Amazing Secrets to Tone Down Burnout Through Food
Dealing with burnout can be a challenge that can impact your productivity. Regency for Expats nutritionists reveal how to manage burnout through food and live a happier life.
For most people, work is one of the
most common causes of burnout, along with personal problems. The tasks and
responsibilities slowly pile up and stress begins to creep in. Over time, the
accumulated stress can lead to burnout which causes physical and mental
problems, and bigger implications if not caught early. One of the easiest and
most viable ways to alleviate burnout symptoms comes from simply eating
nutritious foods.
Regency for Expats hires professional nutritionists to help and guide its members
towards a healthier lifestyle. Virtual consultations are offered to members to
accommodate their needs wherever they are situated.
Loss of appetite, fatigue, a
weakened immune system, and body aches, to name a few of the many physical
symptoms of burnout. The psychological effects of burnout show up in the form
of anxiety, withdrawal from society, lack of interest in completing tasks or
taking on responsibilities. It's normal to experience burnout a few times in
your life. That's why Regency’s experts have revealed their amazing secrets on
how to manage burnout through food.
Mindful eating
To eat food
without appreciating its existence is a waste. Food is perfectly made and meant
to be appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. Mindful eating does not mean you
have to be deliberate and extra careful about what you eat. Instead, you need
to appreciate the food that is served to you and eat it slowly. This gives your
digestive system enough time to process the food. Also, you will not feel
overwhelmed and will be able to complete tasks better. Stressful, mindful
eating can slowly help your mind get back on track and help you complete tasks
better.
Know your diet
Establishing a diet can help you
maintain a routine. Cooking at home instead of relying on take-out food can
help you rethink and put together your meals from scratch. When you know what
you are cooking, you can be aware of what you have in your diet. After eating
the meal you just made, your brain releases the hormone dopamine, which makes
you feel satisfied and proud of what you have created. It is best to consult a
nutritionist who can advise you and help you create a diet plan that fits your
lifestyle.
Learn about complex carbs
Eating oats, grains, vegetables,
fruits and beans are just a few of the many complex carbohydrates that release
serotonin. This hormone helps relieve stress so you can still eat good, healthy
foods. Incorporating complex carbohydrates into your diet can help you stress
less and have a more productive day. Regency for Expats' hires professional
nutritionists to help its members learn different types of carbohydrates that
fit their lifestyle and diet.
Outsmart your taste buds
There are times when you crave
something unhealthy. Tricking your taste buds is one way to feel satisfied,
even when you are eating something your taste buds think they like. Always have
a healthy snack with you to satisfy random cravings. A pack of almonds, carrot
sticks, or dried fruit are good snacks to trick your taste buds.
Satisfy your Cravings Without Compromising Your Health
Living an active lifestyle, being
conscious of your diet, knowing your caloric intake, and getting enough sleep
are just a few of the many ways to satisfy your cravings without compromising
your health. This is a "cheat sheet" to help you eat what you like and
mitigate food burnout.
Recognise what your body is asking
Stress
triggers hunger. To manage this, it can be helpful to recognize what our bodies
want and how we respond to stress. Too much stress leads to burnout, and
burnout can affect many of our daily activities. Recognising if we are hungry
or bored can help change our eating patterns and be more mindful of how we
react to stress.
