In fact, 60-70% of your daily energy requirement goes toward basic function of vital organs like your heart, brain and lungs. Have you been feeling extra lethargic lately? Do you often feel like caching a nap right after lunch? Poor nutrition may have something to do with it. Consuming the right nutrients will keep your energy at optimal level throughout the day.
