Dr. Darius Schneider, a board-certified endocrinologist at Sharp Health News, underscores the importance of consuming food that fuels your body. He recommends a diet rich in leafy greens and colorful foods over quick and easy meals.
"High energy foods that are nutritionally poor don't provide the body with enough fuel or nutrients to function at its best," said Darius Schneider, according to SHARP. "Quick fix foods, such as hastily eaten protein bars or caffeinated drinks, only offer a temporary energy boost that quickly wears off and worsens fatigue. Try to replace fried foods with grilled or baked foods."
According to Sharp Health News, Dr. Schneider emphasizes the significance of eating healthily for maintaining long-term wellness. He elaborates on this by pointing out that some foods intended to provide energy often have the opposite effect. With the American diet being replete with poor choices, it can be challenging to remember this crucial advice. Foods high in sugar or containing High-Glycemic Index (GI) carbohydrates can actually undermine mood and cause fatigue. Excessive sugar consumption can lead to various problems, including aggressive behavior and even conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Sharp Health News reports that there are ways to counteract these negative effects on mood and bodily disturbances through a balanced diet of healthy foods. Consuming berries, leafy greens, nuts or seeds can alter these effects and contribute positively to overall health. Dr. Schneider also stresses the importance of regular exercise and minimizing sedentary time. He further advises staying hydrated and maintaining energy levels with water intake - all factors contributing towards a healthier lifestyle. Dr. Schneider urges individuals to opt for healthy snacks as well as meals, rather than mindlessly consuming junk food.
According to Sharp Health News, Dr. Schneider specializes in endocrinology and is an alumnus of Justus-Liebig-Universitat Medical School and University of California (San Diego) where he completed his fellowship. In addition to English, he is fluent in German, Italian, Romanian, and Spanish.
