In this case, "lemon" is the key word. Decline in strength, fatigue, sleepiness during the day and sleeplessness at night, decreased performance, apathy, absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, headache, heaviness in the soul, irritability, depressive thoughts - all these unpleasant symptoms are associated with nutritional errors. And with the development on the background of this acidosis - a general "sour" body.
Sour "old age"
And it's not just the seasonal shortage of vitamins and minerals, as is commonly thought. In the cold season, we eat less alkaline internal plant food. But we actively consume products of animal origin, as well as flour and pasta, which make the body sour. At the biochemical level, excess acid is equivalent to a sudden onset of old age (it does lead to age-related changes). That's in and there are relevant feelings - total depression and a full energy decline. The problem is only exacerbated if you consume enough fluids (less than 2.5 liters) or by gaining extra pounds over the winter, with the arrival of spring, take a strict diet. Dehydration and starvation lead to even more souring. With the right, healthy diet for every day, it is very important to observe such measures as:
Do not overeat;
- Know the sense of proportion in eating;
- treat the use of food as if you are eating it in order to replenish your own energy reserves, and not for the fact that you decided to eat.
In addition to the feeling of persistent fatigue, dull hair, pale appearance, extinct eyes, red and cloudy (sometimes with unhealthy yellow), the glitter of the whites of the eyes testify to it. You always think that you are just about to get a good look, especially since the right nostril has already been laid. This, by the way, is a characteristic sign of acidosis, described in ancient Ayurveda. To restore the acid-base balance and to experience, finally, a surge of energy, adjust the diet.
Safety precautions
Eat only lean meat in a moderate amount for food (up to 200 g) and not more than 3 times a week. Forget about sour borsch, boiled broths (meat, fish and especially mushrooms), marinades, sharp vegetable snacks.
Limit carbohydrate food in the diet - in the process of its assimilation a record amount of acid is formed. This refers to bread, pastries, sweets, porridges (except oat and buckwheat), pasta, potatoes. This food also leads to a deficiency of B vitamins, exacerbating the manifestations of spring fatigue.
Refuse while eating from carbonated drinks (the bubbles of the carbon dioxide contained in it turn into your stomach into carbon dioxide) and products containing alcohol (when it is neutralized, too much acid is produced). Before using them, ask the date of production!
To prevent dehydration of tissues, which develops simultaneously with acidosis, alkaline mineral water - Luzhanskaya, Shodnitskaya soda, Essentuki-4, Borjomi - will help.
Brew strong green or herbal tea. The more it will be bitter, the higher the content of alkaline substances in it.
Human nutrition - the replenishment of energy lost for the whole day or during the whole day. Well, if you are leading a sedentary lifestyle, remember that the energy in you is large, you have enough of it and even to not eat all day. So learn this basic rule and know that food is energy, and not a favorite hobby "to go to the refrigerator".
