Caffeine

Caffeine, although a stimulant, can cause nervousness and anxiety in large doses. Regular use of caffeine can also lead to addiction and degradation of the effect.

It's better to substitute coffee with green tea or decaffeinated herbal drinks, which can also provide energy without the negative side effects.

Simple carbohydrates

Foods rich in simple carbohydrates, such as sweets and white flour, can cause sharp fluctuations in blood sugar levels, leading to feelings of fatigue and irritability.

They can be replaced with complex carbohydrates, the most popular products include:

1. Cereals.
2. Vegetables.
3. Fruits and others.

They provide more stable energy levels.

Processed products

Processed foods often contain large amounts of sugar, salt, and additives that can negatively affect your health and mood. They are extremely harmful to the body, and many people don’t even realize it.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol can cause depression and impair sleep quality, leading to fatigue and irritability the next day. Alcohol only creates a false sense of relaxation, but its negative effects are too significant.

Red meat

Red meat contains saturated fats, which can increase cholesterol levels and lead to feelings of heaviness and fatigue. Great alternatives to red meat include:

  • bird;
  • fish;
  • beans and others.

They are absorbed by the body faster and bring more real benefits.
