  In fact, nutritionists describe many natural foods that have the ability to
  help boost your metabolism and keep you humming throughout the day. Here are
  some excellent snacks that can help you stay energized without the need for
  caffeine.
</div>

<h2>Nuts</h2>

<div>
  Packed with protein and natural fats, nuts are a good way to snack on-the-go
  while getting the fuel your body needs to convert into energy. While nuts do
  contain their fair share of fat, they are the perfect package of nutrients
  direct from nature. Additionally, there is no extra sodium, cholesterol,
  refined sugars or starches.
</div>

<div>
  These easy snacks are also less perishable than most other snacks and contain
  additional health benefits.
</div>

<div>
  Considered the king of nuts, if you are looking to make a quick decision at
  the grocery store, mix almonds into your diet to help reduce risk of heart
  attack, build strong bones and teeth, and boost brain activity.
</div>

<h2>Fresh Fruit</h2>

<div>Fresh fruit can give you energy and vitality.</div>

<div>
  The reason pomegranate juice and berries are being marketed so aggressively is
  due to the antioxidant value of these foods. They essentially rejuvenate the
  body by neutralizing free radicals that could otherwise damage your system.
</div>

<div>
  Experts recommend oranges which spread sugar energy over a longer period, like
  nature&#39;s own time release capsule. Orange also add pectin and fiber to
  your diet.
</div>

<h2>Oatmeal</h2>

<div>
  The real breakfast of champions? Get the slowly absorbed carbohydrate value of
  oatmeal as well as a mixture of vitamin. Some nutritionists call the protein
  and fiber of rolled oats a winning combination for staying energized all day
  long.
</div>

<div>
  You can incorporate oatmeal into an energy snack by mixing in peanut butter or
  other ingredients to eat your oatmeal on-the-go.
</div>

<h2>Water</h2>

<div>How can water help you stay active and energized?</div>

<div>
  The reality is, staying hydrated helps you feel better and keeps you ready to
  go. It&#39;s not that good old H2O is delivering fuel to your body -- think of
  it as a lubrication for all that important stuff that makesyou go.
</div>

<div>
  All of these healthy choices contribute to a slow and steady routine that is
  less dynamic and volatile --and easier on your body from morning to evening.
</div>
