Food Fuel

In the midst of your day, around 3 pm, do you feel like taking a catnap? For those whose answer was an absolute “Yes”, it may be great to look into foods that can help keep your energy strong all day long.

TRY THESE:

Fruit – It is easy for people to say get your apple a day. The other fruits that can really fuel your body are kiwi, apricots, cantaloupe, blueberries and bananas.

Eggs – Omega 3 eggs are full of good fats plus vitamins B and D.

Beans – Awesome resource for potassium and carbohydrates. Some beans to consider are kidney, lentils, and baked, though there are many more.

Seeds – Nice source of fiber, minerals, and antioxidants.

Nuts – Not only a good snack, but almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews can really give you the boost you need at anytime of the day. They are also full of fiber, minerals, and antioxidants.

Vegetables – You must love your greens. The most recommended are broccoli, spinach, sprouts and asparagus.

Water – The number one source of energy that we often neglect is water. It not only revives the body, but it prevents dehydration that can slow the body down.

Knowing this information makes grocery shopping is much easier. Include the things your body needs to keep you strong and healthy. So when you are on the go or have some time to snack, you can make healthier choices instead of the random eating selections you have made before.

It is always good to be informed and make the best decisions for your body.

Eat Healthy!
