Eat for Energy

What kinds of food can you eat to increase your energy?
能量食物解碼 - 你該吃什麼食物來增加活力能量？

It's the middle of the afternoon. You've been working hard all day. But now you can't keep your eyes open, and your mind starts to wander. Suddenly, a pain in your stomach brings you back to reality. You need a snack. You take a break and go to the nearest convenience store. You stare at the rows of chips, candy and soda. But before you grab just any snack, stop and think. What food will give you healthy, long-lasting energy? 

Water
Yes, Water. Your body uses water to absorb the things it needs. Water also helps your cells get the things they need to keep them working. Each day, make sure you are drinking enough water, especially if you are exercising.

Almonds
These little treats are full of protein, fiber and good fats. They help you stay full. Almonds can also reduce your risk of heart disease. And they contain lots of omega-3 fatty acids that can help keep you focused.

Fruit
Fruit of all kinds contain healthy carbohydrates, which will raise your energy level quickly. They have fiber, which will fill you up, and lots of vitamins. Bananas make especially good snacks because they have lots of potassium. This important mineral keeps your nerves and muscles working well.

Whole grains
Whole wheat, oats and brown rice give you fiber, good carbohydrates and vitamins. They provide energy that will stay with you until your next meal. For snack, try a sandwich on whole-wheat bread or whole-grain cereal sprinkled over yogurt. And speaking of yogurt.....

Greek Yogurt
All yogurt is great for digestion. But thick Greek yogurt has extra protein for longer-lasting energy.

Dark chocolate
There's nothing wrong with enjoying an occasional treat - especially if it's chocolate. Chocolate provides minerals like iron that can increase your energy. But aim for chocolate that's at least 70 percent cacao. It provides more health benefits - and less sugar.
