Caring for food is essential for the proper functioning of the body. With this in mind, nutritionist Andrea Forlenza, from the Conquista sua vida website, has created a list of ten foods that give you more energy and disposition. See below what they are and include them in your diet.
1. Acai
Açaí is a typical Brazilian fruit, rich in carbohydrates, which provide the energy necessary for the proper functioning of our body. Additionally, it is a source of unsaturated fats, which help control blood pressure and cholesterol. It is rich in vitamins C, B1 and B2 and antioxidants.
2. Coconut water
It is considered a natural energy drink, a source of vitamins and minerals that are important for the proper functioning of the body. In addition to improving mood, coconut water is an excellent source of hydration for the summer.
3. Banana
The fruit is a source of tryptophan, an amino acid precursor of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has several functions, such as regulating sleep, mood, and helping to prevent emotional disturbances. Additionally, bananas are also a source of potassium, and low potassium levels are linked to symptoms such as muscle weakness, cramps, fatigue, and mental apathy.

6. Green tea
Green tea is a source of caffeine, a substance considered thermogenic (it speeds up metabolism, increasing energy expenditure and burning body fat) and improves mood.

Oil seeds (walnuts, chestnuts and almonds) are good sources of vegetable protein and unsaturated fats, nutrients that reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. They also have magnesium, copper, and selenium, which help reduce stress and improve memory and energy production.
8. Honey
Honey is made up of two types of carbohydrates (glucose and fructose), which makes it an energy food, capable of raising mood and fighting fatigue.
