How To Increase Your Energy Level

Do you often find yourself experiencing an energy slump by midday, feeling sluggish, exhausted, and left in need of more energy? The truth is, diet plays a crucial role and what we consume daily can have a great impact on our energy levels. An unhealthy diet does not provide the body with the fuel required to function optimally. But where can we find the essential vitamins and minerals that are sure to improve energy levels throughout the day?

Antidote is a leading provider of health juices in Singapore, and this article will share tips on foods that will boost your vitality the natural way.

Oatmeals

The high-fibre content of oatmeals is the reason it’s such a filling meal that provides lasting energy. Because fibre takes longer to digest, having oatmeal for breakfast will power you through the entire morning, compared with a breakfast of white toast and jam. With stable blood-sugar levels, you’ll feel energised and focused throughout the day without feeling the need for another cup of coffee.

Choosing plain versions of instant oatmeal, steel-cut oats, or old-fashioned oats is best as they aren’t filled with extra sugar. Plus, it’s a good option for those who experience blood sugar spikes and drops with other processed breakfast cereals. You can then have control of what you include such as milk, a little honey, and some mixed berries.

Cold-pressed juices

Having a good intake of raw vegetables and fruits as part of one’s daily diet is beneficial for energy levels. Cold pressed juices are an efficient and effective way of getting nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet. As juices are absorbed very rapidly by our bodies, those who incorporate cold-pressed juices into their diet regularly talk about feeling an almost instantaneous increase in vitality within a few minutes of consuming cold-pressed juices, infusing you with a sense of improved energy.

Lean meats 

Lean pork, lean beef, skinless chicken, and turkey are great sources of protein that include the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine boosts levels of two brain chemicals, namely dopamine and norepinephrine, which can aid with alertness and helps one to stay focused. Lean meats also contain vitamin B-12, which may help ease insomnia and depression.

Yoghurt

The carbs in yoghurt come in the form of the two simple sugars, lactose and galactose. When broken down, these sugars offer the body ready-to-use energy. 

Low-fat greek yoghurt is an especially good choice, containing protein, slow-release carbohydrates, and B vitamins. Protein helps the body burn calories in carbohydrates, slow-release carbohydrates fuel the body for hours, and B vitamins help your body to convert the energy in carbohydrates into glucose. Pair with fruit and manuka honey or maple syrup for a delicious treat.

We hope this article has helped with identifying the healthy foods and beverages that can supply your body with the extra energy, keeping you motivated and productive during the day.
