What to Eat for Energy
Want More Energy? Choose the Right Foods.
What is the first thing you reach for in the morning? If you're like most of us you reach for a cup of coffee to give you energy. Later in the day, where do you look for more energy? An energy drink, more coffee, or maybe even energy shots? These quick fix drinks may give you a short burst of energy, but at the expense of overloading your adrenal glands. You'll also irritate your blood sugar level which eventually leads to a crash.
Think of them as an energy credit card. You’ll get energy now, but often you’ll end up paying back more energy in the future.
My Secret to More Energy
So is there a way to get the revitalizing energy you want without putting your body through hell? There is - the best way to experience more energy is including fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.

I agree, they are boring. But that's because people give fresh produce little thought. There are shockingly delicious ways to incorporate these foods into your daily life.
You can learn the art of raw cuisine and give your body a two week vacation from the destructive diet you've most likely been fed your whole life with this on line raw food course.

The Sad Reality
“I haven’t had this energy in decades”
This was my first though after cleaning my body with raw foods awhile back. Then I realized something upsetting. I didn’t even realize how little energy I had because it became my norm. I’ll be willing to bet you’re the same way. Talk to anyone and they’ll tell you how “run down” they constantly feel – and because we all feel the same way we think it’s normal!
Sounds crazy but it’s true.
What to Eat for Energy
In general, you have more energy eating fresh natural foods. You’ll get the water, enzymes, vitamins, minerals and trace minerals that give your body an instant boost. But there are natural foods that concentrate this effect and are my “go to” foods when I feel run down.
5 Natural Foods for Energy
Maca
Maca is a root native to the high Andes in Peru. This root has been used for thousands of years by the indigenous people to give energy and as an aphrodisiac. If you have a sensitive stomach it is best to avoid Maca since it can be hard to digest.
Tea
Tea contains about half the caffeine as a cup of coffee. However it also contains polyphenols and the amino acid L-thiamine. These two compounds in tea make it so that the caffeine is digested slowly, and you won’t experience any jitters or crashes.
Water
Sounds too simple right? Wrong. Most of the time I feel tired, it’s because I am dehydrated.
Tree Nuts
Tree nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews contain healthy fat. This will give you an instant energy boost without putting stress on your digestive track like animal protein.
Bananas
All fruits will give you energy, but for some reason bananas give me an extra kick.
