Healthy Eating for the Spring Festival, Away from Sub-health.

With the arrival of the New Year, many people are experiencing "year-end fatigue syndrome" due to reasons such as rich meals, social gatherings, and staying up late. Symptoms include fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, body aches, drowsiness during the day, and poor sleep at night. This is a typical sign of sub-health. To recover from year-end fatigue, you need a golden combo of vitamins and calcium to help you drive away fatigue and keep your body from feeling "too tired to love" during the holidays.

Drive away eye fatigue: Supplement with Vitamin A and Carotene

During the Spring Festival holiday, people who have been busy all year want to have as much fun as possible. Binge-watching TV shows, playing video games, and playing mahjong day and night... after a while, you may start to feel eye fatigue and dryness. Experts suggest that you can supplement with Vitamin A at this time. Vitamin A can effectively maintain vision, help the eyes adapt to changes in light intensity, reduce the risk of night blindness and vision loss, maintain normal visual response, and help treat various eye diseases.

Vitamin A can only be obtained from food. You can get it directly from animal liver, eggs, cream, and cod liver oil, or you can get it from carotene by consuming vegetables that contain it.

Expert-recommended foods: For non-vegetarian options, liver, eggs, cream, and cod liver oil. For vegetables, you can choose spinach, carrots, chives, rape, and sweet potatoes.

Recharge your body: Don't forget Vitamin B complex

The sudden irregular lifestyle during the holiday can easily disrupt the body's biological clock, leading to a loss of appetite and weakened digestive function. Staying up all night excessively consumes B vitamins. Therefore, try to schedule these recreational activities during the day and maintain a regular holiday routine.

If you can't avoid staying up late, you can supplement with foods rich in B vitamins before and after to help fight fatigue. This is because B vitamins are involved in human metabolism and energy release, protect nerve tissue, help calm the nerves, and relieve anxiety and tension. A lack of B vitamins can affect the metabolism of carbohydrates, which are mainly responsible for the body's energy supply. If energy supply is insufficient, the body will naturally feel tired more easily.

Expert-recommended foods: Whole grains, yeast, dairy products, beans, lean meat. You can also carry some nuts with you at work to replenish energy.

Improve muscle endurance: Supplement with Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables

After physical exertion, the reason people feel muscle fatigue is that muscle movement consumes a lot of energy, breaking down not only sugars but also fats and proteins, while also producing a significant amount of lactic acid. After a short period of rest, if you drink an appropriate amount of water and eat some fruit during this time, it can help expel lactic acid from the body and relieve fatigue.

Vitamin C has good anti-fatigue effects. If the body lacks Vitamin C, symptoms such as weight loss, limb weakness, and muscle and joint pain may occur. Therefore, workers with high physical demands must pay attention to regularly supplementing with fresh vegetables and fruits.

Expert-recommended foods: Fruits rich in Vitamin C, such as citrus, kiwi, sea buckthorn, and strawberries.
