Being mindful of what’s on your plate can be a healthy and effective way to keep your energy up.
With regular exercise and good nutrition, you can maintain healthy levels of energy during depressive episodes. Your body runs off what you feed it. The best way to get the most energy from your food is to make sure you’re giving yourself the best food possible. Besides what you eat, when you eat can also impact your energy. Did you ever notice how you feel sluggish after a big lunch or dinner? That’s because your body is using its energy to digest that big meal instead of powering the rest of your body. The easiest way to avoid the post-meal coma is to eat several smaller-portioned meals throughout the day. This will keep your body fueled regularly and may even help you lose weight.
Great advice. 🙂
