Some Meals That Can Get You Energized That You Never Take Notice Of.

Have   you ever felt tired and groggy after a
meal? It doesn't feel good. And it doesn't lead
to a productive or happy day. In fact, the foods
you eat can even impact the quality of your
relationships. You might not be able to focus
during meetings, or enjoy quality time with
your partner. It's amazing how when we eat
the wrong foods our body promptly responds
with low energy and a moody mind.
Fortunately, when you feed your body the right
foods, your body will soak up all that good
stuff. Not sure what I mean by the "right"
food? Well, these meals are the perfect
place to start. Add them to your daily meals
and you'll feel lighter, happier, and more
energized.


 Dark Leafy Greens

These guys top the list because they are high
in vitamins. Spinach, kale, broccoli, and
cabbage are all great choices. You should be
eating at least 2-4 cups per week. Aside from the vitamins, dark leafy vegetables
are a great source of fiber—which your gut
loves. Fiber keeps things moving. And a happy
gut equals a happy, energized you. That means
no bloating and more time feeling great in your
body. If you struggle with tummy issues, eat at
least one serving of leafy greens per day.



Dark Chocolate

Yep, dark chocolate has sugar. But if you
choose low-sugar options, you can get all the
nutritional value without any guilt. Dark
chocolate provides vitamins, minerals, fiber,
and antioxidants. It even gives you a small
dose of caffeine. The caffeine content is small
though, so you don't need to worry about any
jitters.
It's the perfect treat for the end of a work day
when you need that extra boost to make it
through the final hour. Keep small, single
portions in your desk and sneak a treat when
you need an energy boost.

 Nuts

You can find nuts in energy bars or snack
packs at your local grocery store for good
reason. Almonds, walnuts, cashews, and the
like, offer your body a variety of vitamins,
minerals, and, most importantly, dietary fat.
Fat helps your body use energy over a longer
period of time, which helps keep you from
crashing after snacking. So for sustained
energy, nuts are your go-to energy booster
(provided you don't have a nut allergy). To
keep them super healthy, try to eat sprouted,
soaked, or raw nuts. Your intestines will thank
you. Keep a can at your desk and have a handful
when you're hungry. Walnuts are high in ALA, a
type of omega-3 fatty acid; peanuts are high
in folate and vitamin E; and almonds have
more calcium than any other nut.


Citrus Fruits

Fruit in general is a great energy booster. Your
brain and body love the natural sugar. But,
citrus fruits specifically have the power to
wake you up because they stimulate the
sensory systems in your brain. The smell of an
orange or grapefruit enlivens your senses and
sharpens your focus.
So if you have a long to-do list or a major
project you have to complete by the end of the
day, start your day with a juicy grapefruit or
orange. Or, branch out and try blood oranges,
tangerines, or mandarins.


 WATER

I know, it seems like a lame tip, but a lot of
women forget to stay hydrated. Your brain
legitimately can't work properly if it's not
hydrated. So, drink up! My favorite way to
drink water (hot or cold) is to add some lemon
slices. That way, I get to harness the power of
citrus while providing my body and mind with
the hydration it needs to stay on point.
Combine these healthy eats with exercise and
you've got a power combo. Stretch, walk, run,
or do yoga—every day. Do this consistently and
you'll feel more energized, with a clearer mind
and body.
