    The Importance of Diet in Improving our Productivity
    Smoothies that include fruit, fibre (try berries, flax, chia, and prebiotics like acacia or psyllium husk), a little amount of plant-based protein, some greens (or greens powder), and one or two spices (I love cinnamon for blood-sugar stability).
     
    Digital
    Desk: More than any other organ, our brain requires around 20% of the energy we
    receive from food in order to function. This indicates that "it needs
    food," as New York-based dietitian Rachelle Robinett is quick to point
    out. But what specific foods may you eat to improve your cognitive function?
    Can our diet actually increase our productivity?

    As the creator of
    Pharmakon Supernatural and a herbalist, Robinett's work focuses on providing
    useful, plant-based remedies for leading a healthy lifestyle. She offers her
    perspective on how food, herbs, and supplements might assist to enhance brain
    function and enable us to work more productively than ever below.

     
    Ø  The function of the brain improves with better
    diet. Focus depends on having stable blood sugar levels because spikes and
    crashes can make you jittery, anxious, foggy-headed, distracted, and sleepy.

     
    Ø  I also enjoy explaining how neurochemicals,
    such as serotonin and dopamine, affect focus and other seemingly unrelated
    phenomena, such as desires for carbohydrates. For instance, serotonin, which is
    released when we eat gratifying or high-carbohydrate foods, is frequently the
    source of our desires for sugar.
     There are many methods like that, including
    supplementing with tryptophan, to meet that demand without eating a cookie.
    Dopamine is a critical factor in focus, as is known from flow-state research
    that links the neurotransmitter to clarity, creativity, and the productivity
    groove.

     
    Ø  Overall, nutrient-dense foods with a balance
    of slow carbohydrates, high-quality fats (particularly omega fatty acids from
    fish or algae), and a trace amount of protein are the healthiest foods for our
    brains. I support eating primarily plant-based foods and avoiding processed and
    refined foods to the greatest extent possible.

     
    Ø  It's also crucial to remember gut health. The
    relationship between our digestive health and cognitive function is known as
    the "gut-brain axis," and it is extremely genuine.

     
    Ø  Smoothies that include fruit, fibre (try
    berries, flax, chia, and prebiotics like acacia or psyllium husk), a little
    amount of plant-based protein, some greens (or greens powder), and one or two
    spices (I love cinnamon for blood-sugar stability).

     
    Ø  Omega oil or fish supplements of the highest
    calibre.

     
    Ø  All the vegetables and fruit. Half our body
    weight in ounces of water per day, minimum.

    Ø  If you can't digest flour properly, it can
    sabotage your productivity and a lot    of other health goals. This includes
    gluten-free flour. Think about substituting it  with any raw plant-based option,
    and be prepared for transformation dependi ing on how much of your life it
    currently occupies.
     
    Ø  Our brains are seriously harmed by excessive
    amounts of sugar, coffee, alcohol, and other inflammatory foods and beverages.
    Additionally, there are currently solid studies connecting neuro-inflammation
    to mood problems and mental health. (After nutrition, of course, turmeric is
    one of my favourite herbs for balancing this. 

     
    Ø  Meal planning triumphs in this situation. In
    addition to a smoothie (see above), substantial (very hearty) vegetable bowls
    with the choice of a small amount of protein (animal- or plant-based), and a
    variety of delicious snacks, I advise them.

     
    Ø  I personally enjoy to chew as I write,
    therefore I prepare large spreads of loads of crisp, raw fruit and veggies.
    Consider olives, sauerkraut, seaweed snacks, and salty salads if you enjoy
    salt.

     
    Ø  Choose fruit or sweet potatoes, yams, and
    plantains if you want something sweet. If you like chocolate, make a
    superfood-infused herbal mocha out of it and drink it as you work.

     
    Ø  Sleep is crucial, so try to get as much of it
    as you can. If stress is interfering with your work, think about taking a
    combination of herbs and vitamins that promotes adrenal function and HPA-axis
    balance. The majority of these are longer-term commitments that aid in
    gradually restoring the body's normal stress response. I adore this piece
    because it sounds like magic but is actually just nature.
