We are all so busy, aren’t we? It seems that while today’s technology can do wonders in making us more productive, it has also created a climate in which we find it difficult to unplug and recharge our batteries. Like many, I find it challenging to have the energy to do all I want to do at the end of the workday.

One way I have addressed this recently is getting back to my commitment of eating organic foods. By omitting pesticides and other chemicals from my system, I am hopeful that I will not only feel better but also improve both my quality of life and longevity. With cancer and Alzheimer’s in my family history, I am cognizant of doing what I can to improve the likelihood that I will not follow suit.

Doing some reading online for more ways to improve my energy through diet, I found this article on 27 foods that give you more energy. This is a great starting point for some future menu planning! You can read the article for full detail – I am just happy to see dark chocolate on the list! But seriously, I do plan to put these foods into our menu plan. I think it is worth a try and a great way to add another layer to our already improved eating habits!

For a laminated list of the foods that you can carry with you to refer to when menu planning and grocery shopping, shoot me an email.

Shalom!
