Melatonin Supplement

2009-06-02T10:44:00.000-07:00

Melatonin is a hormone that is found in all biological organisms. Melatonin in humans is produced by the pineal gland which resides inside the brain. It helps the body know when it’s time to sleep or when it’s time to wake up. Melatonin is released at night or in the dark and sort of instructs the body that it is time to sleep. Young and middle-aged adults usually produce about 5 to 25 micrograms of melatonin per night. This level declines as a person ages and this is reported to be the reason why older persons have difficulty sleeping.

Good news is Melatonin can be supplemented !

Increase Your Energy Levels in 5 Steps

2008-09-03T16:26:00.000-07:00

First, make sure you are sleeping enough. That's energy 101. No sleep= no energy. An average adult needs somewhere between 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Any more and you'll be tired, too little and you'll also be tired. You can also try taking a small power nap during the day too. A power nap is 15-20 mins long no more!

Second, make sure you are eating well enough. You should be eating a balanced healthy diet. No twinkies or ding dongs. They don't give you energy. Good healthy foods with the proper mix of carbs, protein and good fats. Fish is a great energy providing food and also if you get tired at work you can snack on nuts. Nuts are great energy foods and they have good fatty acids in them as well, much better than munching on a donut. Also drink plenty of water!

Third, you should be taking a multi vitamin. Make sure your multi vitamin has a good B complex mixed into it. If it doesn't, you need to add that to your diet. Coq10 is also a great vitamin for energy levels.

Fourth, add exercise to your daily routine. Exercise will definitely keep up your energy levels. I will warn you as you're getting into shape, you'll feel a little sluggish, but after a week or so you'll have increased energy levels and actually look forward to going to the gym. Cardio and yoga are great energy boosting activities. Also make sure you are taking in a good amount of protein on the days that you go to the gym. You'll need it.

Now if you've done all of this and still need more energy, try taking energy supplements. Energy drinks are the best way to get a quick increase of energy without any effort. Don't go after the ones you find in the stores though. Most mainstream energy drinks will just make you crash later on in the day because they are too high in caffeine and sugar. Energy drinks that are low in sugar and caffeine and rely on vitamins and antioxidants to give boosts in energy, are much better for you and will give you a sustained boost of energy. FRS is the best healthy energy drink out on the market if you're looking for a quick increase of energy without the crash.

Relax and Increase Your Energy

2008-07-20T14:05:00.000-07:00

Stress, whether you want it to or not, is an ever present factor in most American's lives. Did you know that stress takes a drastic toll on your energy levels? Stress will tire your muscles out, keeping them tense all day long. This can lead to tension headaches, irritability and most of all fatigue.

The simplest answer to getting rid of your stress related fatigue is to RELAX. Take a few minutes, smell the roses, play with your kids, take the dog for a walk, anything to calm down and relax. If you have 15-20 minutes a day, try meditation and yoga. This is the best way to reduce stress and make leaps in your energy levels.

Energy Bars

2008-07-16T09:23:00.000-07:00

Energy bars can be a great pick me up during the day and are definitely more healthy than snacking on a king size Snickers, but with so many energy bars on the market which one is best? The first question you've got to ask yourself is, what exactly do you want to use this bar for? Is it just a snack to enhance your energy levels, is it a pre/post-workout energy boost, or are you using this as a meal replacement? Once you've figured out what you'll be using the bar for you'll be able to pick out which type of bar you want.

Energy Bars

If you want a bar strictly to enhance your energy levels, then you should look for a bar that is from 100-200 calories. Don't pick a bar higher than 200 calories unless you plan on using it as a meal replacement, or you'll start gaining weight. It is also important to watch the amount of sugar in the bars, too much sugar is not good for you and adds unnecessary calories. Many people eat energy bars that are loaded with sugar because they think its a healthy alternative to a candy bar, in reality it could be worse. The bar should contain at least 3 grams of fiber and a good amount of protein (5 grams at least). Bars that contain whole grains, dried fruits and nuts are the best for providing energy throughout the day. For a look at some of the best energy bars on the market see Energy Equipment.

Workout Energy Bars

If you're an Athlete and you don't want to lose any weight or muscle you should pick an energy bar that contains 200 to 300 calories as a pre/post-workout energy boosting snack. Don't just pick your bar according to calories though. The source of those calories is very important. Athletes should pick bars with limited amounts of sugar and focus more on protein. The bar you choose should have between 10 and 20 grams of protein in it. This will aid in muscle growth and repair after a hard workout. For a look at the best workout energy bars on the market see Energy Equipment.

Meal Replacement Bars

If you want a bar to replace a meal, you need to check the calorie content. A bar with 100 calories will have you running to the vending machine in a few hours. Try a bar with no less than 250 calories as a meal replacement. It is also important to look at the protein levels in the bar. Meal replacement bars should have higher levels of protein in them, at least 15 grams. Higher levels of protein will fill you up and give you a great energy boost. You should also choose the bar with more fiber. Fiber will also help you feel fuller longer and is an important part of any diet. When using meal replacement bars, it is also advisable to add a piece of fruit to the meal. Fruit will add minimal calories, but is a great source of vitamins and nutrients and will also help boost your energy levels. For a look at some of the best meal replacement bars available to you see Energy Equipment.

Yoga for Energy

2008-07-01T09:08:00.000-07:00

Yoga is a great energizing activity. Yoga has the fitness benefits of exercise and the relaxing benefits of meditation. Yoga can help you learn to balance the energy within you. The energy within you is a powerful force and can do much more than the energy provided to you by a power bar. Balancing your energy with yoga will give you energy all day, without the crash later on in the day.

Practicing yoga once a day or even a couple days a week will help release tension and clear blockages. This will allow energy to flow freely, creating an overall sense of vitality and well-being. Yoga poses release energy and also keep us from expending energy where it isn't needed. Often our bodies waste energy on the tensions in our body. Yoga releases and relaxes those tensions and your body isn't unnecessarily wasting energy supporting that tension.

The Added Benefits of Yoga

Yoga will also help you relieve stress due to its calming and relaxing abilities. Stress is a great energy waster in our lives and honestly just not a fun thing to deal with on a daily basis. Yoga will also tone muscles helping you out in your fitness goals. You'll look great in that new dress or down at the beach this summer. Yoga also increases blood flow which not only helps with increasing your energy levels but can also help many medical problems.

Any way you look at it yoga is a beneficial activity to add to your daily routine. Energy can be found in many different products, but yoga remains one of the most natural and effective ways to balance the energy in your body, giving you the ability to maintain all day energy. Also if you like yoga, try meditation!

Energy Supplements

2008-07-01T08:39:00.001-07:00

Supplements are an easy way of adding energy to your day. From caffeine to herbal supplements there are many different products on the market for you to choose from. You may be asking yourself which type of supplement is right for me? To aid you in your decision a list of different types of supplements has been compiled below.

Caffeine/Stimulant Products

Caffeine products are the most commonly used energy enhancing supplements used. Instead of taking the time to drink a venti mocha latte from Starbucks, down a couple caffeine pills and you're good to go. Moderate use of caffeine based stimulants will give you a nice boost when you really need it, but it isn't recommended to become reliant on these pills for a daily basis. Too much caffeine isn't necessarily good for you, but the occasional use won't produce any bad side effects. For good caffeine based products see Energy Equipment.

Herbal Energy Enhancers

Herbal energy enhancers are more commonly recommended for daily use. These usually last longer and don't have some of the negative side effects that caffeine based stimulants. Such supplements usually contain ginseng, maca, Co-Q10, and B vitamins. Ginseng comes from an Asian root and is a very common ingredient in energy supplements. B vitamins are probably one of the best ways to give you an extra boost of energy, especially when they are first taken. For good herbal energy enhancers see Energy Equipment.

Energy Drinks and Energy Bars

Energy drinks and energy bars have gained massive popularity over the past decade. Big names like Monster, Red Bull and Rockstar have taken the market by storm. So many energy boosting products have flooded the market lately that it is difficult to know which product is best suited for you. See our Energy Bars and Energy Drinks to get a peek at the best products on the market.

Meditation Away Your Energy Problems

2008-07-01T08:19:00.000-07:00

Want a way to restore your energy halfway through the day without having to take a nap? Meditation is the answer for you. Meditation will help restore your energy, rejuvenating your body and leave you feeling calm and ready to face the rest of the day.

Meditation is different then sleep. Its a different kind of deeper relaxation. During meditation, the mind is able to rest more intensively and concentrated, than it is with sleep. Meditation will help calm the mind, relax the body and refocus the energy you already have. Although meditation cannot replace sleep, it can help to reduce the amount we need.

The benefits of meditation are boundless, but some include: higher energy levels, better concentration throughout your daily tasks and work times, and reduced stress levels. Meditation is one of the best stress reducers and is even used in hospitals for that purpose. Through your meditations, you may even gain new insights on your life and the people around you. Meditation is also often used for religious or spiritual purposes, so feel free to add that to your meditation routines, you'll still get the same energy boosting results and may gain more personal or spiritual insight.

For whatever purpose you use it for, meditation is one of the best known methods for restoring energy without sleep. Now, add this to the sleep routine talked about in Sleep Solutions and you'll optimize not only your energy levels, but the time you spend refilling those levels. Also if you like meditation, try yoga!

If you'd like more information on how to meditate, different types of meditation methods, and meditation equipment see our Meditation Products.

Exercise Solutions To Your Energy Problems

2008-07-01T07:44:00.000-07:00

Want to boost your energy levels with just a few minutes worth of work a day? Exercise is the answer you've been looking for. Working your body regularly will help you feel more energized. Studies also show that exercise helps you have a more restful sleep and fall asleep faster, leaving you pumped up and ready to go by morning.

The key is to exercise when you feel tired. Now most tired people do not want to go out and exercise, but if you push yourself to do even 20 minutes of light exercise you'll walk away feeling more awake and energized than you were before and will be able to carry that with you all day.

In general, it is best to exercise 3-5 times a week, incorporating cardio along with light lifting or a calming activity such as yoga (To learn more about the benefits of Yoga see Yoga for Energy). This is what most experts will usually recommend and is probably the healthiest choice. If you are interested in learning how to maximize your workout see our Exercise Equipment and Guides.

However some of you out there just don't have time do do this. You work a full time job, pick the kids up from school, drop the kids off at practice, cook dinner, clean house and amidst all of this you're supposed to find time to exercise for a full 30 minutes, 3-5 days a week? Sometimes, this simply cannot be done, but there is a solution. You won't drop 6 dress sizes, but you will boost your energy levels throughout the day. If you are interested in dropping a few dress sizes see our Weight Loss for Energy.

The key, take 15-20 minutes during the day to do light exercise. During your lunch, walk around the block, or up and down stairs, mow the lawn on the weekend, work in the yard, even 15 minutes of yoga can help. Pick a time everyday when you will perform your exercise and try to do it 4 times a week. Don't skip more than one day a week and you'll form the habit easier and feel energized longer.

Nutrition Solutions To Your Energy Problems

2008-07-01T06:43:00.000-07:00

Food is the second most important source of energy for the human body. The energy in food sustains us throughout the day. The types of food we consume also have an effect on energy levels. It is crucial to eat the right foods. Nutritious well-balanced meals are essential in maintaining sufficient energy levels all day.

All in Moderation

Carbohydrates and fats are a good source of energy, but it is important to minimize the amount consumed. Heavy meals tend to do more harm than good and you'll find yourself wanting to take a nap after lunch break. The overconsumption of fatty foods and carbohydrates may also cause you to carry around some unwanted extra baggage. For weight loss information see Weight Loss For Energy.

The Power of Omega

Foods that are high in good fatty acids are a nice option to incorporate into your diet. Monosaturated fats such as omega-3 and omega-6 are good choices. These fats will provide you with needed energy and as an added bonus they have many healthy side effects; increase memory capacity, lower cholesterol, reduce risk of heart disease and some reports even claim reduce the risk of some types of cancer. Fish Oil and Flax Seed Oil are high in good fatty acids and are great to add to your diet. Eating fish once or twice a week will provide you with essential fatty acids and also help reduce the risk of heart disease and cholesterol. For great fish recipes see our Healthy Recipes.

Energy Snacks

If you're looking for an energy boost during the day, steer clear of caffeine and sugar products which give you an initial energy high and then send you into a downward spiral. Instead try adding a small portion of nuts as a mid-day snack. Nuts, contrary to popular belief, are not as fattening as most people think. Yes, they do contain fat, but the fats are monosaturated and much better for you compared to the saturated fats contained in that bag of Doritos you've been eying. So pack some walnuts, almonds or a couple spoon fulls of peanut butter to take with you to work as a nice mid-day snack.

Meat

Proteins also need to be incorporated correctly into your diet. Although proteins are not high energy foods, they are essential nutrients needed to maintain the proper functioning of your body. Proteins provide amino acids which build and repair muscle, skin, bones and organs. Meat is an excellent source of protein. Salmon is probably one of the best. Salmon is rich in good fats, low in calories and loaded with protein. Turkey, Chicken, and Beef are also excellent meat choices. For healthy protein rich recipes see our Healthy Recipes.

Consumption

The way meals are consumed is an important factor. Most people take the traditional route and eat three meals a day accompanied by snacks and possible deserts. Research has shown that eating about 5 small meals a day provides better stamina. Your energy levels won't rise and fall as dramatically because your meals are closer together. You'll have a steady intake of fats, proteins and carbohydrates throughout the day keeping your levels somewhat constant without the sharp rise and fall of the three meal a day format. This will also keep you from wanting to snack all of the time, and might help you drop a few extra pounds. For great meal plans and recipe books see our Energy Equipment.

Sleep Solutions To Your Energy Problems

2008-06-30T20:41:00.000-07:00

The most important source of energy is sleep. Everyone has to sleep. As much as we'd like to cut out some sleep to get in a few more hours of work or play, eventually it will catch up to you. The average adult has to sleep 6-8 hours a night, there really is no way around it. However, some people find that even after 8 hours of sleep they still feel tired and run down. This isn't a problem with the amount of sleep that you're getting, but the quality of the sleep you get.

Sleep Environment

To start make sure you give yourself a fighting chance, try to provide the best sleep environment possible. Pillows are important. First off, make sure you change out your pillows every 18 months. Microbes, bacteria, and dust will settle into pillows, allowing it to double its weight within just a few years. If your pillow is old, go get a new one. Make sure that the pillow provides you with enough support. There are many new memory foam pillows out on the market that are excellent for that. The key is to find the one that is best for you. For a look at a few of the best pillows on the market see our Sleep Enviroment Equipment Section.

Mattresses are also important. If you find yourself falling towards the middle of your bed every night, try flipping the bed over. The other side might be a little firmer in the middle. If that doesn't work, break down and buy yourself a new mattress. If you can't afford a new mattress at the moment, think about getting a mattress pad to put on top of your bed. A new mattress pad will provide you with a little more cushion and might not have you rolling to the center of the bed every night. To see a selection of mattresses and mattress pads see our Sleep Environment Equipment Section.

Finally make sure you have a calm, quiet environment to sleep in. Some of you may not be able to help that, noisy neighbor in the apartment above you, cars racing outside, screaming kids, etc. In this case, I suggest you buy yourself a nice pair of earplugs, available at your local drug or grocery store. Some people also find it helpful to have a noise machine to calm you while you fall asleep, With most machines you can choose from rain forest sounds, the ocean, crickets, even city sounds. For a selection of great sleep machines see our Sleep Environment Equipment Section.

Sleep Aids

If you still have a problem falling asleep, even after you've changed out the pillow, the mattress and the noise, try helping yourself to sleep with some mild non-addictive sleep aids. Melatonin is sold at most local drug stores as a supplement, and will aid you in falling asleep. Tylenol PM is also a mild sleep aid, but be warned too much acetaminophen could eventually deteriorate your liver. If the melatonin doesn't work I suggest using Simply Sleep, its from the makers of Tylenol PM, its just missing the acetaminophen. These sleep aids are gentle. They won't knock you out completely and aren't addicting, but they should help you get the sleep you need. For a complete list of sleep aids and other energy supplements see our Energy Equipment Section.

Time and Naps

Once your environment has been set its time to figure out how much sleep you need. Most people find they don't need exactly 8 hours of sleep as long as the quality of sleep is good. A lot of people find it helpful to sleep about 6 hours a night and take a couple of 10-15 minute power naps throughout the day. If you wanna try the 6 hour a night route make sure when you wake up in the morning to open the shades and let the sun hit your eyes. This will produce a natural response in your body and help you wake up faster. A little cold water in the face also helps, just don't let yourself lounge around in the morning, get up and get going or you'll start to feel tired. When you take a nap, make sure its short 10-15 minutes. This will keep you from falling into rem sleep. Once you fall into that it'll be much harder to wake up and you might feel more tired after your nap than before. Taking naps throughout the day should also help boost your energy levels, you'll give your body a couple of times a day to try and boost its energy lessening the energy slumps you normally feel after lunch or after work.

Sleep Solutions To Your Energy Problems

Sleep is the most obvious answer to getting higher energy levels. It is important to get the right amount of good quality sleep. Most adults need 6-8 hours of sleep every day. Too much and you wake up with a headache and feel tired all day, too little and you'll have to drag yourself out of bed. The key to optimizing your energy through sleep is figuring out how much you need. Not everyone is the same. A good sleep environment is also important. Just because you've been in bed for 8 hours doesn't mean you've had good quality sleep. Everything is a factor and you have to make sure the environment you're sleeping in is a good one. Sleep aids can also help. For the complete solution to your sleep related energy problems see Sleep Solutions or Sleep Secrets.

Nutrition Solutions To Your Energy Problems

Nutrition is also a very important source of energy. If you don't eat, you won't have any energy. It is also important to eat the correct portions and variety of foods. Eating a lunch of Doritos, a Big Gulp and Twinkies, is the equivalent of putting vegetable oil in your car. It just won't work, after a short sugar rush you'll end up spending the rest of your day in a deficit of energy. The key to optimizing your energy levels through proper nutrition lies in well-balanced meals. This means adding carbohydrates, fruits, veggies, protein and good fats to your diet all in moderation. For the complete solution to your nutrition related energy problems see Nutrition Solutions.

The key is to get the proper amount of exercise incorporated into your day.

Tired of Being Tired?

2008-06-30T13:26:00.000-07:00

A lack of energy can be caused by many things. Listed below are a few reasons people feel tired throughout the day.

Sleep

Sleep is of course, the number one reason people feel tired. A complete lack of sleep will cause a complete lack of energy. Sleep and energy go hand in hand. Of course, you may be getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night and still feel tired throughout the day. This is what we call a lack of quality sleep and can be caused by many things including, sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or sleep walking, and a lack of a good sleep environment. It may also be that you are getting too much sleep. As weird as it sounds there is such a thing as too much sleep, people are not meant to sleep 12 hours a day. To see the complete solution your sleep related energy problems go to our Sleep Solutions.

Nutrition

The way we eat is also very important. Food is the fuel that provides your body with energy. The types of food we consume have an effect on the energy level, so it is crucial to eat the right foods. Nutritious well-balanced meals are essential in maintaining sufficient energy levels throughout the day and providing you with all day energy. Twinkies and Ding-Dongs do not count as sufficient energy sources and will only crash your body's energy levels. To learn how to provide your body with the right amount of high quality fuel and keep your body pumping all day long go to the Nutrition Solutions.

Exercise

Have you ever noticed you seem more energized after exercising? Exercise is a great way to improve energy levels and keep you from falling asleep during those boring corporate meetings. Working your body regularly will help you feel more energized throughout the day. Studies also show that exercise helps you have a more restful sleep and fall asleep faster, leaving you pumped up and ready to go when your alarm clock goes off in the morning. To learn about the energizing benefits of exercise go to our Exercise Solutions.

Easy Flax Muffin Breakfast

2008-06-18T14:13:00.000-07:00

This is an easy healthy breakfast recipe that will keep you satisfied and energized well into the lunch hour.

Ingredients (Serves 2)
4 eggs
4 slices of turkey bacon
2 flax muffins
1 Grapefruit
Pam
Splenda

To start off warm up a pan, spray with Pam and begin cooking the eggs. You can cook the eggs anyway you like. I prefer over-easy myself.

Cook the eggs to completion, set aside and begin cooking the turkey bacon. Don't worry about the eggs getting cold, turkey bacon cooks in less than five minutes.

As the turkey bacon cooks, get the grapefruit ready. Slice the grapefruit in half, and sprinkle the top with splenda, not sugar. Sugar adds unnecessary calories to the meal and will only give you a drop in energy later. (Make sure to serve the grapefruit with a spoon!)

The bacon should be getting close to done by now. As a final step I like to heat up my muffin for about 15 seconds in the microwave. The warm muffins taste a bit better.

By now your meal should be done. Place everything on a plate, don't forget the salt and pepper, serve and enjoy!

One of the healthiest meats available is turkey. Here are some of our favorite Turkey recipes.

Turkey Burger

2008-06-16T07:04:00.000-07:00

Turkey meat is an excellent source of energy and is low in fat making it more suitable for burgers than ground beef. This meal is sure to pack an extra punch of energy into your day.

Ingredients for Two

2 Turkey Burger Patties

Lettuce (your choice, Romain works best)

1 Tomato

Barbecue Sauce

2 Whole Wheat Buns

2 Slices of Soy Cheese (I use pepper jack for the burgers, but American and Cheddar works fine as well)

Seasoning (use your favorite burger seasoning)

To start, if the patties are frozen, defrost them using the defrosting cycle on the microwave for about 5 minutes. Running them under hot water for a few minutes has pretty much the same effect. Heat your pan up, and make sure you spray with Pam, so the burgers won't stick (No, don't use butter. It may taste better, but Pam is not as full of calories and fat)

After the pan has heated up, place both turkey burgers on and sprinkle with seasoning (Not too much, too much sodium isn't good for you.) When the turkey burger patties are done cooking they'll be a nice brown color and brown all of the way through, make sure there is no pink left.

Cooking the burgers will take awhile, so now is the perfect time to turn your attention to the tomato and lettuce. Slice the tomato until you have enough for your burger and wash and cut the lettuce.

Warm up the buns. I find it best to toast them slightly in the toaster oven. Add a little bit of the barbecue sauce to your buns and you're nearly done.

Now the turkey burgers are probably done. Before you remove them from the heat, put the soy cheese on top of them and allow the cheese to melt slightly.

Then remove the burgers and add to the buns. Place the tomatoes and lettuce on top of the pattie, cover with the top bun.

Serve and enjoy! You're now ready to enjoy a delicious meal and boost your energy levels.

Lemon Tilapia

2008-06-09T19:57:00.000-07:00

Lemon Tilapia Fish with Organic Quinoa

This is a quick healthy meal that is loaded with good nutrients and protein. This meal will definitely boost your energy levels and tastes fabulous.

Ingredients

2 Tilapia Fish Fillets

2 Lemons

2 Teaspoons of Oil

2 Garlic cloves

1 Teaspoon of Basil

1 Teaspoon of Lemon Pepper seasoning

Dash of Salt

Butter

¼ Cup of Water

1 cup of Organic Quinoa (available at your local health food store or Trader Joes)

2 cups of Water

1 Chicken Bullion Cube

1 ½ cups of Broccoli

½ cup of corn

To start off you'll want to make the marinade for the fish. Juice one lemon and place in a bowl with the ¼ cup of water and oil. Mince the garlic and add to the liquid ingredients, also add the basil, lemon pepper seasoning and the salt. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a fork. Once the marinade is mixed, cover fish and allow to marinade for at least 2 hours. For best results marinade over night.

After the fish has marinaded, heat up a skillet on medium heat with about a 1/16 cup of butter (just enough to coat the pan). Once the pan is heated up enough add the fish and marinade and allow to cook evenly on both sides (5 mins each side). Turn heat down to low and let fish simmer for another 5 minutes to allow more marinade to soak in.

While the fish is cooking heat up the 2 cups of water to boiling and add the quinoa and chicken bullion cube. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. You can also steam the broccoli and heat up the corn at this time.

Now that everything is done sit down and enjoy your meal.
