Feeling Tired?

Your tiredness could be because of this. ⬆️

Or the obvious– not enough sleep. 💤

👉🏻 But you could also be tired due to ✨NUTRITIONAL✨ reasons like:

💧 Inadequate hydration: Water helps circulate oxygen and nutrients in your body as well as helps in waste removal.

⚡ Not eating enough calories: Calories, by definition, are units of energy.

☀️ Vitamin or mineral deficiencies: Certain ones like iron, B12 or D can cause fatigue.

⌚ Poor meal/snack timing: Going too long without eating can cause a drop in energy.

😢 Eating too low-carb: Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy. Glucose can be used for immediate energy as well as be stored in the liver and muscles for later use.

🍪 Eating too many highly processed carbs: These can put you on a blood sugar roller coaster. Choose carbs with fiber and eat them with protein.

🥱 Excessive portions: Overeating can temporarily zap your energy as your body needs to put its focus on digesting a large meal.

🍳 Skipping breakfast: A balanced breakfast helps set the tone for the day, providing your body with nutrients and fuel to feel alert and energetic.

💗 An RD can look at your meal/snack quality & timing and make suggestions for how to optimize your energy levels…
So that you have the energy to do more of whatever sparks a light in you! 🎇
