Foods that drain your energy

   



There are thieves among foods, stealing your energy and harming your health. Everything you eat has an impact on your energy levels. More specifically, eating the wrong foods can leave you feeling tired and unable to focus. If you do not want to drag through your work day, try avoiding some of these foods. We unmask some of the energy thief-foods for you.
Depleted food: This is food that has been microwaved, worked up with chemicals or genetically altered. Sadly, that’s the bulk of many people’s diet. These things rob food of its life force and you end up eating what is called hungry food. Rather than giving energy, such food actually robs you of energy. And imagine that makes you eat even more. Every living thing, including humans, animals and plants has an energy body. When that energy is not spoiled, the food is nourishing and vitalising. When the energy is discharged, the food steals your energy.
Turkey: This is probably the most popular sleepy food out of there. The reason turkey makes you tired is because it contains tryptophan — an amino acid that relaxes your body. Of course, eating a turkey sandwich probably won’t put you to sleep, but you should control how much turkey you ingest.
High sugar candy: Sugary foods and candy can trick you into thinking they are adding energy when they are not. That is because when you first eat them, your blood sugar levels rise way up. However, your body then instinctually releases insulin and the blood sugar levels drop rapidly. What is the result? You crash as you run out of energy.
Fried foods: Because fried foods are very fatty, it takes much more energy to break them down during digestion. As a result, eating fried chicken or French fries is a sure-fire way to quickly drain your body of energy.
Red meat: Red meat takes longer to digest than almost any other food. This means your body needs to use a lot of energy to break down red meat than it would for a slice of fish.
