How can I get more energy quickly?
It's
better to eat small meals and snacks every few hours than three large meals a
day. This approach can reduce your perception of fatigue because your brain
needs a steady supply of nutrients. Eating foods with a low glycemic
index whose sugars are absorbed slowly
may help you avoid the lag in energy that typically occurs after eating
quickly absorbed sugars or refined starches. Foods with a low glycemic index
include whole grains, high-fiber vegetables, nuts, and healthy oils such as
olive oil. In general, high-carbohydrate foods have the highest glycemic
indexes. Proteins and fats have glycemic indexes that are close to zero. One of the best hedges against the midafternoon slump
is to avoid drinking alcohol at lunch. The sedative effect of alcohol is
especially strong at midday. Similarly, avoid a five o'clock cocktail if you
want to have energy in the evening. If you're going to drink, do so in
moderation at a time when you don't mind having your energy wind down.
