When you’re suffering from a lack of energy during the day and want to do something about it, it’s important to consider several factors to find the best way to increase your energy level. Three of these factors are (1) what you eat, (2) how much you eat, and (3) when you eat.
Choosing What to Eat
The best foods to eat to increase energy levels are slow release, higher fiber carbohydrates. It’s therefore important to know that there is something called the glycemic index (GI) which is a nutritional rating given to food that helps you differentiate between fast release and slow release carbohydrates.
All foods that have a GI of 55 or less are slow release carbohydrates and classed as LOW GLYCAEMIC INDEX FOODS. Foods with a lower GI, if eaten in the correct portions, release glucose slowly and steadily into the bloodstream.
