Spring is in the Air!! 

Each and everyday that the sun is shining and I don't have to pull out my winter coat, hat and mitts I am so grateful! I have to admit there have been some days that a winter coat has definitely been needed but I absolutely refuse to wear it anymore!! How about you?

With Spring here and Summer right around the corner I thought I would share some ideas to maintain and boost your energy to enjoy these longer spring days!! 


Tips of How to Eat To Maintain and Boost Your Energy:

  1. Stay Hydrated!! This is SO Important and I think we can all use a constant reminder of this! We are made up of 70% water and we use water in all of our bodily functions so you should drink 1.5-2 liters per day and more when exercising to maintain and boost your energy
  2. Have protein and fibre with each meal and snack (veggies with hummus or tahini, yogurt with trail mix and fruit, kale chips with cashew cream) 
  3. Avoid Processed and Refined Sugars and Flours: WHITE bread, rice, and pasta, refined cereals, crackers, chips, waffles, pancakes, muffins, cakes, etc.
  4. Avoid sugar: processed and refined white sugar, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, pasteurized honey, jam, chocolate, pre packaged treats, gummies, candies, etc. 
  5. Choose natural sweeteners such as raw, unpasteurized honey or pure maple syrup
  6. Eat Smaller Meals More often
  7. Good quality proteins: quinoa, nuts and seeds, beans, legumes, lean meats, wild cold water fish
  8. Foods high in fibre: vegetables and fruit (leave the skin on them), whole grains, nuts, seeds, leafy greens
  9. Avoid stimulants: These cause ups and downs in your system, highs and lows in blood sugars and hard on your Adrenals! Stimulants: caffeine, sugar, nicotine, energy drinks, etc.
