Feeling weary? Try reaching for one of these fatigue-busting foods
Tired all the time? The obvious solution is to do what it takes to get a better night’s sleep but, with the right ingredients, it’s also possible to fight fatigue from your fridge. Here are eight energy-boosting foods to stock up on.
EGGS
They contain an amino acid called tyrosine, which improves alertness by promoting the production of two fatigue-fighting neurotransmitters.
MAKE IT WORK BY: eating the whole egg, rather than having an egg white omelette, because it’s egg yolk that contains the tyrosine. And add some spinach – which also contains tyrosine – to your omelette for a “double dose” of the amino acid. All cooking methods reduce tyrosine levels by about 50 percent, but avoid using the microwave, which lowers a food’s tyrosine content even further.
RED CAPSICUM
A one-cup serve contains nearly three times the amount of vitamin C you need each day – it helps fight fatigue by activating enzymes involved in energy production.
