Ever feel done in at work? Abnormally drowsy during the work day? While there are lots of factors that play a role to our energy levels, there is one constant to the western inhabitant today: a lack of good nourishment. I've been able to learn a few things that have significantly helped me to learn how to improve my energy levels. I'm happy to communicate them with you.

One of the best, honest-to-goodness fitness secrets in the world is/are healing herbs, medicinal spices, and rare, little known foods that provide continued energy not just for John Q. Public but also for the athlete. In all candor, there are scores of little known medicinal herbs and spices and distinctive foods that offer a powerhouse of energy. While you may know about the advantages of fruit for providing energy, I doubt you know about the few foods, herbs, and spices I will recommend to you that can help you get additional energy out of your body.

I'm not a doctor or a medicinal herbalist, but I've studied a lot about nutrition in the past 20 years and have read a lot about what works and what does not work. These strategies really work. Try them out for yourself and you'll see I'm telling you the truth.

Ginseng. This is a fantastic secret and supplies a large sum of energy and also it has one of the most remarkable dietetic profiles of any foods on the planet.

Cayenne pepper. Cayenne, or capsicum as it's also identified as, is one of the best health secrets on the world too. It has been established in many case studies to destroy cancer cells but it's also fantastic for the heart. Many aficionados report, myself included, that it increases energy levels. It also boosts metabolism.

Bee pollen. Another great health secret a small number of know about. Bee pollen gives a tangible sum of energy while also having an almost unequaled nutritional profile -- it literally has every vitamin, mineral, amino acid and enzyme crucial to maintain human life.

Goji juice While there have been various questionable things reported about the so-called research concerning goji juice, and deservedly so, this juice from my experience enhances the human sex drive while also providing a tangible increase of continued energy during the day.

Water. If you're hitting the wall of fatigue, think about drinking more water. This may look straightforward enough, and I suppose it is, but it can help your body assimilate vitamins and minerals better. Dehydration is one of the principal causes of a lack of energy. Imbibe water before you're thirsting. Thirst is actually a biological indication that your body is in slight dehydration. Heed its counsel and down adequate of water.

Honey. Honey is one of the greatest foods around. It's written about in all main scriptures in the world as well as the Christian Bible among others.. There are two things that are rapidly assimilated by the human body and hit the bloodstream quickly: alcohol and honey. One to injurious effects and the other with a shot of sustained energy.

Unique and secret energy concoction: Combine ginseng, honey and a teaspoon of bee pollen in an herbal tea. (Finding ginseng tea is simple enough at your neighborhood health food store.) Ginseng has a agreeable, earthy flavor that is delicious and enervating on its own but when paired with honey and bee pollen impart an avalanche of energy. Test it and you'll see.

Consume more high carb foods. Although carbohydrates have gotten a wayward reputation, the nutrient is still the body's favored source of energy. High carb fruit like nectarines, pineapples, and bananas are wonderful to eat but also packed with nutrients. A 100 gram portion of nectarines is equal to 10.55 grams of carbohydrates. Pineapple has 12.63 grams with frozen concentrated, unsweetened pineapple juice having 44.30 grams of carbohydrates. Bananas have 27 grams of carbs approximately per banana. Raisins are an additional unheralded food. A half a cup of raisins afford 29 grams of carbohydrates. Mangos are another pleasantly delicious fruit that pack a punch. Mangos have 35 grams of carbs for each mango. Pears too are great. They have a solid 25 grams per pear.

While potatoes are not a fruit obviously, they also pack a high-quality, sustained energy release due to their sturdy number of carbohydrates. The carbohydrate profile of potatoes runs from 15 to 46 carbs with the standard being around 20. Some pre-packaged potato dishes like au gratin potatoes are as high as 74 per a 100 grams per serving. Dehydrated potato granules are as high as 85 grams per 100 gram serving. Sure, potatoes are not only low in calories but have a respectable amount of carbs, are multidimensional and can taste pleasant too. That's a advantageous combination that is tough to surpass.

Are there some foods or nutrients to avoid? Of course, caffeine for one. Meat also as it does not have any carbs in it. And that consists of beef, chicken, lamb, fish, etc. Animal flesh is difficult to digest. If you want a dose of first-rate, sustained energy, don't think meat. Moreover, stay away from foods rich in refined sugar when you're sensing fatigued. Consuming such foods will only aggravate the fatigue you feel. This is probably one of the most consistent myths. Sugar or sucrose, refined sugar specifically, does not provide energy. It will furnish a very rapid spike perhaps but the "sugar crash" is something you can count on.

Okay, there it is. On my honor, those uncommon foods and spices are superb in minimizing fatigue. Try the ginseng/bee pollen/honey cocktail. It will surprise you.
