To compensate for high work intensity, mental pressure and health decline due to irregular eating, workers need to choose foods that are both nutritious and support disease prevention.
Mugwort - a familiar vegetable in cuisine and folk medicine - is considered a suitable food and brings many benefits to workers if used regularly and properly.
This vegetable has the effect of improving blood circulation and reducing body aches. Workers, especially manual laborers or office workers who sit for long periods, often experience joint pain, muscle tension and numbness in limbs. The essential oils and active ingredients in mugwort help warm the body, stimulate blood circulation, thereby reducing pain and fatigue, and supporting physical recovery after stressful working hours.
In addition, mugwort also supports the digestive system and improves sleep. Workers often eat and drink at irregular times, are prone to bloating, indigestion or insomnia due to stress. Mugwort is warm in nature, helps stimulate digestion, reduce stomach constriction and soothe the nervous system. When sleep is improved, the body will have conditions to regenerate energy and improve labor productivity the next day.
Another important reason is that mugwort helps strengthen resistance. Mugwort contains a lot of vitamins A, C and antioxidants, contributing to protecting the body from pathogens. For workers who are frequently exposed to polluted environments, harsh weather or work outdoors, eating mugwort reasonably can help the body adapt better and limit minor illnesses.
Mugwort is also known for its effect of regulating qi and blood and supporting physiological health, especially beneficial for female workers. However, because mugwort is warm in nature and bitter in taste, workers should only use it in moderation and process it appropriately to avoid the opposite effect.
