As National Nutrition Month continues, Sherry Flemming, RD, Clinical Dietitian at SJRMC, provides some tips on how to keep your energy level steady throughout the day:
- Eat 3 smaller meals per day, with frequent healthful snacks.
- Make your meals “mixed energy fuels." These include high fiber carbohydrates, lean protein and healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts or seeds.
- Eat a variety of colors!
- Hydrate! Start the moment you get up in the morning.
- Limit sugary foods to 2 (or fewer) small servings a day, and ONLY with meals.
- Eat whole-grain carbs at each meal, like brown rice, whole wheat pasta, corn tortillas or oatmeal.
- Eat 2 - 4 fresh fruits per day, starting early in the day.
- Take a 1 - minute stretch and focus on your breathing every 90 minutes.
