6 Ways to Increase Energy with the Food You Already Eat- Part 5



The food we eat is packed with energy, but the sad part is that most of it is wasted due to the eating habits we develop growing up. Here are six ways to increase energy with the food you already eat. No fancy diets, just a different mentality for developing eating habits.

Add protein to your breakfast

Carbohydrates can be generally broken down into two categories: Simple carbs and complex carbs. Simple carbs give you a quick rush as they are converted into sugar, and complex carbs burn more slowly. Protein is more similar to complex carbs than simple carbs, so try to add some to your breakfast for an even burn of energy throughout the day.

If you stick with sugary cereals and simple carbs, you'll get that quick "up" but it will quickly burn away and you'll be struggling to keep up your energy levels throughout the day.

Try eggs, a whole grain cereal, or a health shake to boost your early morning protein intake. If you can, cut out carbs completely.
