Back to knowledge libraryFight Fatigue
Do you often feel tired throughout the day? Well, you’re not the only one – in fact, a recent YouGov poll revealed that one in eight Britons consistently experience a state of constant tiredness, with a further 25% feeling tired ‘most of the time’. 1
Being de-energised can have knock on effects which can lead to health consequences. For example, you will feel less physically active, your immune system will suffer, your cardiovascular and cognitive health may decline as well!
Dried fruits, nuts and seeds actually contain some essential nutrients and vitamins which are directly linked to the promotion of energy metabolism and energy production. Because nuts also have a low glycaemic index, they can help stabilise blood sugar levels, reducing energy spikes and crashes associated with high-sugar foods. Within these superfoods, the combination of high-fibre, healthy omega-3/omega-6 fats and protein can also promote the feeling of fullness, which can help prevent over-eating and the energy slumps associated with excessive calorie intake.
