Eating for Energy

Reach for complex carbs (oats, wholegrain bread, brown rice, sweet potato) over refined sugar — they release energy steadily instead of spiking then crashing.

Iron and B12 (red meat, eggs, fortified cereals) are essential for carrying oxygen and converting food into energy — low levels are a common, overlooked cause of fatigue.

Don't forget hydration and electrolytes (water, a pinch of salt, fruit like banana and orange) — mild dehydration alone causes noticeable tiredness.
