What You Eat Shapes Your Energy — and Your Mind



Most people think tiredness comes from a lack of sleep. But in truth, it often starts on the plate.

What you eat doesn’t just fill your stomach — it fuels your brain, your focus, your motivation.

Meanwhile, whole foods like salmon, avocado, berries, and mixed salads nourish your cells with omega-3s, fiber, and vitamins that keep your body active and your mind clear.

Choose foods that give you clarity, not cravings.


Eat smart – live better.
