10 Super Energizing Foods
 
 Let’s review some of them

 
 



















1. Green vegetables
 
These little wonders of nature hide under their vivid green skin, the entire complex of B vitamins as well as magnesium and iron. These vitamins and minerals can be found in all green vegetables, the leaders being broccoli, asparagus and spinach.
The constant intake of green vegetable in a raw or lightly steamed form guarantees a high amount of healthy energy.
 
2. Whole Cereals
 
The most advertised means of a energizing breakfast, the whole cereals are responsible for an energetic start of the day. The carbohydrates and sugar in them is released gradually during digestion and that is how these smart drops from the nature’s energy boost can help a person stay sharp and still be responsible with their diet. Most cereals, such as Cheerios, however only provide simple sugar which makes us gain weight. Try brands such as Kashi and Nature’s own.
 
3. Green parsley
 
These magical green leaves that seem so benign, when considering the nutrition factor, are a vitamin C bomb. The green parsley leaves have more vitamin C than the citrus fruit. Helps with cell regeneration and energy.
 
4. Fruits
 
It is common knowledge that fruits are a food group that guarantees an energy intake due to the fructose level and the vitamins they all carry. The most energizing fruit are grapes, peaches and citrus fruit dew to their high fructose content. The most fruits have a large content of vitamins, predominant C and through it a large energetic potential.  Avoid juices as they do not provide with the same benefits as the fruits themselves.
 
5. Seeds
 
Most of the seeds such as sunflower and pumpkin are very rich in proteins and minerals and their presence in a person’s nutrition is an important source of energy. These little seeds are also a source of magnesium and iron.
The polyunsaturated fats they contain are benefit for the cardiovascular system and help the blood flow to the heart and brain.
 
6. Nuts
 
All nuts from peanuts to pistachio are an excellent source of minerals with a high nutrition factor. They contain vitamins A, B and E, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. They fight against anemia and bring the body durable energy.
 
7. Green tea
 
The ancient source of energy that comes from the Asian countries has conquered the occidental shores creating a rave of fashion. This green elixir is a source of antioxidants and an important resource of energy for the entire body.
 
8. Honey
 
The “sweetness of the world”- honey maybe the most popular food ever since the concept of “healthy” became an issue in the nutritionist’s conversation. The best energetic content in a food item is the one provided by honey. Most honey in the USA is not made by bees, however, so please find a reputable source for your honey.
 
9. Coffee
It is only natural that the brain’s “alarm clock” should be on top of the nutrition energy providers. Coffee is known to boost up the attention, increase the brain activity, and improve the disposition. It’s pretty much our own adrenalin shot available in a hot steaming cup.
 
10. Figs and Dates
 
Used since the time of the Greeks and Romans to provide high quality energy during their exercise processes. They were the “energy bars” of the old times. They also provide fiber which will help you with bowel movements, and other vitamins.
