Feeling Tired, Stressed, or Fatigued??

** Fun Photo. This is how are dinner plate should look.

Try these foods that can boost your energy level if not eaten in excess!

Complex Carbohydrates can provide your body with lasting energy. Complex Carbohydrates are found in whole grains, and vegetables with high starch content.

Vitamin C deficiency can be linked to fatigue. In order to reap benefits you should consume 200 to 300mg of Vitamin C daily. Other then your glass of orange juice try red and green bell peppers, kiwi, strawberries, and cantaloupe.

Iron deficiency is linked to fatigue because iron is necessary to transport oxygen in the body. Anemia can also be caused by a severe iron deficiency. Soybeans, spinach, red meat and beans are all iron-rich foods that you can add to your diet for a boost of energy.

Protein is important for preventing fatigue because it regulates the release of energy. Proteins also act as a backup source of energy when carbohydrates are not available. Eggs, nuts, beans, fish, and low-fat dairy products are all good sources of protein and foods for energy.

Also make sure you eat breakfast, a slice of toast with a egg and fruit or oatmeal is quick and easy!

Healthy Snacking: If you need a snack, instead of choosing cookies or candies that will lead you to an energy crash later, pick a handful of nuts, a piece of fruit, or a low-fat cheese stick. Bananas are one of the best fruits because it has plenty of easily digestible carbohydrates. If you really crave a sweet snack then consider chocolate. Dark chocolate contains more antioxidants than any other kind, so it is the best choice. Because chocolate does contain substantial amounts of sugar and fat, it should be eaten sparingly.

And last but not least Drink plenty of WATER!! I started my water kick today and I was in the bathroom a lot. It takes a little bit to get used to but it is so good if you can stick to it!
I hope these tips will help you get through your day with more energy... I have already tried a few and it really does help!

Cheers to Staying Healthy!:)
