The Book of Lost Energy

The reason for this is that coconut milk is full of protein and healthy fat that can

help boost your energy levels so that you can be active all throughout the day. Aside
from protein, coconut milk is also rich in calcium to protect your bones and teeth.

Remember that having a good bone structure at this age is important to boost your

energy.

Switch to Green Tea

If you dislike drinking coffee but still want some amount of caffeine in your system,
you can opt for green tea instead as it contains smaller amounts of caffeine. The

amount of caffeine found in green tea is still enough to help you burn more calories.

Another benefit of green is that the body can metabolize it better than coffee and

it also contains a lot of antioxidants.

Since the amount of caffeine in tea is lower than coffee, it is okay for you to drink

more of it during the day. Didn’t you notice that the healthy elderly people in Asian

countries love drinking green tea and they look very healthy?

Snack on Nuts

When we get older, our body’s stores of trace elements also go down. One of the
reasons why you experience a lack of energy is the declining amount of selenium

in your body. Selenium is an important element albeit forgotten as most people

focus on calcium, Vitamin D, and magnesium.

So, where you can source selenium? They are abundant in nuts such as walnuts,

peanuts, cashew nuts, and Brazil nuts. You don’t need to consume a lot of nuts to

get your daily dose of selenium as you only need a handful. Aside from selenium,

nuts also contain high amounts of healthy fats and protein. As both fats and protein
break down slowly, you end up having lasting energy.
