| Dietary Advice |
|
|
The virtues of maintaining a balanced
diet, with a good mix of protein, dairy, carbohydrates, fruit and
vegetables, are well documented. Complex carbohydrates such as wholegrains,
vegetables and fruit are great foods to help achieve long lasting energy,
as they release energy slowly throughout the day.
Top Tip: |
|
- Avoid fast releasing carbohydrates such as sugar and refined
foods. They give a sudden energy boost followed by a slump. If
you need an afternoon snack to perk you up opt for an
energising banana or a fruit smoothie.
|
Include Breakfast!
We know, you've heard it before. But still about 30 per cent of adults
aged 18-35 don't bother with breakfast - even though it is the most
important meal of the day with regards to energy. During the night
your metabolism slows down so you need a boost when you get up. How
can you expect to be sprightly and sharp when you haven't eaten for 12
hours?
Top tip:
|
|
- If limited time is your excuse, there are plenty of healthy
foods that can be bought on your way to work and eaten at your
desk - fruit, cereal, yoghurt, muffins or even a tuna sandwich.
|
Fruit Power
Start the day with a delicious natural energy drink. Mix one banana,
one mango, five strawberries and 150ml milk or small carton of low fat
yoghurt. Add 1tbsp of rolled oats and mix in a blender. You can make
it the night before to save time in the morning.
