4. White Potatoes
It’s a popular trend in the health industry to avoid eating potatoes – and we have no idea where this ideology came from, all we know is that you’re missing out on a fantastic energy source if you exclude these tubers from your diet.
Potatoes contain slow-burning carbs that release energy throughout the day. Enjoy them baked, mashed, and boiled. Be careful with your preparation and serving. While potatoes are naturally fat-free, loading them with butter and salt isn’t a good idea.
Potatoes are full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They contain more than 5-times the amount of vitamin C, compared to other carb sources like rice and pasta. Vitamin C enhances cell communication and cell turnover, improving energy levels.
Potatoes also contain high amounts of chromium, a mineral responsible for enhancing insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugar levels. Add this starchy vegetable to your diet, and you’ll feel your energy levels improve.
