Top 10 Foods For An
Incredible All
Natural Energy Boost
Fatigue is one of the most common conditions that
plagues everyone, from busy high school and college
students to older working adults.
While the most obvious cure is 8 solid hours of sleep each night, or to take a quick nap in the afternoon, this is not
always possible.
In fact, studies show that most humans do not get
nearly enough quality sleep that they need to
have optimal energy throughout the day.
This lack of energy is the reason that a trend in consumption of energy drinks has become so prevalent.
But, the problem is that energy drinks, including, but, not limited to Red Bull
contain high amounts of sugar and caffeine.
Various medical experts have stated that these drinks are 'another form
of drugs.'
Energy drinks contain stimulants that cause rapid heart rate,
increased blood pressure and stimulation of the central nervous
system, much like, stimulant drugs.
The FDA reports that the drink 5-Hour Energy might be linked to as many as 13 deaths in the past four
years.
And, another important thing to consider is the fact that there is a very real crash and burn effect once these drinks wear
off.
And, often people will keep drinking them once the effect of the first one
wears off.
There is another option to promote incredible energy in a healthy and
natural way.
And, that is through a sensible diet and foods that provide lasting, all natural and real energy to keep you going throughout
the day.
The Top 10 Foods For Energy
Eggs
Egg yolks contain high levels of essential B-vitamins, which are in charge of converting the food you
eat into energy, and Vitamin D, which helps build and maintain
strong bones.
While eggs are also a source of saturated fats, these unwanted
additions can be avoided by making a breakfast of one full egg
and up to three egg whites.
EdamameEdamame are green soybeans and are filled with energizing
B-vitamins such as phosphorous and copper.
These are important for breaking down carbohydrates
into glucose which the body uses for energy.
Edamame are also high in fiber, protein, and good carbs which make them the perfect snack to revive your energy
throughout the day.
Coffee It’s no coincidence that coffee
shops and cafes can be found on almost every corner in most
cities.
Filled with energizing caffeine, coffee is a great way to get a
boost of energy when you need it most.
Some studies show that coffee is even effective for fighting
cancer.
A simple eight-ounce cup is perfect for providing the needed
Whole Grains
Found in most cereals, whole grains are high in fiber and responsible for
the slow release of glucose which helps keep you full, focused, and
energized throughout the day.
Instead of spiking blood sugar levels like one might after eating
candy or throwing back an energy drink full of refined sugars, whole
grains keep you consistently energized naturally.
Melons These succulent fruits help fight
chronic fatigue by keeping the body hydrated.
Honeydew, watermelon, cantaloupe, and similar melons are 90% water,
which means snacking on these fruits will flood the body with nutrients,
minerals, and plenty of natural hydration to keep you awake and alert.
Another protein packed food is cheese. Like eggs, cheese is filled
with protein and other energy inducing B-vitamins.
The best cheese to consume is farmer’s cheese as it presses the
cheese curds until they have been separated from the liquid, whey.
Walnuts A natural source of melatonin, walnuts are a great snack to eat
before bed.
Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the body after the
sun goes down to help make you sleepy.
Of course, a good night’s sleep is the best plan to combat fatigue, so
add walnuts to your pantry for the perfect bedtime snack.
Green Tea
For those who don’t enjoy the taste of coffee or can’t tolerate
the high caffeine content, there’s green tea.
This delicious tea is filled with L-theanine which is an amino
acid that helps you feel exhilarated and alert to get
through your day.
QuinoaKnown as a super-grain,
quinoa is filled with more protein than any other
grain.
It contains high levels of protein and amino acids
such as methionine, lysine, and cysteine.
WaterIt may seem too simple, but water is one the best foods for incredible
energy.
By simply drinking at least eight cups of water every day, people can stay hydrated which in turn
gives them energy, alertness, and consistent hydration.
