Quick Tips-Beat Tiredness!

Try these food--

Eat a nut filled breakfast.  Stir peanut butter into oatmeal for ultra energizing protein. The oat fiber slows your body's absorption of carbs which gives you long lasting, slow burning fuel.

 

Combine some skim milk with fat free plain yogurt and frozen blueberries.  The antioxidants of the blueberries zap energy draining free radicals, a health plus, and an amino acid in yogurt helps energize you by increasing your heart rate.

 

Combine fat free cottage cheese with grape tomatoes and some olives and eat with 100% whole wheat toast.  This is a combo of protein, fiber and iron--this will increase your metabolism and burn those calories.

 

These few changes can take away that sluggish tired feeling.

I always find that a first-morning exercise really energizes me all day. Too bad I so rarely get to do a morning workout!
M. Bradley McCauley May 7, 2010, 3:17pm UTC
Good comment Rachel. Now if we could all incorporate exercise in our AM routines we'd be in great shape.

I agree with the comment about morning exercize. I've also found that Vitamin B in the morning helps me to energize all day.
M. Bradley McCauley May 7, 2010, 3:17pm UTC
Rachel's right--morning exercise gets the metabolism going and that helps burn the calories and provide energy. Thanks for coming by Ian.

These sound great and we definitely subscribe to "more fiber!" "more fiber!" school of thought. Some of the combinations really sound appetizing.

I think more friber is the answer to cholesterol too. Fruit, and whole grains, the best thing to do.

They are all good ideas thanks for the reminders of good things to do Mary.

Great reciepe. Thanks for sharing. Sprinkle on a little cinnamon to balance blood sugar and it's almost perfect.

Good tips, I'm saving them (Cut & Pasting to MS-WORD). Lately, whether it's tiredness, despair or depression; I ma usually worn out in the early afternoon from yet another day of job searching. Thanks hon.
M. Bradley McCauley May 7, 2010, 3:14pm UTC
Putting you in my positive thoughts & prayers for a job. I sense a very nice white light on your horizon with some very good vibes. I think by mid week--you are going to be looking at a good job offer.
Aman V. May 8, 2010, 7:04am UTC
I agree - I've had just about the same vision of our Roberto, Mary. And this time, he'll be looking at a career, not just a job - with people who'll respect and love him.
Aman V. May 8, 2010, 7:04am UTC
Roberto, let me know if you ever need energy, okay? I'll send healing instantly.
M. Bradley McCauley May 8, 2010, 8:00am UTC
Amen, Aman--yes, it is a career for Robert. Thank you for confirming. We can both send healing positive thoughts to him. Blessings to you and all you do.

Thank you for sharing this. All the items you listed here are on the special diet I was given, but I have not been too creative in incorporating them. These actually sound good and will cause me much less pain than I am dealing with, and the extra energy boost will be something I haven't had for quite some time now.
An angel once again! You are a very special lady.

High fiber breakfast and an apple for snack at about 9 keeps me going until lunch. Lunch is usually high fiber bread topped with peanut butter and jelly or turkey breast with cheese. Raisins for a snack in the afternoon and plenty of cold water.

Great tips, indeed.

So many people skip breakfast, yet cannot lose weight. Eating breakfast actually gets our metabolism working earlier in the day and we begin to burn calories, which facilitates weight loss. Some protein is very important at breakfast. It takes longer to digest, extending the energy for a longer time.
M. Bradley McCauley May 8, 2010, 8:02am UTC
Jan, thanks for reminding people of the importance of protein, we should have a combination of protein, carbs and fat at every meal. We need reminding.
Diane Huizenga May 7, 2010, 11:24pm UTC
Excellent ideas thanks.
Darlene B. May 8, 2010, 10:18am UTC
The first Walk in the morning, get my body ready for the day!
Thanks, for the food tips.
Bethany C. May 9, 2010, 1:51pm UTC
I appreciate the tips!
Ms Lee P. May 10, 2010, 12:35pm UTC
I mix yogurt with oat meal, it's gooooood! Thanks for sharing.
Connie C. May 26, 2010, 8:11am UTC
I will have to try these tips. I use the products but not together like you suggest.
