency, protect eyes and improve vision. Watching computer, TV and games for a long time will increase the consumption of vitamin A, so we should pay special attention to supplement it. Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, which can protect microvessels and improve blood supply to the eyes.
Snacks to alleviate hunger: whole wheat bread, nuts
Whole wheat bread is a complex carbohydrate, which will not make blood sugar fluctuate rapidly. High fiber will bring satiety and make people less likely to be hungry. Nuts such as peanuts, almonds and walnuts are rich in protein, healthy unsaturated oil and fiber, which can provide satiety and delay gastric emptying. But there is too much fat in nuts, so it is advisable to eat only one tablespoon a day, otherwise it is easy to get fat.
Refreshing snacks: green tea, dark chocolate
Green tea contains theanine, which is an antioxidant, has the function of relaxing the brain and can quickly release people from tension and anxiety. Caffeine, which is rich in green tea, can stimulate the central nervous system of the human body and play a refreshing and intellectual role, but it is not recommended to drink green tea drinks. Studies have shown that dark chocolate can increase the blood supply to the brain, and eating only 9.3 grams of dark chocolate every day can prevent memory loss caused by aging. In addition, dark chocolate can stimulate the brain to release a feel-good chemical-neurotransmitter, which makes people more focused.
