Low energy levels can make it difficult to be productive at work or to engage in everyday activities. Among them, changing your diet may come first.
Give your body right protein.
Given if you're eating enough food every day, it's possible you're not eating the right kinds of food. Protein in particular plays a big part in your daily energy levels. But not all protein is good protein. Best sources of heart-healthy protein include salmon, eggs, beans, and tofu.
Choose slow-burning carbohydrates（碳水化合物）.
Carbohydrates are an essential part of a healthy diet. Slow-burning ones can help stabilize blood sugar and promote a healthy body weight. If you're feeling exhausted, choose healthy carbohydrates that will help fuel your body throughout the day.
Eat more raw fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables provide you with what your body needs to feel full and energetic. Eat at least five servings of vegetables each day and two to four servings of fresh fruit. They are packed with vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
Avoid sugar.
Sugar gives consumers a temporary burst of energy（known as a sugar rush）. Once the sugar rush ends, most people feel tired. Don't eat candy, sweets, soda, or any other food products with added sugar, as these will only make you more tired as the day goes on.
A. However, the effect wears off quickly.
B. They provide us with energy to complete all activities.

D. Fortunately, there are steps to help increase your energy levels.

The man who could see the future
The ability to predict the future is a rare talent. American author Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), one of the great science fiction writers of his age, had such a talent. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Now that we're here, let's see what he got right.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically, he said that "mobile computerized objects" would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly predicted our world of smartphones, tables and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents' candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social implications (作用) of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Asimov had his finger on the pulse (脉搏) of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series (《银河帝国系列》). "His predictions are absolutely fascinating," Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News. "He was a genius."
