Summer energy is a rare commodity, and if you have been looking at your surroundings recently you have probably seen faded and powerless figures of what were once your friends or spouses.

Along with the recommendation to drink a lot of water and try not to go out in the hot hours, your diet also has the power to increase your energy and bring back a little of the spirit of life.



Unfortunately, many foods and snacks are low in nutrients like protein and dietary fiber and instead are loaded with added sugars and refined carbohydrates - not a good combination when you are looking for sustained energy.

However, there are plenty of nutritious snacks, including those that do not require complicated preparation that can lift your energy and do so in a way that will not harm your health.

Here are some good examples:

Nuts and dates

A perfect and healthy combination.

This is a combination that works both in terms of taste and health.

On the one hand, nuts are known for their high caloric density and the abundance of healthy proteins, carbohydrates and healthy fats that contribute to a constant and lasting increase in energy.

On the other hand, dates are a source of energy available to the body that comes from natural sugars.

The special combination of glucose and fructose (which is half the amount of sugar in the date) with dietary fiber found in dates makes them a natural and healthy energy snack.

Dark Chocolate

Contributes to blood circulation in the body.

Bitter chocolate that contains 70 percent cocoa solids and above is a natural source of caffeine, albeit at levels lower than those you are used to.

A study published on the subject stated that eating dark chocolate contributes to improving blood circulation in the body.

This means that more oxygen reaches all the cells of the body, which among other things makes you feel more alert and sharp over time.

Yogurt with fruit

Ready to go.

Yes, there are those for whom yogurt with fruit is considered a snack.

And the truth is that it is a healthy and delicious combination.

The high concentration of protein and calcium in this dose helps maintain a high level of energy in the body over time and even affects the secretion of melatonin in the brain - the hormone that is responsible for regulating our sleep cycles and notes.

The addition of fruits full of vitamins, minerals and a good amount of fluids helps the body recover and regain energy.



By the way, if you want to turn the yogurt and fruit into a cold and delicious popsicle, just put it in the freezer.

The magic will already happen by itself.

Banana

Maintains body fluids.

Findings from a decade ago showed that banana is considered energy-efficient among professional cyclists, with an efficiency similar to the energy drinks some athletes consume before training.

This is because the banana is rich in fiber, vitamin B6 and potassium - an essential mineral that helps maintain body fluids, a property that also contributes to improving alertness throughout the day.

Oatmeal cookies

Makes a good feeling in the stomach and brain.

Oats are rich in protein, and minerals such as calcium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, iron, and vitamins such as folic acid and B vitamins. In addition, oats are rich in dietary fiber that slows down the absorption of food and contributes to a feeling of satiety over time.

And if that’s not enough, it also contributes to a good feeling.

The reason - complex carbohydrates, such as oats cause the brain to produce serotonin, a chemical that makes us feel good and helps to overcome the damage of stress.

    There is an effective, natural and healthy solution

popcorn

One of the snacks is healthy, if prepared properly.

If you make popcorn the traditional way, that is, put corn kernels in a pot with a little oil and salt - this is one of the healthiest things you can snack on.

Popcorn contains high amounts of dietary fiber and has a low glycemic value.

This means that unlike energy drinks - it does not cause a sharp and sudden rise in blood sugar.



The glucose in popcorn is released slowly and gradually into the bloodstream and thus allows a stable and high level of energy over time.

In other words: when you snack on popcorn you will not suddenly feel full of energy - but in the long run it will definitely affect you more effectively than caffeine.

Baked sweet potato chips

A surprising snack.

French fries and health?

Someone here must have been confused.

Or maybe not.

Sweet potatoes are an excellent 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.
