What foods can help pick up a sluggish metabolism?

Answer by  buckytat (45)

A diet full of protein helps give energy. Fish, eggs and chicken are three very healthy ways to get protein. Iron, vitamin C, vitamin D and complex carbs also help. Eat whole grain breads, pastas, brown rice, tomatoes, advacado and papaya. Avoid anything containing granulated sugar and processed foods (like velveeta cheese and white bread).
