Eat your omegas.
Omega-3s are essential fats that the body must source from food because it doesnt produce them itself.
Time to stock the pantry.
Balance your blood sugar.
Blood sugar needs to be tightly regulated in the body for us to function well, Stephenson explains.
We want to see a gradual rise and fall in blood sugar, not a spike.
Top up your vitamin D.
The hormone thyroxine helps to control our ability to produce energy.
Your gut will thank you.
Dont look for quick fixes.
But sugary and ultra-processed foods will drain our energy, warns Stephenson.
Opt for liquid energy.
Here’s what longevity doctors, physical therapists, and trainers think.
Time your energy boost.
This will give you a solid metabolic foundation and be beneficial for blood sugar.
Its important to avoid sugary foods and high-starch breakfasts, especially when they also lack protein.
This will send your blood sugar haywire and subsequently will have a negative effect on energy.
If your options are limited, even savory leftovers from the night before can make for a sensible breakfast.
