With Christmas festivities and now New Years, you may feel like your feet barely touch the ground. Your mind is constantly thinking about the next task and you forget to relax. Today we are going to give you a few tips on how to keep yourself focused with a positive mind.
B vitamins are important for energy and to support mind function as they help with the formation of many of your positive mind chemicals, thus helping you keep a clear mind, focus on tasks and keep positive. B vitamins are found in a whole range of foods such as green leafy vegetables, avocado, grains and salmon.
Well rested people are happy people
When having trouble sleeping it is a good idea to have foods such as turkey or a banana an hour before bed as these contain the amino acid 5HTP, tryptophan and taurine to help you produce and release sleeping and relaxing hormones.
Make sure that you go to sleep in a dark room without any artificial light. When you are in the dark you naturally produce sleeping chemicals to encourage you to go to sleep. If you can, leave the curtain open so that you gradually wake up in the morning when day breaks.
Don’t forget your friendly bacteria
Your gut bacteria have so many positive roles to help look after you. Your bacteria support the production of B vitamins and help support the digestion of your food to make sure you absorb the nutrients you need. Some bacteria such as one called l.rhamnosis encourage the release of de-stressing brain chemicals to help calm the mind. Therefore, try and have foods that contain prebiotic (fructooligosaccharides) to support gut bacteria growth in the gut.
Relax with a bath
If you can, add Epsom salts as these contain minerals such as magnesium which help relax your muscles at the end of the day. Also aim to have plentiful amounts of magnesium in your diet from sources such as oats, seeds and nuts to reduce the chances of tension headaches.
