Busy Festive Period? Eat Well to Stay Energized!
As the festive season approaches, packed schedules, social events, and work commitments can make it hard to maintain good nutrition. With the tips below, the Fresha Café can help you power through the holidays with positive energy and a great mood—no more just surviving the Christmas chaos!
Create Your Own Good Energy
Fuel your body with fresh, nutrient-rich foods and maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep your energy levels high.
Key foods to focus on:
- Leafy Greens: Rich in iron and essential nutrients to combat fatigue.
- Nuts & Seeds: Packed with Folic Acid, Vitamin E, and Zinc to boost energy.
Cut Back on Sugar
Excess sugar can lead to energy crashes. At Fresha, we’ve reduced processed sugars in our recipes and never use artificial sweeteners or preservatives. This helps you manage your blood sugar and stay energized!
Start Your Day Right
A protein-rich breakfast can set the tone for the whole day. Try our Devon free-range scrambled eggs with Scottish smoked salmon on toast for sustained energy and fewer cravings.
Stay Active
Regular physical activity—even a brisk winter walk—helps maintain energy levels and boosts your mood. Wrap up warm and enjoy that fresh air!
Mood-Boosting Foods
Choose colourful foods from different groups, especially fresh, seasonal produce. Fresha’s homemade soups, made daily with seasonal ingredients, are a nutrient-packed, cozy option that also boosts hydration during winter.
Practice Mindful Eating
- Eat socially: Share meals with family and friends for a joyful experience!
- Know your food’s origin: Local, fresh ingredients taste better and support nutrition.
- Savor every bite: Enjoy flavours and take your time.
This festive season, let the Fresha Café help you stay energized, balanced, and ready to make the most of the celebrations!
