Eating healthy gives you energy
Common Questions and Answers about Eating healthy gives you energy
eating
I think that eating healthy is extremely important right now. Eating whatever you want might get you a healthy baby at birth, but what about your child's growth and development for the rest of their life? I was recommended a book prior to being pregnant called feeding baby green. It explains why good nutrition is important for fetal development.
Ironically, being sedentry and lazy actually makes you feel lethargic while working out gives you more energy, so sometimes all you have to do is force yourself to work out when you feel tired and it will wake you up, give you a great boost of feel good endorphins and you'll feel energized. When working out doesn't make you feel more energized, take it as a cue from your body that something is up (your body might be fighting a cold or infection) and get some rest instead.
I'm 22 years old and 8+1 weeks. I've noticed a big difference in energy with taking my daily showers at night, going to bed an hour early and giving myself an extra 30 minutes in the morning. Also eating foods high in protein helps me. Hope thus can help you!
pre pregnancy i was a workoutaholic. i worked out 5-7 days a week for 1-2 hours a day. i'd been like that since i was in high school. my swim coach made us workout and practice 6 days a week for 4-5 hours a day (needless to say i was in awesome shape then). but since having my twin boys i have zero energy. i know i need to work out. i WANT to work out but i just don't have the energy. i do watch what i eat. i don't eat nearly as much as i did when i was pregnant and i eat healthy.
Another possibility is you are not burning enough of the calories that you are eating. You may be burning just enough to STAY at the weight you are now. The key is to exercise enough to burn the amount of calories you are eating, or at least a good portion of them. For example, if you are eating 1400 calories per day, you should be exercising enough to burn at least 500 in order to start seeing a difference.
Hope this helps.
Eat the healthiest diet you can. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. Healthy foods help keep you strong, give you more energy and support your immune system. If you're nauseated, try eating small meals throughout the day. Choose foods that are soothing and easy to digest, such as soups, broths or a plain baked potato. A registered dietitian can be especially helpful if you have weight loss or trouble eating.
You might want to see what you are eating when you get sleepy. You may be having a sugar crash. If so, slow down on the processed/sugary foods/drinks. I have found that eating a big meal makes me sleepy. Perhaps you can try eating your lunch in two parts. Another idea is standing in the sun, if you have a chance to take a quick walk around the building or even standing outside or near a window. These things may help. I take a probiotic and it seems to help me a little with fatigue...
there are some advices that will help you with some time... exercising, healthy eating, resting, the amino acid protocol can help you too.
As far as diet, what you want to do is change your metabolism in two ways -- exercise and eating healthy foods gives you energy and burns energy, and second, eating foods that don't metabolize quickly into sugar and that you digest well will keep things moving instead of sticking around. Personally, I think your diet is overloaded with dairy, which isn't digested well by most humans, but some people do lose weight eating a lot of it.
Amypops is right about introducing more carbohydrates, as they are the most important food that gives energy. If you are not eating enough complex, long lasting carbs you won't have enough energy and will get very hungry all the time.
Try healthy rice, pastas, grains and breads - these things keep you full for longer compared to meat and vegetables.
t suited to being vegetarian, as well, another possible problem. But it could be other things -- for example, do you like your job? Do you have plenty of energy for other things but just not for work? And not exercising isn't great for energy -- humans need to move, expending energy gives us more energy.
That's easy -- once you move out you eat as you like. Although organic and healthy can seem expensive, it isn't really because you stop eating things that are also expensive but unhealthy, such as potato chips and soft drinks. If you have a food coop nearby you can volunteer to get a discount. And when you're young you don't expect to have a lot of excess money anyway, so it's easier to spend most of it on food.
