In the air, in the plates, in society... Our modern world clearly favors this chronic fatigue, by all the physical and psychic aggressions that it imposes on us.

Everything is always moving very fast and we try to adapt to this speed. What could be more convenient than a delicious little dish prepared and put in the microwave quickly? Why waste our precious time cooking when we can save it for being tired? Well, simply because these denatured foods don't do us any good! Our food is our fuel. Generally too rich in salt, sugar, bad fats and added substances (coloring agents, preservatives...) and too poor in fiber and nutrients, our diet is absolutely not adapted to our needs and favors our constant state of fatigue.

Don't be surprised if you get a big rush after your deliciously sweet breakfast and morning coffee. These two false and exciting allies will certainly give you a peak of energy, at first, but the fall will be all the harder: exhaustion guaranteed, once the effect is over. The same goes for the fatty, sweet and salty meal (the three are often combined in prepared meals and other fast foods) at lunchtime: your body will need all its energy to digest these complex elements. Digestion can take up to 80% of our energy! If fatty and denatured foods are undeniably detrimental to your energy, the following superfoods can, on the contrary, help you regain natural vitality!

Sprouted seeds are an incredible source of energy. What could be more natural, finally, since these small seeds have the essential to give life to a tree or a plant.

Maca

Maca is a root that grows in the Andes, in Peru. Also called Peruvian ginseng, maca is rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. This root raises resistance to stress.
