Make Some Adjustments in Your Diet and Avoid Energy Surges and Drops

Help even out the peaks and valleys of energy levels by making some adjustments in your diet.  What exactly contributes to our peaks and valleys at different times of the day?



It is what you eat and drink plus when and how much you drink or eat that contributes to energy levels.

The best energy sources are:
  • foods high in complex carbohydrates and low in excess fats
You will find this combination in plant foods such as whole grains, legumes, beans, peas and lentils, some vegetables like winter squash, corn and green peas. These are foods that also contain fiber. Fiber helps to stabilize energy levels and slows digestion giving you a steady supply of energy throughout the day. You can increase your fiber intake by eating beans, whole fruits, vegetables and whole-grain breads and cereals.

On the flip side of this is foods that contain simple carbohydrates and high amounts of sugar like candy, soft drinks, sugary sports drinks that causes your energy level to spike and then plunge quickly. These spikes and plunges can lead to mood changes and fatigue.

Replace your sugary sports drinks with Life's Abundance Minerals and Antioxidant drink mix. You can drink one 16 ounce serving of this mix per day. It is loaded with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health. source: Lifes Abundance

Minerals and Antioxidants Drink Mix
Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy. source: Lifes Abundance

Foods high in fat can weigh you down as the body absorbs them slowly. You will feel sluggish. The body needs protein. Choose protein sources lower in fat like lean cuts of meat, skinless poultry, fish and reduced fat or fat free milk, cheese and yogurt. Beans, peas and lentils are good sources of protein.

Don't skip breakfast. Enjoy a combination of complex carbs and protein for breakfast foods. A whole grain bagel with reduced fat cream cheese, a hard boiled egg sliced into whole wheat pita, whole grain cereals with fruit and yogurt, oatmeal with fresh or frozen berries are all good choices for a healthy breakfast meal. source: Weill Cornell Medicine Newsletters, Women's Nutrition Connection

Even a Plant Protein Powder milk shake is a good choice to start your  day. Choose Life's Abundance Plant Protein Powder for a superior and nutritious morning shake.

At only 100 calories, it contains 14 grams of high-quality protein in every serving. For comparison, one-half of a boneless chicken breast, cooked is about 13 grams of protein and 115 calories.

Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is absolutely delicious and you can feel great about drinking it every day, because each and every ingredient was carefully chosen for its quality and safety.

While other protein powders use sunflower oil, we decided not to use this oil because it is high in omega-6 fatty acids, a fat that is much too prevalent in the American diet. Our Life’s Abundance Plant Protein contains non-GMO coconut oil powder, which is a great source of beneficial fatty acids that are easily absorbed. In addition, this health-promoting oil adds to the delicious taste and smooth texture of our blend.

Life’s Abundance Plant Protein is ideal for pre or post workouts, breakfast or whenever you need a healthy boost of energy from protein or a quick on-the-go snack.

With a superior taste and texture, it mixes easily with water into a silky smooth, rich and satisfying shake. Add to smoothies, pancakes, baked goods, oatmeal and more for a delicious way to increase protein. source: Lifes Abundance

When you feel a low energy episode pair a carb with a protein for an energy boost in a short amount of time without the subsequent crash. An example would be to eat a banana with peanut butter or chocolate milk.
