Whether you are just beginning in the business, grow your company or maintain your brand, there is a vital thing that cannot be dispensed with: energy.
You may have your message, your team correctly configured and customers go into mass to work with you. But if you do not correctly feed your body, it could affect your productivity and health.
How often do you take a quick bite to eat (usually in your desk) and then collapse down, feeling lethargic and needs a nap later? It is a common problem for many founders and can greatly affect the approach. If you are not “feeling”, the tasks slide from the list of pending tasks today and, as we know, tomorrow never arrived. So what should you do?
I am a pharmacist or 30 years and a nutritional therapist or 10. I also execute the practice with confidence, an academy for nutritionist professionals. I focus not only on what we eat, but how we eat and how our productivity affects.
Don’t jump breaks
The way you start the day establishes the tone. Start with a balanced breakfast containing protein, healthy foods and a small complex amount or carbohydrates to keep sugar in stable blood.
A great breakfast can include broken avocado and climbing egg in a small portion of brown fermented dough toast, with some vegetables aside.
If you have little time, pre -pre -a tortilla or quiche to eat for a few days, or try night oats with nuts, seeds and berries added for an antioxidant impulse.
The objective is Mintain the balanced levels of blood sugar. Blood sugar ups and downs can cause great changes in energy and increase cortisol stress hormone. The high cortisol harms memory, concentration and brain processing speed, and can also affect sleep.
That means that, while grabbing a chocolate bar gives an instant elevator, it is quickly followed by an energy accident. And the roller coaster continues. So, if really because that chocolate bar, eate it after a well -balanced meal to minimize the blood sugar peak.
Ten a day to keep the sugar clash at bay
Always point to minimally processed foods. These are richer in vital nutrients than your body needs to work at your best.
Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals for energy, repair and concentration. Point to a complete spectrum or colors daily: it is a natural multivitamin. The objective is 10 portions of fruit and vegetables per day, but even five are greatly beneficial.
Animal products, special eggs, fish, meat and dairy, provide B12, which improves cognition and focus. Vegans can benefit from a B12 supplement.
Healthy fats, particularly omega-3 such as EPA and DHA, improve attention and productivity capacity. These are found in oily fish, olive oil, nuts and seeds. If you do not consume thesis regularly, an Omega-3 supplement (or algae-based algae) may be useful.
Digesta away from the desktop
A healthy diet is only effective if your body can break it down and absorb nutrients. However, modern lifestyles of rapid rhythm often affect digestion.
The digestion is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which has two parts: fight or flight, and rest and digest. If you are in a stressed state (fight or flight), digestion is compromised. This often results in stomach acidity, indigestion and symptoms of type IBS.
Eating a meal agreement on the desktop while responding emails means that your body is not in ‘digestion mode’, which limits nutrient absorption. Bad digestion can lead to low energy, fatigue and cerebral fog, all productivity murderers.
Maximize digestion by moving away from your desk, sitting in a good posture on a dining table and eliminating distractions. Turn off the notifications, slowly chew and give your body the opportunity to digest. Your energy levels will thank you.
Eating conscious, handling stress and choosing adequate foods supports a healthy microbiome, which improves brain function. A better brain function leads to better productivity and success; Exactly what each entrepreneur strives.
