Energy The Natural Way

Frequent weather changes, a cold that doesn’t give up, stress periods, spring that takes time to arrive… all these things drain us of all our energy, often making us tired and exhausted. Poor nutrition, alcohol abuse and lack of sleep are bad habits which minimize our energies.

I will advise you on ways to get back into shape with positive energy. By breaking away from bad habits and undertaking a healthier more balanced life.

The Importance of Nutrition

Some good habits to adopt during the periods of unstable weather conditions, mental and physical stress are following a diet based on fruit and seasonal vegetables. These fruits and vegetables are rich in minerals and vitamins. Additionally, drinking at least two liters of water a day and, reducing alcohol and greasy foods consumption.

A generous and full breakfast is a good way to start the day: seasonal and dried fruit, yogurt and perhaps toasted cereal bread with organic jam or a piece of homemade cake. Another good habit which allows us to digest easier and quickly is to have a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks; to keep your energy levels up and not to feel too hungry before main meals.

Any other advice? Consuming food that is rich in magnesium, fibers, minerals, vitamin C, such as fruit and vegetables, fish, cereals, and drinking ginseng, spirulina, and guarana. These items can easily be found in herbalist’s shops also in the form of food supplements.
