SURPRISING WINTER ENERGY BOOSTER 🦸♀️
If the changing season, short dark days, dreary weather – and now lockdown 2.0 – is leaving you feeling lethargic and lacking in energy, you’re not alone. Winter fatigue is a common condition affecting millions of people in the UK – often setting in with the same seasonal regularity of the annual clock change.
If you’re in need of some inspiration on how to beat fatigue brought on by the onset of winter, here Lucy Blyth, wellbeing expert from energydots.com shares a secret energy booster which could give you a new-found lease of life:
Add butter to your coffee – a cup of coffee is most people’s go to pick me up every time they need an energy boost, but what many people don’t know is that adding a couple of tablespoons of butter and coconut oil can give it far reaching benefits. In contrast to a quick espresso hit, butter coffee is said to provide a steady, long-lasting energy boost without a blood sugar crash. This is said to be because the added fat slows digestion meaning that the caffeine is absorbed into the body slower. To make butter coffee just add two tablespoons of butter (organic is best) and two tablespoons of coconut oil to a cup of coffee and blend it together.
