Eat these before going to work..
One of my friends Rayan suggested that night shift workers should eat cereal-based food before leaving home. They said to take Finger millet’s chapati , sorghum bread, millet java, finger millet java. Snacks are rich in nutrients like vitamin B12, B6, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, zinc, iron. Experts say that snacks are high in protein as compared to meat. Millets are rich in zinc, fiber and protein, which will keep your stomach full. The desire to eat snacks decreases. Food cravings are high during night shift. If you consume millets, you will reduce your appetite and increase your energy levels. These also keep your weight under control.
