Energizing Food for Natural Vitality
"Let food be your medicine and your medicine be your food. Each one of the substances in a person's diet, acts upon the body and changes it in some unique way, and upon these changes the whole life depends, whether in health, in sickness or convalescent."
Hippocrates 2 000 years ago.
So.... what are FOODS FOR ENERGY you ask. They are foods that provides energy and that supply the body with fuel in the form of carbohydrates, healthy fats, and proteins, while also containing vitamins and minerals that support metabolism. Choosing the right balance of these foods helps maintain steady energy levels throughout the day rather than quick spikes and crashes.
Brown Rice
- Brown rice is a whole grain that provides energy primarily through its carbohydrate content, but it also supports sustained energy release due to its fiber, protein and micronutrient profile.
- Unlike refined white rice, brown rice retains the bran and germ layers, making it more nutrient-dense and beneficial for long-lasting energy.
