Your energy level is influenced by a lot of things. And yes, food is a big part of that, both positively and negatively. That is why we have described three ways for you that can help you boost your energy level when you are feeling fatigued.
Skipping your breakfast or eating an unbalanced breakfast full of carbohydrates can make you feel quite sluggish afterwards. How come? Your body breaks down muscle tissue at night and if you don't build this tissue by giving it the right nutrients during breakfast, your metabolism can slow down and you have less energy. Are you a fan of avocado toast? Then add a poached egg, smoked salmon or hummus to get enough protein. Not only does it help rebuild your muscles, it also makes you feel full for longer!

If you eat too late at night, it could mean that you sleep less well. When you sleep less well, it can affect the hormones that regulate your hunger and, therefore, your metabolism. Therefore, try not to eat more before going to sleep. Are you constantly hungry at night? Then it could be that your dinner was too light or that you eat for other reasons, such as boredom or habit. Therefore, establish a rule that you don't start sniffing two hours before you go to sleep. In combination with other healthy sleeping habits, this can ensure that you have more energy during the day.
Cooking can sometimes seem overwhelming after you've had a long, hard day. We often make something easy, which usually consists of quite processed products. Your body is made to digest and convert food to get the energy you need. If you often eat processed products instead of unprocessed products, you are changing this process. This can make you feel overtired. Cooking can also have a therapeutic effect and is a good way to strengthen the bond with your loved ones. So try to cook yourself more often; better for your body and your mind!
