Tips To Help You Stay Energized All Day
By: Rick Young
Gone are the days when three square meals could keep a person going for a full 12 hours. Our desk jobs keep us working indoors and we often feel sapped by florescent lighting and a lack of time in which to exercise.
Choosing healthful foods and eating five or six small meals a day rather than three larger ones will ensure that your energy level stays stable and you’re spared the highs and lows that accompany overeating or an unhealthy diet. Here are some tips on getting the most energy out of your daily food intake:
* Forget what your mother told you about snacking between meals. Nutritious snacks made of fresh, unprocessed foods will help keep your energy level up over the course of the day. A handful of nuts, some carrot sticks or slices of fruit are good choices.
* Stay hydrated with fruit juice, skim milk, water or a nutrient-packed beverage like NuVim to keep from getting fatigued. NuVim, which is available in the refrigerated juice section of many supermarkets, contains the proven immune system-enhancing ingredient MunePro, along with vitamins C, E, B-12 and zinc; vitamin A; calcium; and complete protein. It’s caffeine-free and low in calories, carbs and sugar.
* Don’t skip breakfast. It may seem like an easy way to lose weight, but you’ll find that instead of feeling lighter, you’ll feel lightheaded or even sluggish. If making breakfast is too much of a hassle, grab something nutritious to eat on the go. When you do cook breakfast, forgo the sweet stuff and choose protein instead; eggs or egg substitutes are good energy-builders when paired with a slice of whole grain toast. High-fiber cereal, such as oatmeal, also provides long-lasting energy.
* Sit down to eat - but not in front of the TV. Focusing your attention on the television instead of what is on your plate could lead to overeating.
* Watch your evening portions. Eating a large meal before bed is hardly energy-efficient. Instead, make sure your body gets energy when it needs it most: when you’re awake. A good breakfast and lunch, along with midday snacks and a light dinner, will keep your energy level on an even keel throughout the day.
