Fight Fatigue: How Whitworths Can Help

In today’s fast-paced world, fatigue has emerged as a prevalent issue affecting countless individuals, casting a shadow over their daily lives. From the moment we wake up to the feeling of laying our head down to rest, the struggle against exhaustion can feel like an uphill battle. Yet, there exists a beacon of hope: nutrition!

Recognizing the profound impact of diet on our physical and mental wellbeing, Whitworths has made a commitment to help encourage the UK population to start eating better in order to feel better. With a focus on providing nutrient-rich snacking and ingredient options, Whitworths encourages you to join us on a journey to discover the transformative power of nutrition and how Whitworths’ range of dried fruit, nuts and seeds can serve as invaluable allies in the fight against exhaustion.

The role of nutrition in fighting fatigue:

The metabolism is a series of chemical reactions which take place as your body converts food/drink into energy. Your metabolism is a constant process which helps provide energy for physical activity but also for basic bodily functions we don’t consciously think about such as breathing, blood circulation, digestion and managing hormone levels. A healthy energy-yielding metabolism plays a crucial role in combating fatigue by ensuring that your body efficiently converts nutrients from food into usable energy for your cells. A healthy metabolism also helps stabilise blood sugar levels, helping you avoid the spikes and crashes that lead to exhaustion.

Magnesium (found in sunflower seeds) is a micronutrient found in many dried fruits, nuts and seeds which acts as a cofactor for several enzymes involved in energy metabolism. These enzymes facilitate the conversion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), providing you with a steady supply of energy for cellular functions. Iron (found in our Gastro Nuts) is also a prevalent micronutrient found in Whitworths products, facilitating the transport of oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs via red blood cells. Haemoglobin is the protein found in red blood cells, responsible for the transportation of oxygen and contains iron at it’s core. Manganese (found in prunes) also contributes towards a normal energy-yielding metabolism by acting as a cofactor for several enzymes such as carboxylase which participate in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce ATP, the body’s primary energy currency.

Dried fruit, nuts and seeds are a source of natural, slow-releasing energy which helps you to avoid the energy spikes and crashes associated with ultra-processed foods!

Whitworths is here to help:

You can see which Whitworths products are especially helpful at fighting fatigue by keeping an eye on the ‘health boosts’ featured on the front and back of our brand-new packs. This feature is designed to help you with gaining a balance of essential micronutrients which have a range of health benefits from helping you stay energized to helping boost your natural immune system!

Each Whitworths product is also extremely versatile in their uses. For example you could bolster your breakfast by adding some prunes to your morning oats.

These small additions are what makes a Nutrition Magician.
