Tips for Energy in the Morning

Your alarm is going off in the morning and you are dreading getting out of bed.  You may have to get out of bed for work, school or just an important event.  Your feeling sluggish and wish you can just roll back over and go to sleep.  Does this sound familiar?  It probably does for at least half of us that live in this country.  Well, I am going to give you some simple tips to get your day going with a good boost of energy.

Honey

Take a spoonful of Honey in the morning when you wake up.  Honey is a good natural product that provides individuals with a great boost of natural energy when taking.  Don’t drink one of those energy drinks that are full of crap and will have you crashing a few hours later.  The natural sugars found in honey are a good source to increase energy by increasing your blood sugar levels.  A lot of athletes, etc frequently use honey to help them performance.

Breakfast

EAT BREAKFAST in the morning!  Our parents and grandparents always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  We have all heard it and they are right, breakfast is extremely important to get your day started right.  I bet the majority of the individuals who have problems with getting going in the morning, do not eat breakfast.  Eat a balanced breakfast that includes some lean protein and it will help get your day going good making you more energetic.

Multi-Vitamins

When you are eating your breakfast take a daily multi-vitamin.  It is really hard to get all the essential vitamins and minerals each day on your daily food intake.  That is why it’s important to take a multi-vitamin.  They provide you with a great boost of natural energy and help you become more focused as well.  You will also be getting vitamins and minerals you may be lacking, which will improve your overall health in general.  Multi-Vitamins will also improve your immune system, making you healthier.

Sleep Cycle

Get yourself on a regular sleep schedule.  It’s important for morning energy to get your body going to sleep around the same time each night and waking up at the same time.  We have internal clocks and once your body gets used to a consistent schedule you will begin to have more energy and will probably won’t even have to use an alarm clock in the mornings.  You will feel much better throughout the day.  Some people need 6 hours of sleep and some may need 9, but try to get on a regular schedule!

Start trying these simple tips to get your day started with a boost and I bet you will see yourself feeling much better.  You won’t be struggling to get motivated in the morning.

Chef Jay’s Food Products

Maintaining a healthy nutrition program is tough somedays. With all the high in sugar sweets and high carb and fatty snacks available at every corner, it is about time some companies are actually giving us healthy snacking alternatives. Chef Jay’s developed a line of high protein cookies, nutrition bars, brownies and chip alternatives for all of us who prefer a healthier choice.

Most snacks we are putting in our bodies and even worse, our childrens bodies are processed and full of empty calories. Not Chef Jay’s!!! His snacks taste awesome and have a great balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Every thing we need to stay healthy. So next time you get a craving for a something sweet or a potato chip, remember Chef Jay’s healthy alternatives. These snacks and meal replacement bars are great for children, teenagers, adults and even seniors.

It amazes me how many people do not eat enough protein. People…YOU NEED PROTEIN!!! You need protein to remain healthy, maintain muscle, grow muscle and even to lose weight. If you are not eating enough protein your muscle will just waste away. I could get into scientific terms but I am going to simplify this as I would to a 5 year old.

First, eat more protein. Yes, it is that easy. A rule thumb we go by is that if you are a fit person, you need to eat 1 gram of protein per each pound of body weight to maintain the muscle you already have. So if you weigh 120 pounds, eat 120 grams of protein a day. Quit crying and saying that you can not do that because you can. Quit making excuses. With all the meal replacements and protein powders and protein pills available to you here at www.i-Supplements.com, it is so easy to get your protein intake each day.

If you want to gain more muscle mass the rule of thumb is to eat 1.5 grams to 2 grams of protein per each pound of bodyweight. This gets a bit tougher but can still easily be done with the addition of a high quality protein powder incorporated into your nutrition program. It makes it alot easier to hit your protein goal each day with a protein supplement.

If you are overweight, these rule of thumbs do not quite apply. Please consult your doctor and dietitian to find out what your body fat is so you can find out what your muscle weight is. Then these rule of thumbs will apply to you.

Here is a question I get alot….what if I don’t eat enough protein, what will happen? Plain and simple, your muscle will just waste away. Have you seen people in the gym that are skinny but flabby? It is because their body is fueling itself by feeding on its own muscle instead of body fat. Eat enough protein and guess what? That won’t happen to you. Here are a few protein recommendations to help put you on the right track to that rock hard body!
