1. Grains, dairy, and carbohydrates

We tend to believe that to start the morning “with all the attitude” we need to saturate ourselves with glucose. Far from giving us an energy boost, sugars will stimulate the pancreas to start producing insulin. So you put your body to work very early! Don’t be surprised that at noon your energy levels are at rock bottom.

2. White Bread

White bread

Flours act just like cereal and products with too much sugar, plus they fill you up very quickly and prevent your body from receiving foods that provide it with healthy energy. It’s like stuffing yourself with crumbs! You don’t seem hungry, but inside your body lacks a lot of nutrients if you only eat sandwiches, croissantsbagels, and pizza.

3. Energy Drinks

Energy Drinks

The World Health Organization does not recommend them because the zombie-awakening effect it produces in the most tired or sleepless people lasts only a couple of minutes; After the euphoria comes weakness again, but stronger due to the excess sugar your body is trying to process. Plus, they slow down your metabolism!

4. Coffee

It also seems contradictory to us but, far from keeping you awake at night, coffee takes you away from all possibilities of rest, since consumed in abusive amounts due to its highly addictive components makes the revitalizing effect of caffeine not even felt in your body. One or two morning cups is more than enough to enjoy its benefits!

5. Red meat

Although the nutrients and proteins found in red meat are important for the proper functioning of the body, consuming it more than twice a week puts your health at risk. One of the factors that make red meat such an exhausting food is its slow and difficult digestion process. Believe it or not, it’s also tiring for your body to work on the inside.

6. Fast Food

Potatoes

Fast food doesn’t make you fast… quite the opposite! It’s too greasy, seasoned, and processed, so it quickly loses its nutrients; Consuming it is as if you are only stuffing your stomach with straw and that will be reflected in your willingness to do activities during the day. Eat healthy to recharge your batteries!
