Do you battle constant fatigue? Here are ideas of how food can give you more energy:

  • Do not eat sugary foods by themselves, and limit daily intake to 10 percent or less of your total calories.
  • Keep an eye on iron. Consume plenty of iron-rich foods (like lean meats or chicken). Eat a small amount of meat with iron-rich grains, vegetables, and beans. A good example is spaghetti and meatballs.
  • Avoid dieting. Drastic calorie-restricted diets limit fuel and vital nutrients that can leave you feeling tired and depressed.

Eating well provides a foundation for a balanced, healthy life. Make sure your eating habits support your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
