Energy Foods - Fight Fatigue & Boost Energy
Factors influencing energy & fatigue include: sleep, stress, hidden illness, current state of health, activity level, ageing and the daily diet. Protein, sugar and even caffeine can assist in boosting energy, although the caffeine boost does not come without side effects and the empty calories accompanying sugar don't last long. Best bets for food sources that have high endurance for sustaining and boosting energy, as well as combating fatigue come to your daily diet in the forum of Protein Food Sources. On that note, here is our list of foods that promote energy and fight fatigue based on protein grams.
