Healthy Diets For Women: ENERGY BOOSTERS

Here are some points to remember when trying to increase your energy levels:   1. Eat the right foods to create more energy. Caffeine and sugar are temporary energy boosters. Eating the right foods will produce sustained energy that will last you several hours and maintain balanced levels of insulin and glucose. For example;  Fill your plate with more fruits and vegetables (at least 50%). The other half of your plate can be carbohydrates (whole grains, pasta, potatoes) and proteins. This will ensure consistent and balanced energy levels. 2. Eat smaller frequent meals throughout the day. Smaller meals at lunch time has been observed by researchers to prevent energy crashes from too much glucose or sugar in your blood after eating large quantities of food. 3. Don’t crash diet. This can result in lower energy levels and lead to a greater weight gain afterwards.
