What to eat to perk up: scientists have named a natural energy drink
Coffee invigorates, but here’s the problem: drinking it on an empty stomach is actually harmful to your health.
In such cases, the only thing left to do is to rely on natural energy sources; fortunately, there are enough of them.
Researchers from Appalachian State University (USA) have concluded that bananas are a natural alternative to artificial energy drinks.
Natural energy drink
According to the results of the studies, just two bananas give the same effect as one can of energy drink.
It's all about the composition, which scientists call unique.
It contains B vitamins, potassium and tryptophan (an amino acid that regulates mood and healthy sleep).
With all this, bananas are also a source of natural sugar.
Compared to natural coffee or synthetic stimulants, banana gives a longer lasting effect.
The surge of energy is felt throughout the day, and the decrease in this level occurs gradually.
It is especially beneficial to eat bananas before training, physical activity or as a snack.
The maximum effect can be achieved if you eat slightly unripe bananas.
