Eat for Energy (1)

What kinds of food can you eat to increase your energy?
你該吃什麼食物來增加活力能量？

It's the middle of the afternoon. You've been working hard all day. But now you can't keep your eyes open, and your mind starts to wander. Suddenly, a pain in your stomach brings you back to reality. You need a snack.

You take a break and go to the nearest convenience store. You stare at the rows of ships, candy and soda. But before you grab just any snack, stop and think. What food will give you healthy, long-lasting energy?

Water
Yes, water. Your body uses water to absorb the things it needs. Water also helps your cells get the things they need to keep them working. Each day, make sure you are drinking enough water, especially if you are exercising.

Almonds
These little treats are full of protein, fiber and good fats. They help you stay full. Almonds can also reduce your risk of heart disease. And they contain lots of omega-3 fatty acids that can help keep you focused.
