13. Edamame
Copper and phosphorous aren’t that easy to be found in many foods, but they deserve an honorable place on our plates. Like potassium and vitamin B, they have embraced a role that many seem to have forgotten. It’s important to get in carbohydrates and proteins, but merely getting them within your body is not nearly enough. The key point here is the conversion for a resource to energy. Your body needs food not only to feel full but to constantly regain lost energy. With copper and phosphorous from edamame, you might be looking at the ultimate solution to your fatigue-related problems.
Edamame is also full of exercise-friendly carbs, not the ones that stick around and damage your waistline. Eating them after a workout, with lots of salt, will bring you back from the dad and fool your body into thinking the workout never happened. That way, you will recover just in time to finish all your remaining daily duties.
The stats speak on their own behalf, as one cup of edamame is boasting 17g of protein and 8g of fiber. These numbers aren’t just amazing, they’re worthy of Olympics-level athletes. Packing them after an endurance session is the best choice.
The B-complex vitamins in edamame are some of the most abundant in all the world’s cuisines. By packing edamame in your fridge, you will have the ultimate energy replenisher at your disposal. This delicious addition is sure to save a day or two.
