So, what foods should mental workers supplement? Nutritionists believe that the best food for mental workers should include the following:

Litchi is the most expensive food and longan is the best food. This is Li Shizhen's evaluation of longan and litchi. Longan is rich in nutrition. According to analysis, longan meat is rich in glucose, sucrose, tartaric acid, protein, fat, vitamins A and B, etc. On the other hand, longan is a kind of medicinal food with multiple functions. Chinese medicine believes that longan is warm and sweet, which is beneficial to the heart and spleen, nourishing qi and blood, calming the heart and calming the nerves. This is a tonic medicine. The ancient pharmacy book Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing said, "longan calms the nerves and wakes up." "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that longan "stimulates appetite and strengthens spleen, tonifies deficiency and increases wisdom". Dizziness, insomnia, palpitation and fatigue, and physical weakness after illness or postpartum are the main indications of longan.
2. Soybean and its products
Soybean mainly contains glycinin, which is a kind of protein. Soybean oil is also rich in essential amino acids and phospholipids, with high nutritional value, which can enhance cerebrovascular function, inhibit the accumulation of cholesterol in the body and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Jujube has high nutritional value and is called woody food in China. It can not only regulate staple food, but also be a good product for invigorating qi. Jujube is rich in glucose, sucrose, vitamins C and P, and nutrients such as protein and trace elements. Jujube is an authentic Chinese medicine. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica says, "Jujube cures evil spirits in the heart, calms the middle energizer, nourishes the spleen, helps the twelve meridians, calms the stomach qi, unblocks the nine orifices, tonifies less qi, lowers body fluid, causes insufficient middle energizer, and is a hundred medicines". "Compendium of Materia Medica" also said that "jujube has the functions of moistening the heart and lungs, relieving cough, nourishing the five internal organs, treating body deficiency and eliminating stomach addiction". The famous doctor's "Bielu" clearly pointed out that jujube can "replenish the qi in the box and strengthen the will." In the folk, sweet jujube is not only a commonly used medicine for nourishing the spleen and stomach, blood and liver, but also a health food for beauty beauty.
5. Sesame
Sesame has the peculiar effects of nourishing, strengthening the body and prolonging life. According to the report of a special research group in Japan, xylan extracted from sesame can inhibit the production of cancer cells and peroxide that leads to aging in the body. This is the latest example of sesame fitness anti-aging effect. In fact, as early as the Qing Dynasty, China's "Materia Medica" made a pertinent summary of the unique efficacy of sesame in strengthening the body. Sesame has the functions of tonifying lung, benefiting liver and kidney, moistening five internal organs, filling essence, strengthening bones and muscles, clearing eyes and ears, resisting hunger and thirst, and blackening hair.

It is a good product for weak and sickly patients and neurasthenia syndrome.
7.honey
Honey is sweet and has the effects of nourishing, moistening dryness and detoxifying. Shennong Materia Medica Classic lists it as an excellent product for health preservation.

In addition, it can inhibit the infection of various fungi, bacteria and protozoa, and has the ability of sterilization, anti-inflammation and prevention and treatment of various diseases. In particular, garlic also has a certain anti-cancer effect. Eating onions and garlic often can not only reduce blood fat, blood sugar and blood pressure, but also strengthen the brain. Of course, the intake of onions and garlic should be moderate, but eating too much is harmful.
In addition, what foods should mental workers avoid? Generally speaking, mental workers should avoid eating acidic food. We know that the food people eat every day can be divided into two categories according to its pH value. Foods containing phosphorus, chlorine and sulfur such as rice, flour, fish, meat, eggs, sugar, peanuts and beer are acidic foods, while vegetables, fruits, beans, kelp, milk and tea are alkaline foods. Under normal circumstances, human blood is weakly alkaline (PH 7.35-7.45). Eating too much acidic food will make the blood acidic and cause "acidosis". In this way, it is easy to make people tired, reduce their resistance, and cause constipation, dental caries and rickets, especially mental workers' thinking ability, memory decline and neurasthenia syndrome. Therefore, mental workers should not be partial to acidic foods, but should pay attention to the reasonable collocation of acidic and alkaline foods, and try to supplement some of the aforementioned soybeans and their products, animals, longan, red dates, sesame seeds, walnuts, honey and other foods.
