Divided into groups of five, they hang their name tags on the baby stalks of corn at the head of each row and disappear into the field to start the dayâs work, visible only as bobbing flecks of orange among the corn tops.
Low Energy Density Foods. I get RealAge Tips emailed to me weekly and every once in awhile they send a gem. This week it was about low energy density foods and how they contribute to weight loss. When you eat more foods that are dense in everything but fat and calories â think juicy melons, pears, cucumbers, broccoli, and berries â it not only helps keep you slim but also revs up the nutritional quality of your diet.
We all know that regular exercise, stress management, and getting at least eight hours of sleep are critical for combating fatigue. It also turns out that our eating habits directly affect our energy levels, and there are ways we can use nutrition to feel more energy throughout the day. 1. Eat predominantly nutrient-dense foods. Optimal energy metabolism (the process that converts food to energy) requires an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Every cell in our body can unlock its energy potential with the proper fuel from food. If we dont get enough nutrients from foods, we suffer from sub-optimal cellular energy metabolism, making us feel tired and sluggish. The best way to combat this is to choose foods that have a lot of nutrition per calorie. These include vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, fruits, whole grains, and lean animal proteins.
