Can food boost Energy and mood?
Foods can boost energy by supplying
calories, by pushing your body to burn calories more efficiently, and,
in some cases, by delivering caffeine. For a better mood, the best foods
are those that help keep your blood sugar steady and trigger feel-good
brain chemicals. Here are some,
Apples
Though it’s too soon to say, “An apple a
day keeps the doldrums away,” researchers are studying the links
between what we eat and how we feel. There is evidence that changing
your diet can change your metabolism and brain chemistry, ultimately
affecting your energy level and mood.
Fiber
Fiber helps keep your energy steady
throughout the day. Many people don’t get enough fiber. You can fix that
by eating more beans, whole fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Fresh Produce
Another way to stay hydrated and
energized is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, which are naturally
full of water. Snack on apple wedges or celery, for example. Other
hydrating foods include oatmeal and pasta, which sop up their cooking
water.
