BREAKFAST- First and foremost is to start your day with a hearty healthy breakfast. And by that I don't mean fast food....opting for that choice is coma-inducing! Go for a well rounded breakfast that will provide that raw fuel needed to power up your day. Healthy carbs such as Oatmeal with walnuts is one of my favorite choices because of the long lasting energy it delivers. The healthy carb gives you brain fuel and high protein keeps you satisfied until lunch time.
EXERCISE- Take a brisk walk or get on a treadmill....any type of activity will do. Research shows that exercise stimulates brain chemicals that leave you feeling blissful and more relaxed. And the big bonus here..... it controls weight and fights disease!
Score Some Vitamin BBBBs- Studies have shown that the Vitamin B12 and Vitamn B9(folate) are crucial to a balanced brain chemistry and mood. Make sure you get them daily by reaching for foods rich with these vitamins. Foods rich in Vitamin B12 include salmon, whole grains, cottage cheese, lean beef, milk eggs and yogurt. High folate foods include oatmeal, leafy greens, beets broccoli, oranges and whole grain cereals.
GET YOUR SLEEP!- Depriving yourself of the right amount of sleep can lead to many more problems than just low energy. Research show that lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems so get a full nights rest. Try to get in sync with your body's natural sleep cycle by going to bed at the same time every night and by waking up at the same time every morning. Getting a good nights sleep is the best thing you can do for your overall health and well being.
