GET MORE ENERGY TODAY!

Our lives seem to move at a quicker and quicker pace as each day passes. So how are we supposed to keep up? The team at Midwest Chiropractic as compiled a list of some very simple things we can do which will immediately give us more usable energy, and it can start right now!

1.Drink more water. The actual formula for just how much we need is to take your body weight and divide that by two. You need to drink that many ounces of water every day. Water is like liquid oxygen. It goes directly to tissues and does not have to be digested or processed. Milk, beer soft drinks, tea, Perrier, juices, power drinks are not water. Water is water and that is it.

2. Balance your carbohydrates with your proteins. Most of us consume six times more carbs than protein. If you have pasta, make sure it is about equal in volume/amount to the meat you must have with it. If you have a bagel, put low fat cream cheese on it. For breakfast, have cottage cheese with fruit. For a snack, have an apple with peanut butter or cheese. This will slow down the sugar spike of the carbs and will slow down the insulin production. This is huge for energy!

3. Exercise! Some cardio workout just three times per week for 30 min is enough to push the blood thru the tissues and get you producing high-energy compounds in your body. Exercise moves the joints and keeps calcium in bones. It also cleans out waste products from tissues that have been produced all day.

4. Take organic multi-vitamins and minerals daily. Unfortunately most of the food we eat is empty of natural nutrients. It is almost impossible to eat complete meals with our busy schedules and mass produced foods we consume. If you have any questions about which vitamins you should be taking don't hesitate to stop into Midwest Chiropractic and we will be happy to help.

Doing these simple things along with getting your body running at 100% thru chiropractic is a sure formula for more energy. Just do any of these and you will begin to feel the results.
