Food affects the chemistry of our
brain. If we eat the right foods at the right time of day, such positive
pattern can have a positive effect on our mental
alertness. Meals that are rich in starch can improve ones physical
endurance. Note though, such meals can also have a calming, sedative effect on
the brain. Hence the reason at times we feel sleepy after a pasta or potato
lunch. If YOU were to have carbohydrate foods in the evening, it will help you
relax, as well as, giving you a good night’s sleep.
How are you doing with your stimulants and where are they found?
Caffeine is a stimulant, which you
will find in: coffee, tea, and cola drinks. Although, coffee has excited a lot of controversy,
yet, one cup of it can improve a person’s alertness without doing any harm, so
it is claimed. The danger is, though, if you drink a cup on an hourly basis to keep
you going, you risk having: fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and shaking.
How does one cut down on caffeine though?
1. Space out your cups of coffee
for longer and much longer intervals.
2. Do NOT suddenly give it up
entirely; and if you do, you will have withdrawal symptoms.
Some examples of withdrawal symptoms:
Headaches
Nausea
Irritability and
Mood swings.
