There is a difference between the two. Fatigue is a sense of laziness that can't be eliminated no matter how long you sleep. When a healthy person feels groggy during the day, it is either because of lack of sleep or because of poor sleep quality. Considering these differences, the following suggestions will help you eliminate fatigue.

First, have a good sleep.

Most adults need to sleep for 6 to 8 hours every night. Ironically, some people sleep too much and think that the more the better. As a result, they sleep over and over again, which means that the quality of sleep is poor.

How to determine the sleep time? Expert advice: sleep at normal time in the first week; Postpone sleeping in the second week 1 hour; In the third week, go to bed earlier than usual 1 hour. Three weeks later, think about which week you can fall asleep within 5 ~ 30 minutes before going to bed, and wake up with a fresh mind. When you wake up, you will naturally rather than be awakened. This week's sleep time is best for you.

Among hundreds of body rhythms that reflect our feelings, one is the sleep-wake cycle. In addition, the release of cortisone is also related to sleep. The cortisone level decreased before going to bed; It rose to normal before waking up. If you change your sleep habits, such as working at night or traveling to another area, you will be unable to sleep because of the chaos of sleep-wake cycle and cortisone release, and you will feel sleepy when you wake up. This situation will take several days to correct.

Second, arrange the diet reasonably.

Eating too much at lunch can lead to fatigue. Because too much food transfers blood and oxygen from the brain to the digestive tract. In this way, the head will be dizzy.

High-fat food and refined sugar are the two main culprits. It takes longer for fat to be converted into energy than other nutrients, while refined sugar will cause insulin to suddenly peak, and then blood sugar will drop sharply. If this peak state and trough state continue to circulate, headaches and fatigue will occur. In order to solve this problem, we can eat complex carbohydrates (such as whole wheat bread) and unrefined sugar (such as fruit) instead.

Eating full at lunch will make you sleepy, but eating full at night will be counterproductive. It will keep your digestive system working continuously and make it difficult for you to fall asleep.

Third, get enough vitamins and iron.

At present, the role of science in vitamins is not completely clear, but the lack of vitamins does affect the fatigue of human body. Water-soluble vitamins C and B are most easily lost from the body and need to be supplemented. Women of childbearing age should also pay attention to iron supplementation.

The more vitamins, the better. Too many vitamins can cause poisoning, such as too many vitamins A and D, which the body can't excrete. Therefore, taking vitamins must follow the doctor's advice.

Fourth, look for the potential causes of fatigue.

Caffeine Your body will depend on caffeine, and when you miss your hobby, you will feel tired.

Smoking will reduce the body's oxygen consumption and vitamin C levels, so it will weaken people's energy.

Drugs such as antihistamines and drugs to control high blood pressure and heart disease can cause drowsiness. Ask about its side effects first every time you take medicine.

Fifth, take active exercise.

Why do most people feel lazy at noon? One reason is that the lowest point of the sleep-wake cycle is at noon. At this time, just go out for a breath of fresh air and walk around. Exercise speeds up the flow of oxygen in the body and mind, thus speeding up the circulation and making people active. It is good to do light to moderate intensity exercise for 20 to 40 minutes every day. It also helps you stay awake at noon.

Some people think that fatigue is beneficial, just like batteries need to be recharged. According to the scientific point of view, fatigue is a sign of the repair of some organs of the body and the only way for the body to recover. So the best way to get tired is to have a rest and let your body take care of its own affairs. 1, have some iced coffee

Strong sunlight will harm the skin. Drinking iced coffee not only feels super cool, but also the caffeine in it can protect the skin from ultraviolet rays and reduce the risk of DNA damage and skin cancer. Dr. David Groto, an American nutrition expert, suggested that it is best to add a small piece of dark chocolate to coffee, which can enhance the vascular function by 65,438+0.29%.

Step 2 eat beef moderately

People who like meat are happier. If they eat 2-3 ounces of beef every day, they can also provide omega-3 fatty acids beneficial to heart and brain health and zinc, a mineral that strengthens bones. But if you eat barbecue, it is best to roast the meat in the microwave oven until it is half cooked, and then roast it with charcoal fire, which can reduce carcinogens.

3. Enjoy drinking sparkling wine

Many fruity sparkling wines on the market not only taste good and are suitable for drinking in summer, but also are brewed with red wine and fruit juice. Red wine contains resveratrol, and fruit juice is rich in antioxidants, which can promote cardiovascular health.

Step 4 watch lively movies

Laughter helps to lower the level of cortisol, a harmful stress hormone in the blood. Studies have shown that movies that can make people laugh constantly can relax and expand blood vessels in 15 minutes, thus preventing the occurrence of heart disease.

Step 5 doze off at noon

Churchill, Kennedy and Einstein all like taking a nap. Frequent siesta can not only enhance memory and learning ability, but also reduce the death rate of heart disease by 34%.

6. Go shopping if you have nothing to do

Shopping is a good aerobic exercise, which can not only exercise leg strength, but also help burn calories. American studies have found that walking for three hours a week can make brain cells more active.

7. Make love often.

People who have frequent sexual life not only have better sleep, less pain and stronger immunity, but also have lower blood pressure than those who have less sexual life, and their risk of heart disease is reduced by half. Office workers often sit for hours or more at a time, which makes them often in a state of fatigue. Clinical studies have found that if a person is in a state of fatigue for a long time, his circulatory system, digestive system and motor system will be affected. In the long run, diseases will come uninvited.

So, how do "office workers" get rid of fatigue? To this end, experts taught us a set of secrets. People who often sit in the office can recover from fatigue in time as long as they exercise and live in the following ways.

1. Spiral twist: legs are straight, and the right leg crosses the left leg while keeping the right leg straight; Twist your upper body to your right hand, and your left elbow is close to your right knee. At this time, you will feel that the muscles at the waist are being twisted. This action will help you get rid of the trouble of backache. It is suggested that each side should hold 10 second, and each group should repeat three times.

2. Butterfly stretch: Sit down, put your feet together, hold your toes with your hands, let your upper body lean forward slowly, bend from your hips, and use your elbows to leg press down to pull the muscles inside your thighs. This action can fully relieve leg pain and exercise muscles. It is recommended to keep it for 8 seconds and repeat it twice.

3. Stretch your legs horizontally: After preparing for the prone position, lift your legs and hold the opposite side of your knees with your hands; Force your arm and feel your whole body lift up until the leg ligament is fully stretched to the maximum position. This action can stretch the thigh ligament that we don't often participate in sports. It is recommended to keep 10 second and repeat for 4 times.

4. Shoulder pull: Stand up straight, grab the elbow of the opposite arm from the outside and back with one hand and pull it to the opposite side of the grabbed arm. This action can relieve the pain of deltoid and triceps, and also improve the muscle tension of the neck. It is recommended to keep 10 second and repeat for 3 times.

5. Chest stretching: fully contact the fixed points such as door frames with your hands and upper arms, keep your elbows and shoulders on the same level, do not pull your body forward too much, and fully tighten your chest. It is advisable to have no abnormal tension in the shoulders. This action can stretch the chest muscles and quickly eliminate lactic acid from the chest muscles. It is recommended to keep 12 second and repeat for 3 times. Tired people should pay attention to the following points:

1, keep a good habit of work and rest, and try to avoid staying up late.

2. Eat less spicy or irritating food.

3. Take an active part in outdoor sports and relax.

4. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and learn to decompress reasonably.
