These foods make us tired

Also, do you know how we like to go through mornings or afternoons (or even both)? This is not necessarily related to the quality of sleep the night before, but can also be caused by the last meal we ate. Nutritionist Zoe Bingley-Pullin gave Daily Mail Australia a summary of the foods that have the most negative impact on our energy levels.

Worst energy eaters

1. coffee

First of all, it could be bad news for all coffee lovers: Caffeine does us no good. “Coffee is not only a diuretic, it also inhibits the absorption of fluids and inhibits the absorption of iron. As a result, you have less energy over a longer period of time,” explains Zoe. Although caffeine gives us a short-term energy boost, this quickly wears off. Then you get even more tired.

2. Energy drinks

In addition to coffee, you should stay away from energy and diet drinks. “Everything synthetic has to be metabolized by the liver. It’s overworking and it’s tiring you out,” added the expert.

3. Salt and Sugar

Foods that contain too much salt or sugar are also taboo. These increase the glycemic index. The body experiences an energy surge for a short time, which quickly results in a miscarriage.

4. White bread

Another culprit, according to Zoe, is white bread. If you suddenly feel sick during the day, you should prefer to eat a handful of nuts or an apple. The expert also has a solution for those who can’t give up dessert: Apple slices with peanut butter. For lunch, Zoe recommends a salad with legumes and seeds. Avocado is both filling and healthy. Proteins such as fish, chicken and boiled eggs are also good sources of energy for the afternoon.

Finally, good news for all coffee lovers: “You don’t need to give up caffeine completely, limit yourself to one or two cups a day.” Instead, Zoe recommends green tea and a warm lemon in the morning to boost your metabolism. (CENTIMETER)
