10. Oats
Oats pack a punch of fibre and even a little protein, which may provide long-lasting energy and prevent fatigue. Choose plain, steel-cut, or old-fashioned oats, as they’re not filled with extra sugar.
11. Seeds
Like nuts, seeds may provide a convenient source of prolonged energy thanks to their carbs, healthy fats, and fibre.
A 2020 study also found that flaxseed helped reduce mental fatigue in children and adolescents with obesity compared to puffed wheat.
To boost your energy levels, consider adding chia, pumpkin, sunflower, and flax seeds to smoothies, salads, and yogurts.
