However, when your body starts acting sluggish, sore, or fighting a cold, it's trying to tell you it is under stress. The foods you're eating could be contributing to a prolonged problem of feeling unhealthy, and ultimately, not your best self.
When you're feeling sluggish:
- Power up with protein.
- Eat healthy fats.
- Always eat your veggies.
- Incorporate herbs like thyme, turmeric, ginger, and rosemary.
- Try fermented foods like miso, sauerkraut, kimchi, and yogurt.
- Reduce your sugar intake.
- Eat as many detoxifying foods as you can.
- Eat foods low on the glycemic index, like sweet potatoes, eggs, fish, whole grains.
- Try some bitter foods like kale, lemon, and green apples.
- Incorporate green or white tea into your daily morning routine.
