Diet tips for increased energy

You don’t have to change your diet entirely. Just a few tips can help you feel like you have more and longer lasting energy.

An Alkaline diet as an energy booster

Everyone knows that fast food, lots of sweet things, greasy snacks and soft drinks are unhealthy. High calorie foods not only increase your fat, but also make you feel unfit. By cutting out or minimising acid producing foods you can not only loose weight, but also increase your performance and endurance.  Alkaline-forming foods are healthy, supplying the body with vital nutrients and ensuring healthy metabolism, which results in a feeling of increased energy and vigour. Vegetables, salad, nuts and herbs create an alkaline environment in the body and produce energy. For an alkaline treatment, meat, sugary foods and white flour products should be either minimised or avoided. To support your body you should drink lots of water or unsweetened herbal teas. Green smoothies containing salad, herbs, matcha spirulina also increase energy as they contain chlophyll. It’s a good idea to do an alkaline treatment in spring, not only to help you lose the weight gained over winter, but also to give you new energy and the strength you need to hone your beach body with exercise. 

Metabolism booster for your figure and energy

A good metabolism is essential not only for a slim figure, but also to feel fit and active. To enable your whole body to work well it is vital to drink enough, not only in the morning. Drinking a large glass of water after getting up, perhaps with some fresh lemon or ginger, boosts not only fat burning, but also increases your energy for the whole day. Ginger water, ginger tea made from fresh ginger and green tea are ideal energy suppliers. A drop in energy is best combatted by a handful of nuts or trail mix. Healthy snacks are the perfect energy food for your muscles and brain. In the evening it’s best to eat low carb and protein rich foods. Salmon is ideal. The healthy protein is full of important omega 3 fatty acids. The effect of protein rich foods in the evening is to help you sleep well, so that you feel rested and energetic the next day. The protein also helps your body regenerate better in the night and build muscles. If you increase muscle rather than fat, you have more energy. Growth hormones are also released and fat burning is boosted. 

Alkaline foods, healthy snacks, protein rich meals in the evening and lots of water are the basis for health and beauty and they guarantee not only a good figure, but also that you feel fit and energetic.
