The Best Energy Boosting Snacks!
What are the best snacks for athletes and sports people? And what are the best energy snacks for our children, and for our most demanding days? Let's find out which are the healthiest, tastiest and balanced energy snacks around!
Food is the main source of energy for our body. Our body has the extraordinary ability to extract energy from food, so our energy levels depend to a large extent on what we eat, but not only this, because there are many factors that affect our perception of energy.
Our body depends on a complex interweaving of functions and mechanisms, and our energy balance is not a simple calculation to make. The perception that we have of our strength depends on a wide range of factors, such as age, life habits, the level of motor activity, but also mental factors.
Feeling awake and full of strength is not just a matter of nutrition, although most of our "fuel" comes from food. Being well rested, calm, relaxed, cheerful and optimistic can greatly influence the perception of our energies. That’s why it is important to choose a healthy snack that is also delicious and makes you feel good!
A snack is a very important moment for our health: science has been telling us how healthy it is to break up meals during the day. In fact, numerous studies have shown that the snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon can reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, insulinemia, the risk of cardiovascular disease, body weight and stress.
But snacking helps above all to feel full of energy: properly distributing nutrients throughout the day is essential to ensure a continuous supply of energy. What should we eat then as our snack?
A good snack must be balanced to be healthy: let's start by saying that packaged snacks, sweets and savory snacks full of saturated fats are bad for your health. To be energetic, a snack must have a medium-low calorific content, must not cause substantial glycemic fluctuations, must be easily digested and contain vitamins, minerals and a proper balance between carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Here are the best snacks for an energy snack:
Buddha’s Awakening Energy Bars: there are hundreds of energy bars, but how many of those you have tried are really healthy?
