It's very normal for us, teachers, to see the students complaining: "I'm too tired" or "Sorry, teacher... I didn't study because I was exhausted!". Let's fight this fatigue, guys!
I found at AOL some energizing foods and tips about a balanced meal.
Here are some of them:
Balance Protein and Carbs
To keep your energy at peak performance, pick foods that will keep you going longer than the quick, but fleeting jolt of a sugar rush, says Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, and national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association (ADA). She recommends planning meals and snacks that combine protein and carbohydrates, such as whole grain crackers with peanut butter or cheese. The carbohydrates will give the more immediate energy boost, while the protein will have real staying power as your body gradually digests it and uses its energy over time.
Eat an Energizing Breakfast
One of the best ways to start out your day with high energy is through a hearty breakfast. A high-fiber cereal paired with low-fat milk has that balance of protein and carbohydrate which is essential to staying refreshed throughout the morning, says Taub-Dix. But watch out for kinds with high sugar content, which may mean an energy crash waiting to happen.
Up Your Inulin Intake
Inulin is a fiber that keeps you feeling fuller, longer which can be very energizing, says Taub-Dix. It also helps reduce constipation which can be an energy drainer. Found in wheat, garlic, onion, chicory root, and Jerusalem artichokes, inulin may increase how efficiently your body can absorb certain dietary sources of iron, according to a study conducted by the Agricultural Research Service on pigs. The study found that a diet comprised of four percent inulin had a significant impact on iron absorption, which plays an important role in preventing fatigue.
