Eating right increases your energy

Many people complain about their lack of energy. But the funny thing is, most people are taking in more than enough calories. So there must be something wrong with their food choices.

The main problem is taking in too many refined sugars. If you have a large plate of pasta or a packet of biscuits at lunch, inevitably you start to feel sleepy in the early afternoon. This is because your blood sugar drops suddenly after a huge hit of sugar. The body defends itself due to the fact that high blood sugar can cause many problems.

Therefore, eat protein at midday with complex carbohydrates such as brown rice. Try not to each too much as this will also cause insulin to rise and blood sugar levels to drop.

Also, try to keep a 2-litre bottle of water on your desk, or with you, and try to get through it slowly throughout the day.
