Knowing what to eat in autumn can help us combat all the symptoms that seasonal changes can bring.<\/p>\n

Melancholy, physical and mental fatigue, drowsiness<\/strong>, or, on the contrary, insomnia<\/strong> and difficulty concentrating<\/strong>: variations in daylight hours and temperatures and reduced exposure to sunlight can indeed influence the production of certain neurotransmitters that affect mood, hunger, and sleep.<\/p>\n

To combat the minor discomforts that follow, it can be of great help to make the right choices when it comes to what you put on your plate.<\/p>\n

So, here’s what to eat in autumn and the tips to follow to feel full of energy during this seasonal change.<\/p>\n

What to Eat in Autumn: 4 Combos to Counter the Seasonal Change<\/h1>\n

Yogurt and Cereals to Counter Mood Swings<\/h2>\n

This mix, ideal for breakfast or a snack, ensures beneficial bacteria<\/strong> and prebiotic fibers<\/strong> that promote their proliferation.<\/p>\n

The advantage? It protects the gut,<\/strong> which plays a key role in the overall health of the body and the production of feel-good hormones like serotonin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It also helps you feel more energized. This combination is indeed a good source of tryptophan<\/strong> (an essential amino acid which plays a major role when ensuring your gut is healthy).<\/p>\n

Finally, whole grains provide complex carbohydrates that provide long-lasting energy.<\/p>\n

Fatty Fish and Olive Oil to Beat Drowsiness<\/h2>\n

Less exposure to the sun in autumn affects the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, causing difficulty falling asleep, nighttime awakenings, and daytime drowsiness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the table, don’t miss foods rich in essential fatty acids<\/strong> that facilitate the secretion of serotonin<\/strong> and melatonin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good sources of these are fish, especially fatty fish (anchovies, sardines, mackerel, herring).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ideally, season it with extra virgin olive oil, rich in healthy fats that help you have long-lasting and high-quality sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spinach and Lemon to Overcome Fatigue<\/h2>\n

Spinach is a source of minerals<\/strong> useful for countering the feeling of fatigue<\/strong> that is frequent during seasonal changes. They provide, in particular, iron, potassium, magnesium, and calcium.<\/p>\n

To enhance its virtue, add a squeeze of lemon to your spinach.<\/p>\n

The vitamin C it’s rich in facilitates the absorption of calcium and iron<\/strong> and helps keep the typical sense of tiredness of the seasonal change at bay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicken and Rice to Combat Melancholy<\/h2>\n

Do shorter days make you feel demotivated? In your daily menus, say yes to foods that are a source of tyrosine<\/strong>, such as lean turkey<\/strong> and chicken meat<\/strong>, to be combined with foods rich in B vitamins<\/strong> such as whole rice<\/strong> and vegetables.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tyrosine is an amino acid precursor to dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, hormones that help you feel more energized<\/strong>. B-group vitamins facilitate their production.<\/p>\n
