If you’re lacking energy, it might be due to your food choices.
Writer Jackie Lynch suggests that people may lack energy because they are not:
1. Eating sufficient protein - protein gives the body the energy it needs. Protein also helps to balance blood sugar levels.
2. Relying on a low carbohydrate diet - A low carb diet can cause low energy. Eat complex carbs such as whole grains and vegetables.
3. Ingesting too much caffeine - Caffeine can inhibit the body from taking up sufficient iron which affects the body’s ability to transport oxygen.
4. Not getting enough exercise - Exercise causes the body to release endorphins which help elevate your mental energy. Exercise can also give you more physical energy.
5. Insufficient water intake - Water helps the circulatory system and helps the body’s organs remove toxins.
6. Too much alcohol - Vitamin B plays a part in the production of energy. Alcohol can lower those levels. The sugars in alcohol can also affect the body’s regulation of blood sugar.
