Infobae: Pasta and fruit help maintain energy during mental work
The daily diet of office workers should include fruit, chicken, pasta, and legumes. This was stated by nutritionist Kristen Smith in an interview with Infobae.
The expert noted that complex carbohydrates are an important part of a balanced diet for mental work. They are found in whole grain bread, rice, and pasta.
Complex carbohydrates are long chains of sugar molecules that take longer to break down and be absorbed by the body. They provide a slow and steady supply of energy. Simple carbohydrates, on the other hand, consist of one or two sugar molecules. They are quickly absorbed, leading to glucose spikes and a rapid return of hunger.
"The daily diet should also include several servings of vegetables, two fruits, and lean protein," added the doctor.
According to the expert, good sources of protein are chicken, fish, and legumes. This nutrient can also be obtained from dairy products, with preference given to white yogurt without colorants and low-fat cheese.
