Unfortunately, the vast majority of the population turns
to stimulants instead of looking to whole foods for
invigorating energy. But if you change your diet, you can
avoid the excess caffeine and over-hyped supplements.
Stimulating foods such coffee, sugar and energy drinks
actually fatigue your body in the long run.
Sure, they give you a quick jolt of energy, but then their
real effects are felt as they wear down your adrenal
glands, disrupt your blood sugar, and create a huge crash
after the initial high. Essentially they are drugs.
Instead of searching for miracle energy foods your goal
should be to eat a well-balanced diet. To help you get
started, here is a list of some my favorite energizing
foods:
* Wheatgrass – If you haven’t tried wheatgrass then you’re
missing out on some big-time energy and nutrition. Growing
it and juicing yourself can be a bit of a pain, but you
can easily get a “shot” at most health food stores or
juice bars. 1 oz. of wheatgrass juice packs more nutrition
than 2.5 lbs of green leafy veggies!
* Raw cacao (nibs or powder) – And incredible source of
magnesium and antioxidants, these pack enough energy to
give me a natural high that can last for hours, like from
coffee and caffeinated beverages but without the crash.
* Goji berries – Packed with antioxidants and
polysaccharides that improve cell-to-cell communication,
these are delicious when combined with raw cacao nibs.
Remember that although these foods provide incredible
nutrition, they are the like the healthier version of
coffee and other quick fixes. That means they are best
consumed in small quantities and without filler
ingredients.
YOU CAN DO THIS!
YOU’RE AWESOME!
BEST REGARDS!
