Welcome Back Ladies! Now that we are back in the swing of things from winter break it is time to break free from all those holiday goodies we have all been chowing down on and start living up to our New Year’s Resolutions!
Yes, our hectic schedules with school, work and life seem to take over everything and leave us feeling absolutely drained for any type of exercise or preparing a new healthy recipe by the end of the day.
Although we might sometimes struggle to keep energetic throughout our long days, there is hope that doesn’t involve Red Bull or excessive coffee runs. What about a natural energy boost? No crazy, wild fitness routine or confusing lite recipe; just following a few simple, natural and healthy steps throughout the day will help boost up your body in no time.
- Skipping or Walking:just ten minutes of walking or skipping can do the trick! (how about during a break between classes?)
- Stre-e-e-e-tch:gentle stretching during the day revitalizes the whole body.
- Natural Herbs:before you head out to class, take a few. Herbal adrenal-support supplements can prevent crashes and keep you peppy! Look for sarsaparilla (Smilax), licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and ginseng (Panax ginseng).
- Skip out on crash-food cravings:instead of hitting up the vending machines during classes, have a well-balanced lunch that fills you up the ‘lite’ way. Good examples of balanced combinations include a large Greek salad with olives, assorted vegetables and cooked chicken breast, or a shrimp and Chinese vegetable stir-fry. Yum!
