The best foods to eat before driving

Introduction: If you drive for a long time, you will inevitably experience discomfort symptoms such as fatigue and drowsiness, and food nutrition can help effectively alleviate them. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners eat the following foods before driving.

Vitamin-rich foods

For example, tomatoes, watermelons, cucumbers, beans and their products, animal liver and kidneys, dried shrimps, eggplants, grapes, pears, citrus fruits, etc. can help overcome fatigue. As auxiliary substances, vitamins can help the liver to process the metabolic products stored in the human body as quickly as possible. Fruits and vegetables are very rich in vitamins.

Alkaline Foods

Fatigue is related to acidic body fluids. Eating more alkaline foods such as apples, kelp and fresh vegetables can neutralize the acidic substances produced when muscles are tired and help eliminate fatigue.

Some caffeine-rich foods

Such as tea, coffee and chocolate. Caffeine can increase the frequency and depth of breathing, promote the secretion of adrenaline, excite the nervous system, and eliminate fatigue.

Vitamin A

People who drive for long periods of time need to supplement their diet with rich vitamin A. They can take ready-made vitamin A capsules, or they can eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as liver paste, liver paste, and carrots, to replenish the consumption of long-term eye use and relieve physical fatigue.

Of course, in addition to concentrating on driving and not drinking and driving, there are also some foods that we cannot eat!

milk

Milk contains tryptophan, a biochemical substance that makes people feel tired, so it should not be consumed in excess.

Lettuce

The stem juice of lettuce contains a milky fluid that has a hypnotic effect.

Greasy food such as hamburgers and barbecue

The grease from the hamburger, the ketchup and the chili oil on top will stain your hands and clothes, and the steering wheel will certainly not be spared.

Jujube

Jujubes contain two types of plant sterols and saponins, which have sedative and hypnotic effects.

Huoxiang Zhengqi Water

The auxiliary materials for making Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid are dried ginger and ethanol. The ethanol content in it is as high as 40%~50%. This component will be blown out during the test. It is recommended that drivers who really need it take Huoxiang Zhengqi Capsules or Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills.

Food and medicine related to alcohol

"Alcohol-related" foods include: fruit beer (with hops in the ingredients), drunken crabs (snails, shrimps), beer duck, fermented rice dumplings, fermented chicken (meat), egg yolk pie, chocolate with liquor filling, etc.

“Alcohol-related” drugs: injections containing ethanol.

Allergy medicine

Antiallergic drugs such as diphenhydramine, promethazine (phenergan), chlorpheniramine, clidinium, and cyproheptadine are mainly used to treat various allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma, urticaria, angioedema, etc. Because it can relieve cold symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose, it is also used to treat colds. Currently on the market anti-cold medicines, such as Riye Baifuning, Kainuo, Chongganling, Xinkangtek, etc., all contain the ingredient promethazine. After taking it, symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, tremors, tinnitus and hallucinations may occur, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

In modern life, although more and more people own cars in recent years, people choose to drive themselves. Friends who often drive for long periods of time should not only pay attention to physical exercise and ensure sleep, but also adjust their diet and eat more foods that prevent fatigue.
