Nutritionist | Improved Nutrition | Eat Right Advocate. I am committed to educating us to tackle undernutrition and improve healthy lifestyle.
The food we eat affects how energetic we feel throughout the day. Imagine starting your day with a sugary donut and a bottle of Coke. An hour later, you might feel a sudden burst of energy, followed by a crash. Now, consider having yam and egg sauce. How do you think your energy levels would be different? Then you have a protein-packed lunch like Egusi soup with beef or fish. Now, think about the type of fats you consume. Healthy fats like those in avocados, nuts, and fish provide sustained energy and support brain function. Compare how you feel after snacking on chips versus having a handful of cashew nuts. How often do you drink water throughout the day? Dehydration can lead to fatigue. Check out your last meal. Did it include a variety of colorful vegetables? Vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that enhance energy levels and overall health. By making mindful food choices, we can better understand how what we eat directly impacts our energy, productivity, and well-being.
