Question: "Dr. Reed, I'm finding it hard to maintain energy levels through the afternoon. Any dietary tips for sustained midday vitality?"
Dr. Evelyn Reed: "For sustained energy, focus on complex carbohydrates combined with lean protein and healthy fats. Think lentil soup with whole-grain toast, or Greek yogurt with berries and a sprinkle of nuts. Avoid sugary snacks, which lead to crashes. Consistency is key!"
