Most employees go through the 2 O’clock slump, but are there snacks that could prevent this slump?
Anyone who’s ever sat in an office for even a single day of their life knows about the 2 O’clock slump. You realize you’re tired, and your lunch break is over, but 5’o clock is still very far away, and a nap just sounds so good right about now. We’ve all been there. Luckily for all business owners, there are a few snacks that can power the brain to avoid this mental slump. If you want to treat your employees to a free energy boost so their productivity doesn’t take a nosedive, make sure that you purchase one or all of these brain power snacks.
Our best advice is to avoid high processed carb foods and go with ones that are packed with protein and (healthy) fat. The longer their body’s metabolism is active, the longer their brains will remain active.
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pecans, and pistachios all contain omega-3s, a fatty nutrient that fuels brains really well. It digests slowly, which keeps their engines going for the long haul.
Greek Yogurt: Yogurt is another good healthy fat that keeps you satisfied past 2:00 p.m. Adding some berries with yogurt adds fibrous carbs, which the body takes a while to digest, and keeps the metabolism going throughout the day.
Avocado: Like nuts, avocado contains a lot of fatty nutrients–all of which the brain uses to fuel its high processing power. Additionally, avocado is just plain delicious so why not purchase these for your hard working employees?
