Feeling low on energy?

As winter drags on and on and on..... Do you ever feel low on energy? Maybe you are just coming off the most recent winter cold or flu? How can you increase your energy levels without taking in extra caffeine or sugar-laden foods?

1.  Get 7-8 hrs of sleep per night  -  Every night while we are sleeping our brain is "regrouping" from the day.  While doing so it triggers the release of hormones regulating energy, mood, and mental acuity. We need 7-8 hrs of sleep for the brain to be able to complete it's work.
2. Daily exercise/activity, especially if we get outside and move 
3. Drink lots of water (8 glasses per day) - One of the first signs of dehydration is fatigue. Ever feel lethargic or sleepy in the afternoon? Drink a couple of glasses of water!
4. Eat energy boosting foods- Stay tuned for a list of these foods.
