As a naturopath and wellness coach, I often see clients who are grappling with fatigue and inconsistent energy levels. The good news is that you can significantly improve your nutrition, health, and wellness by making some simple yet impactful changes to your diet. If you're tired of feeling tired and want actionable steps to revitalise your energy, you're in the right place!

Understanding Blood Glucose and Energy Levels

Every time we eat, our blood glucose (sugar) rises and falls naturally as we digest our food. Depending on the food you eat, this rise might be huge and quick, leading to feeling sluggishness and brain fog as your blood glucose levels return to normal. But if the carbohydrates you eat are buffered by protein, fibre, and even the time of day you eat, this rise and fall in glucose are smoothly controlled and you will maintain energy levels for LONGER! ⏳

Key Nutrition Strategies for Enhanced Energy

1. Prioritise Fibre and Protein

Incorporating fibre and protein into every meal can help stabilise your blood sugar levels and combat fatigue.

Fibre-rich foods include veggies, whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats, and legumes such as lentils, split peas, and beans.
Protein sources like lean meat, poultry, fish, soy products, and legumes can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, providing you with sustained energy.

Veggies before a meal can reduce how fast carbohydrates are absorbed into the blood stream, making their energy contribution last longer. **Carbs are the main energy source in the diet for most people!**

2. Opt for Complex Carbohydrates

Swap out processed carbohydrates for complex carbs to maintain steady energy levels.

Complex carbohydrates, found in whole grains, legumes, and root vegetables, are absorbed more slowly than processed carbs, providing sustained energy and essential nutrients.

3. Stay Active Regularly

Physical activity is a great way to boost your energy levels and regulate blood sugar. Even a short 20-minute walk after a big meal can make a difference to your post-meal blood glucose levels!

Tailoring Your Nutrition for Optimal Wellness
