Top 5 tips for extra energy
Don't eat 'one big meal a day'
Don't eat 'one big meal a day' just because you always have. Eat a little and often. Big meals divert blood from the brain and make you tired.
Eat by the clock
Pasta, rice, potatoes and bread in the evening as they calm you down and help you sleep. At lunchtime eat more proteins - meat, poultry fish and pulses.
Snack attack
Have a slice of Soreen of course! No Soreen to hand? Eat fresh or dried fruit, nuts and seeds instead of biscuits, cake or chocolate and beat daytime sluggishness.
Get more good quality sleep
Try hot milk and a digestive biscuit before bed, this provides your brain with serotonin to help you sleep well.
Oxygenate your brain
Oxygenate your brain by doing regular exercise. This alleviates tiredness.
