1. Omega-3 Powerhouses: Fatty Fish

Mackerel, salmon, sardines, and Pacific saury are excellent meal choices. These fish are rich in omega-3Ave brain function and support heart health. Studies show for active individuals that a lack of omega-3s in the brain can lead to fatigue.

2. Nutty Energy Boosters

A handful of walnuts, almonds, or peanuts is protein—and fiber-rich. Nuts are also packed with magnesium, which helps maintain energy levels. A magnesium deficiency can increase the heart rate of active individuals, making exercise more challenging.

3. Green Machine: Leafy Vegetables

Spinach, kale, and Swiss chard contain vitamins and minerals, especially folate, an essential B vitamin. Folate plays a key role in turning food into energy, and a lack of it can contribute to tiredness.

4. Slow-Burn Energy: Whole Grains

Barley, whole wheat, and oatmeal are fiber-rich grains that release energy slowly. They also provide a variety of vitamins and minerals that support overall health.

5. Nature’s Multivitamin: Eggs

Eggs are rich in protein and a great source of iron. Low iron levels can lead to anemia, which reduces your body’s ability to deliver oxygen effectively. If you’re tired, adding eggs to your diet can help boost your energy.
