Stop Passing Out On The Keyboard
Tired of feeling tired? Whether it's stress related insomnia or just the simple fact that you are addicted to watching Lost reruns, you are worn out and struggle to make it through the day. Lattes, Red Bulls and candy from the Bulk Barn may be able to give you short bursts of energy, but it usually comes with a hard crash back to earth, or has you passing out head first onto your keyboard a few hours later. Not only does this slow done your productivity, but lack of sleep can cause stress and weaken your immune system.
The Fatigue Fighting Diet
Life is all about balance, and that doesn’t ring more true than with your diet. The more you overeat, the more exhausted you will feel. Your body has to work in overdrive to try and digest the food which leaves you little energy to go about your usual tasks. Your best bet is to stick to 4 small meals a day, or three balanced meals and two snacks, depending on your routine.
In most cases the proper diet to boost your energy should be made up of approximately 65 percent veggies and fruits. The best kinds are ones that are choc full of vitamin B. Examples of these include peas, beans, corn and especially avocados. These can help your nervous system function while keeping you alert under stress. Fruits such as oranges and strawberries, that are rich in vitamin C, can also support your body's adrenal glands which can lift your spirits and keep you jumping at the office or at home. While fruits and veggies are the key, you can also get life from lean protein such as skinless chicken and complex carbs like beans, oats and legumes. This is the best way to keep the balance that is so important to your body.
Start Right in the Morning
While a lot of diets and nutrition plans put emphasis on consuming little to no carbs, you may be feeling weighted down and exhausted because you aren’t getting enough complex carbohydrates in your diet. Carbs are the energy source that your body is craving, but many health professionals suggest straying away from mixing carbs and protein in the morning. The usual bacon and home fries breakfast is not the way to go. This comes back to the problem of overeating and how it can drain you of energy. A breakfast such as a bowl of whole grain cereal or oatmeal is a great way to start your day and fight fatigue.
Keeping it Balanced for Lunch and Dinner
For lunch, mix it up and go with a variety of foods, but you can keep your blood sugar level up by opting for some tuna and some red pepper wrapped in a tortilla. Something such as salmon, dark green veggies and brown rice is a balanced and extremely healthy dinner that will keep you primed and ready for the next day, without energizing you too much so you cannot fall asleep. For a little extra kick, you can munch on ginseng candy or indulge in ginseng tea throughout the day. It can help your body fight stress and is easy to find at a local health food store.
Foods to Stay Away From
To keep it simple and to the point, get away from those convenient foods that are quick, processed and full of chemicals. No more Lunchables for the kids, and no more microwave dinners or lunches. The lack of nutrients in these quick and easy foods can lead to imbalances in your metabolism which can wear you out and even increase your risk for heart disease and cancer.
If you want to really put in a little extra time and effort, opt for a juicer. It is a solid investment that makes consuming vegetables and fruits easy and more fun. It has been proven that many people get a burst of energy after drinking fruit juice, and there is nothing better than organic, homemade and all natural juice. Fresh juice is filled to the brim with enzymes, minerals and vitamins which are vital for your body's ability to produce energy.
It's Easier than it Seems
An energy boosting diet really does not have to be all that complicated. Stick to some healthy options and plan everything around vegetables and fruits. It has become too easy to set the main course of the meal, and choose the meat, before even thinking about the vegetables. Plan your main dish around vegetables, eat light but right in the morning, and keep yourself satisfied during the day without overeating. You're just a few steps away from getting that bounce back in your step that you’ve been missing the last few months.
