Food and Recipes for Energy

Food and Recipes for Energy

organic-fruit-veg-iconAccording to Dr. James Rouse at Gaiam Life you can boost your energy levels by making changes to the foods you eat. Dr. Rouse recommends eating the right portions, the right mix of nutrients and strategic timing of meals and snacks.  This provides more all-day energy and avoids the physical and mental roller coaster1

The U.K. site GoodToKnowRecipes says:2food

1. Eat beans and bread
Slow-releasing carbohydrates such as chickpeas, kidney beans, baked beans, nuts and grainy bread will keep your energy levels more stable.

2. Have caffeine with lunch
A cup of coffee in the middle of the day can help offset the natural dip in energy levels you get in the afternoon.

3. Increase your iron levels
Tiredness can often indicate iron deficiency anaemia. A mild iron deficiency is rectified by eating more iron-rich foods such as red meat, liver, pulses and green vegetables. 

4. Eat enough calories
If you’re dieting, eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and unprocessed foods and don’t eat less than 1,400 calories day.

5. Try more seeds
Seeds are great energizers.

6. Eat more pasta
The complex carbohydrates in pasta provide slow-release energy that keeps your blood sugar levels on an even keel. 

7. Get more zinc
If you’re really flagging and lethargic you may be short of zinc. Find it in food such as shellfish, red meat and poultry. 

8. Eat a proper breakfast
Never skip breakfast.

Don’t forget: Drink at least eight cups of water every single day, otherwise you’ll become dehydrated, and you’ll ruin all your other good work.

Natural Energy Enhancing Foods

Natural Energy Enhancing Foods

For Athletes and people who have a busy schedule, finding food that enhances energy is important.

Complex Carbohydrates and Protein

Complex Carbohydrates and protein are recommended by Christine Gerbstadt, MD, MPH, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and a weight control researcher at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Quoted in WebMD, Dr.Gerbstadt says: “Try a whole-grain cracker with low-fat cheese,” Gerbstadt says. “Or a peanut butter sandwich on whole-wheat bread.” The secret? “That combination of protein and a complex carbohydrate (digested more slowly than simple carbs) increases your blood glucose in a sustained way,” she says. “It boosts energy longer than if you eat gumdrops, for instance.”1

Eat a High-carb, High-fiber Breakfast

For short-term and long-term energy boosts, make a habit of eating a high-fiber, carbohydrate-rich breakfast, says Jaimie Davis, PhD, RD, research associate at the Institute for Prevention Research at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. Quoted on the WebMd website, Davis points to a study that compared the effects of two carbohydrate-rich breakfasts — one high-fiber, one low-fiber — with two high-fat breakfasts. The high-fiber, high-carb meal was associated with the highest level of alertness between breakfast and lunch. The study was published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition.

To boost the fiber and carbs in your first meal of the day, select such foods as whole-wheat toast or high-fiber cereal. A half cup of high-fiber cereal can contain as much as 14 grams of fiber, and some high-fiber breads have 6 grams per slice. Aim for 25 to 30 grams of total fiber daily, Davis says, noting that most Americans get perhaps 10 to 15 grams.2
