Is the rhythm of the start of the school year difficult to take? This super food helps find your energy.
Goodbye in the morning, random meal hours and intoxicating landscapes … Back to a more framed routine. Not necessarily unpleasant, but sometimes difficult to collect. Fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbances, lack of motivation … Back to school weighs on morale and the body. Good news: there are simple solutions to readjust. Among them, a food that we don’t always think of. You are not alone in the face of this situation. Moreover, some people are betting on sport, others on a gradual recovery in awakening or moments of relaxation. These methods work, but another strategy exists: it goes through the plate. Here are on stage … Lentils. Green, black or coral, they are real allies to avoid pump strokes and find energy.
For what ? Because they contain 8 grams of protein per 100 grams, or 15 % of daily needs, according to Rachel Frély in his book Food-burning food (ed. Larousse pocket). An excellent alternative to meat for vegetarians. They are rich in fiber (4 grams per 100 grams cooked) and display a low glycemic index. Result: sustainable energy, less cravings and therefore less risk of overweight. They also provide minerals, B and E vitamins, as well as trace elements. In short, your body loves them.
Integrate them into your menus at least twice a week: in a salad, accompanied by carrots, poultry or fish … Good to know: the lenses are made up of soluble fibers, that is to say that they hold water. Thus, a raw portion of 60 grams is equivalent to a baked portion of 180 grams. This will save you from cooking for the whole village! Unless you want to share their super-power with the greatest number.
Finally, their cooking is fast, which saves time and energy. Perfect for attacking the start of the new school year and keeping motivation throughout the year!
