The Slow Season

It's autumn now and temperature is fluctuating every now and then, leaning towards cold. It's the season when waking up in the morning is a like being kill-joy. There's too much fun under the doona. Aside from the food and wearing my winter gear, I don't really like cold. So if you are like me bracing for the brrrr months, here are some tips for us.

Get munching.
We all know that good carbs, such as pulses and wholegrains can help keep your energy levels stable. But, more exotic foods like pumpkin, squash and artichokes are also energy powerhouses. Eat them like potatoes, mashed, roasted or steamed.

Have a drink, of juice that is.
Juicing is the fastest way to get energy-boosting nutrients into the bloodstream. So if you’re feeling tired and in need of a sugar fix, get to a juice bar and have a large, fresh fruit or veggie juice. The instant vitamin hit will make you feel better quickly.

Lighten up.
If stress is getting you down, not to mention sapping your energy then do something light to balance it out. Listen to music, watch a film or TV, have dinner with friends, anything to have fun. You’ll be amazed at how much better you feel.

But always, it boils down to what is natural and what suits yourself. Always listen to what your body is telling you. If supplementing is required, consult your GP.
