Boost your Energy!!

​Do you often feel drained, sluggish, or struggle to get through the day? Low energy can be caused by various factors, including poor nutrition, dehydration, and imbalanced blood sugar levels. The good news? Simple dietary changes can make a world of difference!
Here are some nutrition tips to boost your energy levels:

1. Balance Your Meals – Include protein, healthy fats, and fibre-rich carbohydrates in every meal to keep blood sugar levels stable.
2. Stay Hydrated – Dehydration can lead to fatigue. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day.
3. Prioritize Whole Foods – Processed foods can cause energy crashes. Opt for fresh, nutrient-dense foods.
4. Don’t Skip Meals – Eating regularly prevents dips in energy and keeps metabolism steady. With than being said aim for 3 meals a day only, no snacking.
5. Support Your Gut Health – A healthy gut helps with nutrient absorption, giving your body the fuel it needs. Include daily probiotics like sourdough bread, kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir yoghurt and miso.
6. Increase the leafy green vegetables - Leafy green veg like spinach and kale contain Magnesium and B vitamins to support ATP production and energy in the cells.
7. Avoid sugary snacks - This will only spike your blood sugars and make you crash feeling low energy.
8. Switch simple carbs to complex carbs - Switch white potato, white pasta, white bread, white rice to wholegrain/brown rice, pasta, bread, etc... This again will avoid the blood sugar spike and the ‘come down’.

 
But it is important to note that if you try these things and still feel fatigued, ask your GP to run a simple blood test to ensure you are not low on your vitamins.
 
Make 2025 the year of transformation and combat that low energy!!
