Fit Tip: Food For All Day Energy!



Ever get that afternoon slump that you just can't get out of?! You're ready to leave the office, or class, and go home to take a nap... and not wake up until tomorrow. However, those days are usually the days where you need to get things done!...
Here are a few healthy foods that are going to give you the energy you need to get through your busy day!

1. Salmon.
Salmon contains a lot of omega-3s. Omega- 3s help build muscles and tissues and that will add to energy!

2. Citrus.
Most of your oranges and grapefruits are filled with Vitamin C, and these fruits will help enhance energy and alertness just from the SCENT!

3. Walnuts.
Walnuts, like salmon, are high in omega-3s. Like many nuts, they are a great energy builder!

4. Dark Chocolate.
Really, really dark chocolate will have a huge cacao concentrate. And that means that will help you fight stress, help you focus, and boost your energy! It also has a kick of caffeine, so that should help too!

5. Water.
These are so, so, so, many good benefits of water and building your energy is just one of them! If you're feeling sleepy, there's a good chance it's from being dehydrated. So your first step should be to drink an ice cold 8 OZ of water!!

What's your favorite way to gain some energy? Mine's definitely the dark chocolate and water ;)
