Notes
It’s best to make every wrap fresh, as the tortillas can only be rolled well when warm.
Interesting facts against the afternoon tiredness
Usually 2 hours after the lunch break comes the afternoon tiredness. No trace of productivity any more. Here: Our tried-and-tested tips against the afternoon lack of concentration.
Easily digestible lunch
Hearty food, such as roast pork with dumplings and sauce will make you tired quickly. The reason for this is that the body in heavy foods needs a lot of energy for digestion and then it lacks in the brain. We briefly remember the biology class: The thing with the vegetative nervous system. You should therefore prefer vegetables, fruits, nuts, lean meat or fish, potatoes, pasta, rice and low-fat dairy products.
No sweets
Sweets does appear to help against lack of concentration, because energy is donated quickly. But this condition does not last long, because the blood sugar level just as quickly sags again and the next low is inevitable. Therefore prefer to grab a nut-fruit mix. The contained vitamin B increases the concentration and fructose as well as carbohydrates increase the mental performance. The omega-3 fatty acids contained in the nuts also have a strengthening effect on the brain. But please do not exaggerate. Nutrition experts recommend eating around 50 grams of nut-fruit mix per day, because nuts also have a lot of calories.
Drink coffee
New studies show that coffee improves attention and logical thinking and shortens reaction time. But how much coffee everyone tolerates should be tested in self-experiment. Three cups a day is so on average.
Drink a lot
Healthy adults should consume two to three litres of liquid per day. A good guideline is 35 milliliters per kilogram of body weight. But not everything has to be drunk. The body itself produces around 300 milliliters in its metabolic processes and it receives about one liter of water from solid food. For example, apples, vegetables and potatoes contain about 70 percent water, cucumbers as much as 95 percent. The remaining amount of liquid, about 1.5 liters, you have to take on drinks.
Lunch Walk
After the meal you should rest, or do 1000 steps. As it is rarely possible to rest in the workplace, the half-hour walk after lunch is the method of choice to increase motivation and concentration. We fortunately have the Munich South Cemetery nearby. There is no more meditative place to do our rounds.
Relaxation exercises
Especially on days when we spend a lot of time on the computer, a few exercises help us relax our muscles and boost our brains with oxygen. Lower the head so that the chin almost touches the breastbone, pushing the shoulders backwards and downwards. Move the head in a circle – change direction. Jumping through the studio with swinging arms and hips.
