Bananas are the next in the row of energy boosting foods. The sugar in bananas is an easily digested form of carbohydrate. Bananas also provide a lot of potassium, an electrolyte that helps maintain normal nerve and muscle function. Unlike some nutrients, potassium isn’t stored by the body for long periods of time, so your potassium level can drop during times of stress or during strenuous exercise, when the nutrient is lost through excessive sweating. Other fruits such as apples, grapes, peaches and pineapples also make great energizing snacks. Not low in calories, so watch out if you’re on a diet: 1 medium banana: 105 calories, 27g carbs, 1g protein, 0.5g fat.
