8 WAYS TO ENERGIZE YOUR DAY
Be the boss of your body and take control of how you feel, naturally with foods and over-the-counter supplements. I have researched everything first-hand, eat these foods and use these products daily now for consistently higher energy levels.
They have been game changing for me. I hope they will be for you, too.
Whether you’re poling, dancing for hours in platforms or working out, these simple tips and additions to your regime will help you get back to your power position.
Always check with your physician first before starting any supplements!
1. Marine Collagen from Amadean
This absolutely tops the list. It really works. A scoop of this fine, white powder from wild-caught fish in the pristine waters of the North Atlantic does the trick. There’s no fishy smell. I drink it straight in a cup of warm water because I want its fast-acting miraculous results immediately. If you get in the swing of taking this regularly, you will notice that you have significantly more energy and fewer aches. If you’re new to collagen, expect to see those kinds of results within 1 to 4 weeks. Best of all, your skin will look super youthful. I have not seen this item at stores. You can get it from Amazon.com or straight from the supplier. It’s about $45. It lasts 5 weeks. https://bit.ly/3ux2BUX
2. Great Lakes Gelatin, Collagen Hydrolysate, Unflavored Beef Protein
This is different from the marine collagen as it is from beef. It’s $25 a jar. It lasts for 5 weeks. I take this straight in warm water after my workout. It will take about two weeks before you notice results. And if you’re like me, and suffer from a thyroid issue, you’ll find this secret ingredient stabilizes your body and gives you more consistent energy. Collagen is a magic wand for the body and has a lot of benefits including thicker hair and strong nails. https://bit.ly/31OtKq5
3. Prenatal Vitamins by doctor’s prescription.
Physician prescribed vitamins have no filler unlike those from the stores. I take one daily and notice a distinct difference when I stop. They have kept me healthy during the Pandemic. Be sure to ask your doctor though.
4. Pineapple Juice
Juice and drink it fresh daily if you can. The bromelains in juicing a half of pineapple daily have tons of benefits: an immune booster andinflammation fighter. It helps to detoxify the body and mind. It’s incredibly great for vision. This heart-healthy drink regulates blood pressure. It is cancer protective. Plus, it strengthens your gums, not to mention the fact that it’s loaded with minerals and vitamins. Shhh don’t tell: It bolsters your libido! Though I prefer fresh juice, I always have a couple of cans on hand.
5. NatureBell Hyaluronic Acid Supplement.
Arthritis issues? This is the same stuff the doctors inject into your knee to help repair it. And it actually increases the synovial fluid in the knee cap so it doesn’t hurt so bad to move. Not only does this product help with hair growth but your hair grows back in its original color. About $35 and it lasts for about 2 months on-line at: https://bit.ly/3rSMH5h
6. 100% Gold Standard Whey Protein.
Many fitness coaches recommend a whey protein after a workout. I take this one because it’s the best price at Costco at $49 a bag, which lasts 80 days. I lost 50 pounds of fat while preserving muscle thanks lifting weights and drinking whey afterwards. It reduces hunger and significantly bolsters your immunity.
7. A ripe banana a day
…is a great source of B-6. It produces red blood cells, metabolizes carbs and fats. Manganese in bananas is good for your skin while the potassium is good for your heart and lowers blood pressure. Bananas contain sucrose, fructose and glucose – giving you a fat and cholesterol-free source of energy.
8. Handful of cashews
…in the evening especially if you’re feeling achy. Cashews are low in sugar and rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. They’re also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese — nutrients important for energy production, brain health, immunity, and bone health. They also help regulate thyroid function.
Again, always check with your physician first.
