These are the best anti-fatigue foods

[GoldenTV]

If you are finding that your mind is hazy and your body altogether feels sluggish, adding some anti-fatigue foods to your everyday meals could make a big difference to how you feel both mentally and physically.

1.Banana
Bananas are a delicious and highly nutritious snack, they boost your energy levels and performance during exercise, as well as reducing inflammation.


2.Chia seeds
Chia seeds are low in calories and packed with fiber, protein, antioxidants and ALA omega-3’s and is known as the "endurance superfood"


3.Dark Chocolate
Chocolate contains antioxidants, caffeine and nutrients that can fight fatigue and use in moderation can combat the afternoon slump.


4. Quinoa


5.Oatmeal
Whole grain oats are a complex carbohydrate with nutritional benefits that breaks down to become energy that’s slowly absorbed by your body. Which means it’s energy that will last.


6.Watermelon
Watermelon contain potassium that helps promotes strong, healthy muscles. Without enough potassium, you feel weak and tired. Watermelon is also credited with improving athletic performance because it contain an acid that help blood vessels expand, more oxygen can get to your muscles, decreasing fatigue.


7.Lentils
Lentils are superfood. They are are high in fiber, and complex carbohydrates and protein. Ounce for ounce, lentils have as much protein as steak (with less than 10 percent of the fat!).


8.Spinach
The leafy greens have tons of iron and potassium...which means spinach actually can perk you up when you're feeling tired.

Some are OK as I have worked with foods and fatigue and I avoid bananas (high sugar and too heavy)

Oatmeal is no longer in my foods that I consume...too heavy and many report that it contains gluten, which I work on avoiding.

Avocados are high in potassium and I usually eat 2-3 avocados per week.

Low sodium V8 is high in potassium and talk about a nice lift from a glass of this V8.

The doctor told me I should eat spinach and other green leafy veggies, avocado, bananas, cantaloupe, oatmeal and cheerios for my blood pressure , cholesterol and potasium !

I love and eat all of the above regularly !

The Dr. told me to eat bananas but avoid ones that are too ripe, that is where the higher content of sugar comes in according to him !

Low energy can be Low Potassium. Low Energy can lead to depression.

Here is an RDA guideline for Potassium, great if one can get enough in foods.

RDA Guidelines
Recommended dietary allowance guidelines vary depending on age. Infants from 0 to 6 months old should receive 400 milligrams daily, and those from 7 to 12 months old need 700 milligrams. The RDA for children from 1 to 3 years old is 3,000 milligrams each day, those from 4 to 8 years old warrant 3,800 milligrams and those from 9 to 13 years old need 4,500 milligrams. Children older than 13 and adults should get 4,700 milligrams per day, except for lactating women, who require 5,100 milligrams.

A banana has about 100mg or so. I don't care to bulk up on this fruit. I use to eat them but don't nowadays.

A good size avocado can have about 700 mg of potassium and I like avocados...

So be aware of the potassium and your foods...

I've stopped eating cereals and questioned the cheerios for blood pressure...
First thing that came to my mind is "push to sell cheerios"...

Bananas are NOT that great with potassium.

Bananas have as long as I can remember be pushed for people dealing with diarrhea, that is not my issue, actually to the contrary. I avoid bananas....
