Every bride and groom needs to think carefully about what they are eating to provide the body with the energy it needs to get through the day.

Breakfast

A healthy breakfast is the best start you can give your body.  You will boost your metabolism to burn fat and calories, and will provide your body with a good energy start for the day.  Avoid the fry-up and go for whole grain foods, fruit, yogurt, skimmed milk. If you can’t face too much then something oat based like porridge not only gives you energy but will help you feel fuller for longer.

Bananas

Best snack when it comes to raising your energy level.  They contain carbohydrates but they are easily broken down by your body to give you the energy you need right away.

Green Tea

Try and avoid drinking too much champagne while your getting ready as it will make your body feel sluggish. Green tea has great antioxidant properties and a great way to keep hydrated which will help your body regulate it temperature, move energy through your muscles and prevent you from feeling worn out.  If you can’t face green tea, still water will have the same effect.

Dark Chocolate

Every bride gets brought a few goodies on the morning of the wedding.  If you are a choc-o-holic then opt for dark chocolate.  It does contain some caffeine and sugars but if you eat a small amount, the energy benefits are great.  The other pleasant side effect is that chocolate tastes lovely and makes us happy!

Nerves on the big day can get the better of you, but by trying some of these foods you will get the nutrients you need to continue through your day.  You won’t have to deal with fatigue which will make you feel better, and keep you smiling for all those photos.
