Now first class nutrition is essential for absolutely everybody, whether you work shift work or not. But because you’re placing extra strain on your body by working crazy and irregular hours – then it’s even more critical that you adopt healthy eating habits.
But the good news is that first class shift work nutrition is the KEY to beating fatigue. Now as a 17 year shift work veteran, I certainly know what it’s like to feel fatigued.
And I have learnt over the years that as you take better care of yourself by feeding your body first class nutrition, you become more charismatic, your energy levels improve and you even become better at your job.
You will simply feel so much better when you put the best fuel possible into your body.
The food that you eat everyday will help your immune system become stronger and your mind fresh and focused. (I don’t know about you but I’ve had so many ‘forgetful’ moments over the years I used to just place it down to sleep deprivation, but in hindsight I think it was just poor eating habits and bad nutrition on my part!)
You see for most shift workers, they blame sleep deprivation as the major reason for making them feel so tired and lethargic. And of course there is a lot of truth to this statement.
But what most people don’t realise is the power of what you take in your hand and put in your mouth can make a huge difference in how you feel – particularly with your energy levels.
I also believe that for most shift workers, they are blissfully unaware of just how food affects their body and their overall health.
So if you’re sick of waking up feeling tired and lethargic – take a good hard look at what is passing through your mouth. If your diet consists mainly of boxed or processed foods then it might be time to make the switch to include more fresh, raw and organic foods. Yuri’s book – Eating for Energy – has some great recipes to help get you started on this journey to beating this fatigue.
I guarantee that you will start to feel much more vibrant and energized as you start to feed your body first class shift work nutrition.
After all, do you put contaminated fuel in your car? I think not. So why feed your body with contaminated food – which is exactly what processed food is.
So start by getting your hands on Yuri’s Eating for Energy book, and when you begin to apply the principles from it … watch your energy levels grow! As a shift worker who has read Yuri’s book from cover to cover, I can certainly vouch that it definitely works!
Kind regards,

Great post Audra. I can only imagine how tough it must be to energize yourself and get a “normal” schedule as a shift worker.
