Why Do I Always Feel Tired?

Hello all you beautiful readers! 

Due to circumstances, I wasn't able to upload a new blog post but no worries! I am back. 

In Brisbane, it has been raining for at least 30 hours and it has finally stopped. But on most days, even when it is not raining we will feel tired and sleep deprived. Here are a couple of tips and food that you must incorporate to your daily life to be able to get through the day!

Iron

Iron will help you both men and women feel more energised. Iron boost your energy level and also deliver oxygen to the cells.

Some great sources of Iron:
- Beans
-Lentils
-Spinach
-Sesame seeds.

Quick tip; Eat them with Vitamin C and you'll be able to absorb more iron into your body.

Skip Caffeine/ Sugar. 

Most people think by getting a cup of coffee will boost their energy levels, it may to some people but on the most occasion, caffeine gives you false energy because it is a stimulant.
Same to sugar, it increases your insulin level and a sudden crash just like carbs.

Skipping cafeeine and sugar will really help you stay on top of things. A cup in a day is fine, but I know some people who have at least 5-6 cups per day.

Your Breakfast. 

Most people don't really have breakfast in the morning because they are either in a rush or they just skip it in total. Skipping breakfast is not good for the body because you need food to fuel, by feeding your body with good food, it signals the brain to work therefore making you more alert.

Having breakfast in the morning really sets the body for the day. Do not limit your breakfast to protein or carbs. Breakfast is part of your well balanced diet too, make sure you have all the components.

Have your protein, antioxidants and good fats like nuts and avocados.

Eat REAL food. 

Real food means it has not been processed or even gone through anything but harvesting. Real food includes vegetables and fruits.

Alternatives to chips or crackers, have wholegrain spelt crackers which are better for the digestive system.

Fruits and vegetables give you more energy than temporary energy when you have crackers or anything that has been processed or modified.

Have Healthy Fats. 

Many people misunderstood fats, they think its the toxic fats but in reality its the fat that brings you energy and also strengthen your hair and nails.
Healthy fats gives you energy and you need the fats to absorb the anti-oxidants. Antioxidants are important for the body because it fights free radicals and keep your cells healthy.

I hope this post has helped you! 

Keep out for new recipe coming up soon!! It's my birthday on Sunday, So i am taking that day off to explore some good food places and hopefully be able to write some reviews here!!
