If someone asks you, what do you lack in the five elements? What would you say?

I believe that many young people will blurt out: five elements lack sleep, life is sleepy. As the saying goes, there is a kind of “sleepiness”, I can’t wake up. Excluding the disease factor, if you are prone to sleepiness, the probability is that you will sleep poorly or less.

Nowadays, the decline of sleep quality is a very common phenomenon.

You know what? More and more people can’t sleep well

According to the “2020 Xilinmen China sleep index report” (hereinafter referred to as the “report”) data show that Chinese people’s sleep quality presents three characteristics: sleep late, sleep short, sleep shallow. The average sleep time is about 6.92 hours.

According to the report, less than 30% of the young people, represented by the Post-00’s, post-95’s and post-90’s, have deep sleep, and sleep problems are prominent. More than half of the young people stay up late and linger in the long night.

Sleep quality decline, and like to take the initiative to stay up late, naturally listless. It’s not normal to be sleepy during the day, but to be a dog at night. In order not to be sleepy, so as not to be caught by the boss. Some people doze off at every turn of the day, some take a lunch break to make up for their sleep, and some turn into Fengyoujing to become spokesmen

After all these attempts, some people are still so sleepy that they fight. Don’t worry. If you want to refresh yourself, eat them.

Don’t worry if you are sleepy. Eat these three kinds of food to refresh your mind

Betel nut

When it comes to betel nut, you are probably not unfamiliar with it. People in Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan and Taiwan have been eating betel nuts since ancient times.

Why eat betel nut to be able to refresh? Because there are many nitrogen-containing basic organic compounds in areca nut, these compounds have certain effects on the nervous system. Get excited. Appropriate consumption of betel nut can make heart rate rise, blood pressure rise, body fever, facial ruddy, slightly sweating and other phenomena, has a certain refreshing effect.

In addition, areca nut can expel insects, inhibit bacteria, promote gastrointestinal digestion, prevent gastric ulcer, antithrombotic and anti atherosclerosis.

In addition, betel nut is one of the four southern medicines in China. The medicinal history of betel nut has been more than 1800 years ago, which was first recorded in the record of medicine written by Li Dang during the Three Kingdoms period. There are records in many ancient medical documents, such as theory of medicinal properties, newly revised Materia Medica, Haiyao bancao and compendium of Materia Medica. Betel nut has the efficacy of killing insects, breaking accumulation, descending Qi and flowing water. It can cure insect accumulation, food stagnation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, malaria, edema, beriberi, phlegm addiction, etc. It is suggested that betel nut should be used under the guidance of TCM experts.

Coffee

Coffee contains caffeine, tannic acid, oil and nitrogen compounds, among which caffeine is the key to refreshing coffee. Caffeine is an alkaloid compound and a central nervous stimulant.

The human body metabolizes adenosine, which combines with adenosine receptor and accumulates enough to make people sleepy and want to rest. Caffeine and adenosine have similar chemical structure. They will compete with adenosine for adenosine receptor, which can cut off the transmission of fatigue signal and achieve the effect of refreshing. Drinking coffee in moderation has a good refreshing effect.

tea

Like coffee, tea is also associated with caffeine. Tea contains a small amount of caffeine, can prevent sleep compound adenosine and adenosine receptor binding, relieve fatigue, refreshing.

The refreshing effect of tea not only depends on caffeine, but also theanine and tea polyphenols. Theanine has antagonistic effect on coffee, alleviates the side effects caused by coffee caffeine, and has synergistic effect on enhancing attention and behavioral response. Tea polyphenols can delay caffeine absorption and reduce its utilization efficiency. Moderate tea can refresh the mind.

Seeing this, we should know what to do after we are sleepy. Of course, it’s an expedient measure to refresh yourself by eating these foods. It’s better to have a good rest instead of cultivating immortals at night.
