Our energy levels are a great indicator of our overall health. This webinar will teach you the right foods to eat to have more energy!

2. To get the most out of what you
eat, you need to know:
• If a calorie is just a calorie?
• Which foods pollute, which are neutral and
which ones offer positive benefits?
• What are the best carbs, proteins and fats
for your body?

3. Group Activity
Arrange the items in order of those that provide the
most energy to those that provide the least:

4. Fruits
Raisins
Watermelon
Grape Juice
Bananas
Cantaloupe

5. Vegetables
Corn
Sweet Potatoes
Carrots
Mushrooms
Asparagus

6. Meats
Chicken
Lobster
Shrimp
Turkey
Salmon

7. Choose foods that have the highest nutritional
value as possible. These are the foods that
deliver fuel as well as vitamins and minerals.
1. Whole foods: easily absorbed by the body,
contains fiber, vitamins, minerals, and are low
in salt and additives.
2. Variety of foods: ensures your body
receives all nutrients it needs.

8. Incredible Carbs
High carbohydrate concentration helps
prevent muscular fatigue and
enhances weight loss. These carbs
are pure energy with no excess
calories. And they are loaded with
fiber!

9. Not all carbs are created
equal…
Some give you more energy
than others!

10. The more vibrant and intense the color, the
higher a fruit or vegetable’s content of
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and
carotenoids.
