Are you tired?
New week and new challenges in this rainy days, at least here on Cape Cod. It's just like never ending at this moment, but I was thinking about posting for you some ideas how to cope with tiredness and lack of sun we're experiencing with all this ongoing corona-virus situation, lock downs in some states and social distancing.
Our body runs as a engine and if we're missing the gas we might be tired, not energized at all, lazy eventually and sleepy as well and lately getting sick.
Balanced food and vitamins intake is very important as we already know. Our body need sugars, proteins, minerals and vitamins very importantly to fight extreme tiredness.
Below i put down some examples of what we shall give to our body to run the engine and daily dose of activities without to feel extremely tired, sleepy or sick.
I'm not doctor or any dietary advisor, so please just take out of this what,s resonate with you or add some of these ideas to your list.
I'm thyroid patient so I really have to look for nutrition for my body I will not harm with my body and will adjust my daily cooking as well, also I have to limit diary. As you see , I do to my best knowledge take care of myself and my body that I feel great and healthy.
1.) Iron
The high meat protein is in chicken liver, oysters, clams, beef , turkey, tuna,shrimp, lamb.
Plant protein - legumes, dark green leafy vegetable(spinach,kale) enriched rice or pasta, whole grain breads, pumpkins seeds, dried fruits (apricots, prunes, figs,bananas, oranges) and even dried tomatoes, honey, yeast.
2.) VitC
Vitamin C helps absorb iron and magnesium.
Raw vegetable and fruit, keep all the times a bowl of vitamin-C fruit in the house for snacking, eat more fermented vegetables.
Chopped red bell pepper contains nearly three times more vitC than an orange and are great source of vitA. Broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, kale, kiwi, orange juice, papaya, peppers, sweet potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes.citrus fruit(guava,grapefruit,lemon...)potatoes, currants.
3.) Drink lots of water 6-10 glasses of water.
4.) Zinc
Red meat and poultry , shellfish, seeds, nuts, dairy (My preferences are from fresh markets dairy fresh if i can, otherwise i don't really but dairy from stores, I try limited dairy products because of my thyroid) bake beans, chickpeas,mushrooms, garlic,kale, legumes, whole grains, decadent dark chocolate, honey, ginger.
5.) VitB's spectrum
We have vitB1,2,3,4,6,12 and also vitB17 which not to many people know or doctors will tell you!!!
Why? its very simple, because vitB17 is very very important potential helping cure cancer, immunity buster, natural detoxification. Its very important to NOT skip B17 .
B17 - raw bitter almonds and macadamia, bean and bamboo sprouts, mung beans, butter beans, millet, barley, flax seeds,buckwheat, kernel of the pit of many fruits such as apples,plumps, apricots, cherries and pears. I know sounds weird , but i remember very well as a little kids we crashed the kernel of apricots to get the yummie kernel of it, very yummi and without even knowing how healthy it is. Also tubers as yams, sweet potatoes and cassava.
VitB sources - sunflowers seeds,celery, artichokes, garlic, livers, almonds, broccoli, meat, whole grains, cafe, avocado, lentils, beans, dried fruits, bananas, fish, diary.
6.) Calcium
Dairy(yogurts, cheese, milk) apple cider, sardines, sesame seeds, leafy vegetable(okra, cabbage, broccoli, but not spinach) whey protein, soy ( but be careful with soy) nuts, fish where you eat the bones such as sardines and pilchards, bok choy, blackberries, strawberries,raspberries,Brazil nuts.
7.)Phosphorus
Chicken, turkey, organ meats, seafood(tuna - yellow fin, scallops) lean pork chops and chicken breast, lentils, squash and pumpkin seeds, quinoa, tofu, yeast, eggs, honey, figs, onion, cauliflower, mushrooms
8.) Magnesium
Nuts, meat, corn, sesame seeds, chestnuts, broccoli, almonds, grapes, avocado, cashews, spinach, dark leafy greens(collard greens, kale, swiss chard) dark chocolate, legumes, tofu, seeds(chia, flax, pumpkin)whole grains(wheat, oats,barley,buckwheat,quinoa)some fatty fish(mackerel,halibut,salmon)bananas, leafy greens.
9.) Potassium
Beans such as lima, pinto,kidney,soy and lentils,bananas,oranges,cantaloupe,honeydew,apricots,grapefruit,dry prunes,raisins,dates,cooked spinach,pear, apple cider.
10.) DO some daily exercises few minutes, don't need be 1 hour , but at least 15 min stretching. If you can watch TV whole days long you can also in the same time do sit ups ;-)
11.) Massage your own foots , how that's sounds? hahaha i know boring, but trust me i do and tis feel so so good.
12.) Aromatherapy is not only smelling so so good, but also relax your body and mind, candle light night is very beautiful as well, don't need have partner to make it for you if you single, just put few candles around the living room or if you in bed reading book and that is it. I also have candles in kitchen when i coking.
Enjoy your candle light night ;-)
Few recipes for you:
*Add honey(local is the best)to everything where you put sugar and you can also just spoon honey daily up to 4 tea spoons (2 in the morning 2 in the evening).
*Squeeze 1 lemon, add honey into a glass of water and drink daily.
*2 table spoons of apple vinegar and 1 table spoon honey, mix and drink.
6 dried apricots will give you daily intakes of iron.
*Mix 4 pears and 2 banana with dry milk and honey about 2 min and serve with ice cubes.
*Refreshing and empowering bath:10 drops of angelica oil(garden angelica) into warm water and enjoy!
You can also use any of your favorites oils, diffusers and wax meters etc...
