Focus and health: a nutritionist explains which foods are an ally for the home office

Maintaining focus on work and/or study is not always an easy task, especially in home office times. Cell phones, ambient noise, and home dynamics can easily steal your attention. In this context, dietician Edvania Soares, partner at Natural One, says food can be a great ally, as long as the right foods are chosen.

“When we think about focus, we have to think of three amino acids: theanine, taurine and tryptophan, to give focus and focus, but also more energy,” he points out.

The specialist explains that with the home office, professionals end up working longer and, in many cases, increasing the level of cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress, in many cases.

“To reduce the stress hormone, it is important to increase the consumption of foods such as berries, such as raspberries. In addition, avocado, mungu and chamomile tea also bring a sense of relaxation.”

To increase focus and focus, a dietitian says that bananas, oilseeds, chickpeas, and beans contain tryptophan and theanine and that’s why they can help with attention.
