You know how as kids we would watch Popeye the Sailor Man gulping down cans of spinach and getting a sudden boost of energy? Or even Chhota Bheem hog on laddoos, and be ready to fight within seconds? Don’t you sometimes wish that with so much work to do and too many chores to complete, you had that energy burst too? But why just be strong for a few moments and not start feeling stronger generally? Today’s woman goes through so much both physically, mentally, and emotionally that it becomes crucial to regain all that and much more strength. Don’t worry, you can get it with the simple addition of certain foods to stay strong, to your diet!

5 foods you must consume to stay strong

1. Spinach

As mentioned earlier, Popeye got it right! Including green leafy vegetables, with immense vitamin A, will directly strengthen your muscles. It won’t immediately flex like Popeye’s, but gradually increase your stamina and you will feel stronger with time.

2. Eggs

Eggs contain a multitude of vitamins and nutrients like proteins which help in muscle strengthening. Furthermore, the increased amount of Vitamin D is helpful to the body as it helps break down the food faster and disseminate the energy faster!

3. Multigrains

Indian households usually opt for atta or rice for meals. Well, being in India turns out to be a lucky thing for once! With the wide variety of grains such as bajra, ragi, jowar, etc, available, all are very efficient in providing sustained energy to the body without adding much to the trans fat component, mixing them together with your regular atta, for regular meals, could do wonders!
