I. Do not ignore vitamin intake

Vitamins themselves do not produce energy, but they are important components in maintaining physiological functions, especially those vitamins related to brain and nerve metabolism, such as Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B6. These vitamins are more abundant in brown rice, whole wheat, and alfalfa, so it is not advisable to consume overly refined grains in daily diet.

In addition, antioxidant nutrients like carotene, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E are beneficial for improving work efficiency, and their content is particularly rich in various fresh vegetables and fruits. Due to the busy work schedule of modern women, the vitamin nutrition in the diet is often overlooked, so it might be helpful to use some vitamin supplements to ensure a balanced level of vitamins.

Moreover, experts remind that supplementing more vitamins can also be very helpful for weight loss. Vitamins themselves do not have calories, and some can even help with calorie metabolism. For example, Vitamin B1 helps the body smoothly convert glucose into heat; lack of Vitamin B2 will affect the metabolism of fat in the body, causing fat accumulation leading to obesity; without the help of Vitamin B6, the body's proteins cannot be metabolized smoothly; and lacking Vitamin B12 will prevent the smooth metabolism of fatty acids, which will lead to fat, protein, and carbohydrates being unable to be properly utilized by the body, affecting body shaping.

II. Do not ignore the supply of minerals

Minerals play a crucial role in the human body. The lack of minerals can lead to diseases in people's bodies. Taking the role of calcium in the body as an example, calcium helps improve various bodily functions, and once it is deficient, it can cause fatigue, loss of appetite, emotional indifference, intestinal spasm, intestinal weakness, colon pain, feverishness, constipation, cervical spondylosis bone spurs, etc.

Women during menstruation lose many minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc along with the loss of red blood cells. Therefore, after menstruation, women should increase their intake of calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron to improve the efficiency of mental labor. During winter weight loss, they can drink more milk, soy milk, or soybean products.
