To the full article
1. Coffee
You drink it mostly in the morning, but it can also help later in the day.

Most people drink coffee in the morning, but the same stimulating effect it creates thanks to caffeine, it can provide you even later in the day.
Coffee also has fiber so it provides a certain feeling of satiety, and if you drink yours with milk, then it also has protein.
However, if you are one of those whose afternoon coffee drinking may disrupt their night’s sleep or make it difficult to fall asleep, it is best to choose another item from the list.
2. Banana
Contains fiber and potassium.

Bananas contain a lot of fiber and are rich in potassium, which is an essential mineral for the body's energy production processes.
Eating a banana can also prevent weakness and muscle cramps after exertion, so it is a recommended snack not only when you feel like you have run out of horse in the middle of the day, but also after a workout.
3. Orange
Helps fight inflammation.

In one orange you will find not less than 4 grams of fiber, but also 100% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant.
Antioxidants fight inflammatory processes in the body and prevent damage and erosion of the cells, which sometimes contribute to our feeling of physical fatigue.

4. Egg
Will give you energy over time.

Egg contains healthy fats and also protein (about 6 grams of protein in one egg).
Protein is a long-term source of energy because the body takes longer to break it down than carbohydrates, and in addition, its breakdown process does not affect blood sugar.
5. Salmon
Thanks to omega 3 you will feel sharper and more alert.

The truth is that it does not have to be salmon, any fatty fish (mackerel, herring, sardines, etc.) will do the job here, but salmon is just a common and easy fish to make - so we went for it.
Fatty fish contain adequate amounts of the essential omega-3 fatty acid and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
When these components are incorporated into a balanced and healthy diet (you can for example incorporate it into your lunch, in the middle of the day) they help maintain concentration and thinking abilities.
In contrast, people with omega-3 deficiencies often report a feeling of exhaustion and difficulty concentrating.
6. Sweet potatoes
Digests slowly and does not cause sharp fluctuations in the sugar level.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent (and delicious) source of complex carbohydrates and fiber.
Both of these components are digested relatively slowly in the body, thus providing a feeling of satiety and energy over time, compared to simple carbohydrates.
Another ingredient found in sweet potatoes is B vitamins (like B5 and B6 for example), which help in the process of making food available energy.
Indeed, people with B-vitamin deficiencies often report symptoms of fatigue.
