In winter, we often feel sluggish and less alert with the weather and sickness that can follow us around. We stay indoors a little more and see less sunlight as an effect.
One way to reverse this and become more alert is to eat eggs and spinach. They both contain the amino acid tyrosine that improves reaction times and reflexes as soon as it is digested. Tyrosine’s produce dopamine and epinephrine that are crucial in keeping the brain alert.
So next time you need a pick me up, don t have an empty sugar fix, make a spinach omelette (with the yolks!) and feel yourself bounce back into action.
Please remember your plate, cup and bowl every day.
