Do not consume too much fat
Women should control their total calorie intake and reduce fat consumption by eating less fried food to prevent overweight and obesity. Excessive fat intake can easily lead to an increase in lipid peroxides, reducing physical endurance and affecting work efficiency.
Do not reduce vitamin intake
Vitamins are essential components for maintaining physiological functions, especially B vitamins like B1 and B6, which are related to brain and nerve metabolism. These vitamins are abundant in brown rice, whole wheat, and alfalfa. Additionally, antioxidant nutrients such as carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E help improve work efficiency and are particularly rich in various fresh vegetables and fruits. Due to their busy modern work lives, women often overlook vitamins in their diet. Therefore, it is advisable to use some vitamin supplements to ensure a balanced vitamin level.
Do not neglect the supply of minerals
During menstruation, women lose not only red blood cells but also many minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc. Therefore, during and after menstruation, women should increase their intake of calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron to enhance the efficiency of mental work. They can drink more milk, soy milk, or豆浆 (soy milk).
Do not neglect the supply of amino acids
Many modern women are engaged in mental work, so the supply of amino acids that nourish the brain and nerves must be sufficient. Among the free amino acids in brain tissue, glutamic acid is the highest, followed by taurine, and then aspartic acid. Beans and sesame seeds are rich in glutamic acid and aspartic acid and should be consumed appropriately.
