Energy Snacks!!!

So as finals are approaching most of us will make poor health decisions with sleep, food and stress. To help with the sleep and stress, try to study for a few hours and then take breaks in between. If you do not get sleep more than likely it will be hard to retain information. If you need to relieve stress or anxiety try a little exercise or meditation.

As far as the choices on food. . .
Stay away from the energy drinks I talked about in Feb. They only provide high amounts of sugar
and cause a bad crash afterward.
Try to avoid the cheap fast-food that will be fast and convenient, but harmful later.
Instead of eating heavy or those unhealthy vending machine foods at 1am, pack a snack to take
with you.

Here are some snacks to help with hunger and the fight to learn as much information before those huge finals! These are Energy Boosting Snacks according to WebMD.com.

Fresh bananas and apples (1piece of fruit or 1 cup of fruits or berries)
Cereal and yogurt 6 ounce yogurt
Popcorn (low-fat)
Half a turkey sandwich
Red peppers and hummus (veggies and 1/4 cup of hummus)
Almonds and Walnuts 1 ounce
Soy crisps 1 serving bag

I know I will be taking these tips into consideration for the next week and hope I do not add stress or loose too much sleep!

What will you be doing to avoid unhealthy options in a time-crunching week?

Are you Drained or Relieved By Crying?

Some people see crying as a sign of weakness or a puncture to their pride. Others use crying to feel relieved or show emotion. For me I used to bottle up my emotions and I did not cry for two years once. Then something traumatic happened in my life and I cried day after day because I had so much repressed emotions. After that experience I realized that crying can be somewhat draining at times but allows a person to experience hurt and they relief. This can, in turn be an energy booster instead of depressed or angry emotions bottling up.

How does crying make you feel?

Cleansing Program

People sometimes have a hard time dealing with gas, constipation, bloating and digesting food. If this is you or someone you know someone is experiencing any of these symptoms, then you may have decreased energy. Everyone's body reacts to what we eat differently no matter what type of food we eat. Yes it is unfair that some people have a digestive system of a king or a metabolism of a non-sleeping garbage disposal. Let's face reality though, even if we change our eating habits or find other ways to help our metabolism, we may need to resort to other options.

CLEANSING PROGRAMS!!!
Detoxing cleansing products potentially scare people or keep them skeptical of trying the week process. I was even scared to try the process because I did not know the facts. I looked into the information more through the Internet and my own doctor. The body can poison itself by autointoxification. An example of this would be the colon for instance. Overtime the feces gets hard and collects toxins yet will not release. This process poisons the body and can cause disease or disorders.

Once the body is introduced to a detoxification system, the body will release the toxins and start functioning properly again, or at least improve. Now this is not just with the colon. Every organ in the body can use cleansing for function improvement. Most of these body cleansing systems are between a few days to a two week process. If you are looking to cleanse the whole body, the programs are longer because the targeted organs are scheduled through pills over the days. If you are interested in just cleaning one part, there many available.

Head over to the closest GNC and see if there are any systems you would be interested in trying. The employees there can help explain more details to the program as far as the eating habits while taking the cleanser. If cleaning out your body makes your organs function better you will experience an energy boost!

Have any of you tried a detox system?
