3pm energy slump

Ask a primary school teacher when pupils are at their least attentive and many will agree it's in the hour or two after lunch.

Similarly, many adults notice a slump in their energy levels - somewhere around 3pm.

New You's Jo Pratt has cooked up a list of foods to see you sailing through the slump.
