Top 5 Energy Boosters To Add
Into Your Life
"I don't have enough energy to get through my
day."
"I crash around
3:00 every
afternoon."
" By the time I get home from work, there is
NO way I have energy left to exercise."
"I wish I could keep
up with the kids. I just don't have the energy to play with
them."
It seems that lack of energy is an epidemic in North
America. We have so much on our plates, and it is overwhelming
even to think of getting it all done.
Overwhelm has taken over!
Most likely you know that your calendar is never going to be
empty, and your to-do lists will never be short. You may want to
make a few simple changes to boost your energy so you can everything done and
more.
Think of your body as an automobile. You need to fuel
up your car by using premium gas just like you need to fuel your body with whole
foods. You can wait until the gas gauge is on empty before going
to the gas station to refill... but your car won't run as efficiently.
Your body is the same way. It is very resilient. It will work for you
unconditionally. But after a certain point, the gas tank hits
empty. Your body becomes exhausted.
Here are the top 5 ways to
get more energy and keep your tank full:
1. Drink water
throughout the day. The first sign of dehydration is
fatigue. Try beginning your day with a glass of water and take sips throughout
the day to stay hydrated. Anytime you crave sweets, try having a
glass of water instead. If you're thirsty, that means you're already dehydrated.
2. Eat a healthy carbohydrate/protein based snack about
half hour before you tend to start losing steam. This will help get rid
of the 3pm slump. Try lentil soup with rice crackers, salsa,
celery and hummus, apples and almond butter, or trail mix with lots of seeds and
nuts. Build your snacks with a good fat (ex. avocado), good carb
(ex. veggies and fruit), and good protein ( ex. nuts, quinoa).
3.
Increase your iron intake. Iron is a trace element which gives
you energy and helps your immune system function. You'll get iron from nuts,
sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, brown rice, millet, and those dark leafy greens
like kale and spinach.
4. Eat foods
that are ALIVE. Try replacing your crackers and chips
with vegetables and fruits. Their energy levels will give YOU energy. Pick the
foods that look most alive and fresh in the grocery store. Try carrots, snap
peas, celery, juicy tomatoes, spinach salad, strawberries, broccoli, oranges, or
squash. These veggies and fruits have all the vitamins and minerals your body
needs for energy.
9. Get more rest and relax.
Stress makes us tired. Very tired. So does lack of
sleep. You have to make sure to get some downtime in order to give your body a
chance to rejuvenate. Instead of pushing your body past its
breaking point each day, why not listen to it and give in every once in a while?
Try taking a nap (my favorite), taking a walk, reading a book, sleeping in late,
getting a massage... these will all increase your energy. AND they
are fun, too. J
All of these strategies can be practiced while doing a 10 day
detox. As you clear toxins from your body, you will be able to
energize as well as form new habits with your food and managing stress.

My Review:
Although I did not do the full detox in the book, I did take many of these tips and implement them in my daily routine. I traded some of my "go to" snacks for healthier alternatives and my favorite soda for water or sugar-free tea. I have already lost 4 pounds in the past few days just by replacing some of the bad for me quick grabs for healthier and more nutritious options. I do feel a bit better and seem to have a little more energy than usual. I plan to continue this and after the kids go back to school, I plan to try the detox as well when I have less distractions around daily.
I like the practical advice and step by step instructions in the book. Lisa's Renewal guide shows how to live a healthy life by taking care of yourself first. Using Step by step processes from detox to easing back into a regular eating routine. A good book to have on hand to give weight loss and healthy eating a kick start.
