Spring fatigue making you not want to get out of bed? A Japanese girl uses an energetic breakfast to chase away spring fatigue

Spring fatigue is not an illness,

but when it hits, it really knocks you out!

It is once again the season when spring fatigue runs rampant.

Although it is not a serious problem,

it can affect work and study.

Imagine dozing off while driving or in a meeting -

what would happen?

Spring fatigue is a physiological phenomenon.

As temperatures rise, the body's pores, sweat glands and blood vessels begin to dilate,

and skin blood circulation becomes more active,

so the blood supply to the brain relatively decreases, leading to insufficient oxygen supply.

In fact, spring fatigue can be overcome and alleviated.

The Japanese girl Xiaolu wants to share today

often travels between Korea and Japan on business.

She not only has spring fatigue, but also the fatigue of frequently flying,

which would make most people feel exhausted and unable to focus on work.

But she can chase away spring fatigue with one trick:

eating breakfast!

1. Say no to greasy breakfasts, add grains and protein

Carbohydrates are the main source of glucose in the blood,

the most direct,

fastest and cleanest fuel supplier for the brain.

Oatmeal and bread are foods rich in carbohydrates.

After getting up, toasting a slice of bread and making some oatmeal

takes only a few minutes

and can quickly fill the body with energy.

If breakfast only provides carbohydrates without protein,

the glucose concentration in the blood will drop quickly,

which means that before noon, the glucose is already used up.

So you also need to add protein-rich foods such as eggs and meat,

for example eggs and bacon.

Bacon and eggs are best pan-fried without oil.

She also pairs them with vegetables such as carrots, corn and cherry tomatoes,

which is better for nutritional balance.

When there is no time,

coffee, bread and a banana are also a great choice.

The queen of fruits, the strawberry, is rich in vitamin C,

which helps absorb iron,

so cells can take in enough oxygen.

That is why eating more strawberries can help keep people energetic.

You can make a strawberry cake like she does,

or enjoy them on their own with other breakfast foods.

On days of spring fatigue,

say goodbye to our traditional breakfast of youtiao (fried dough sticks),

because high-fat foods can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain,

and the nutrients in flour are destroyed after deep-frying.

Eating too much in the morning makes it easy to feel sleepy and lose concentration during the morning.

2. Change your tableware to create a sense of freshness

In fact, it is not just the food itself;

tableware is equally important.

Using different tableware brings a different mood,

and rotating them makes you look forward to breakfast every day even more.

A minimalist white round plate, paired with a wooden spoon

and a blue coffee cup,

becomes much more colorful and looks very different.

Besides going on a white porcelain plate,

bread also pairs well with a wooden tray.

The golden-brown color of the bread blends with the color of the tray,

giving a calm and peaceful feeling,

while the lemon and silver fork are eye-catching.

A deep ink-wash style plate,

paired with thin pancakes such as dorayaki and desserts,

instead brings out the brilliant colors of the food exceptionally well.

A lace-edged plate with a white base and blue rim,

paired with a spoon with a white handle,

looks like a carefully chosen matching set.

The embossed blue lace edge

and the lacy edge of the fried egg on the plate complement each other.

3. Use an energetic breakfast corner to wake up your brain

Breathing fresh air in spring

and feeling the colors of nature

are the best things for restoring your energy.

If you have no time to go out, just open the window and let the air in.

She always eats her breakfast at the dining table.

The dining table is placed by the window,

so sunlight can shine through the white sheer curtains onto the table,

and air can easily come in.

On both sides of the table corner, she places hydroponic flowers,

taking in the beautiful natural scenery,

which gives her a great visual impact

and helps eliminate drowsiness.

On the wall behind the dining table,

she uses transparent washi tape

to stick up 2 dried flowers and 4 photos.

Whether they are photos of people or scenery,

they are all vibrant spring and summer scenes.

In today's fast-paced life,

many people eat breakfast in a hurry,

or even skip it altogether.

But she makes time every morning

to prepare it carefully and enjoy it with heart.

The meaning of doing this is not limited to a breakfast,

but is a serious attitude toward life.

Moreover, the process of preparing breakfast is also waking up the body.
