<< Top Power Foods >>





Feeling tired throughout your day?  It could be that you aren't getting enough iron.  Here are some foods to eat to boost your iron levels!:
  • Red meats, fish & poultry
  • If you don't eat meat: soybeans, lentils, spinach, & fortified cereals.
 



If you find yourself feeling antsy throughout the day, your jitters could come from too many refined carbs—foods high in white flour (cookies, sugary cereals, white bread, etc.) and stripped of nutrients and fiber that normally keep your blood sugar stable. These foods can possibly help with the problem:
  • lean protein
  • healthy fats
  • unrefined carbohydrates: brown rice, whole-grain bread/pasta, whole oats, fruits, veggies, legumes. 
 




Certain veggies and legumes can make you feel bloated.  A few of these could be beans, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.  Carbonated drinks can up the bloating.  Try this:
  • Half the amount of bloat-boosting veggies you normally eat for one week.  Don't cut them out completely, because they provide crucial nutrients for you!  
  • Eliminate the soda and up your water intake!
