#29. Fuel your mind: food to support good energy & cognitive function, with Freshwater Nutrition
Description
Did you know that what we eat not only determines our energy levels and how we feel, but also plays an important role in our cognitive function (think brain energy!).
In this 2-part series, we speak to Accredited Nutritionist, Charity King from Freshwater Nutrition @freshwaternutrition on what foods support good energy levels, cognition, mood and sleep.
PART 1:
- Understanding the breakdown of food - what are macros and how do they count towards our daily energy intake?
- Common mistakes we see with food choices when it comes to eating to support good energy throughout the day.
- How to beat the 10am munchies and 3pm energy slump.
- How to combine protein, carbohydrate and fat to create the perfect meal or snack.
- Which foods support good cognitive function, focus and mental clarity.
Stay tuned for PART 2 coming next week where we will cover food to support good mood and quality sleep!
