Afternoon energy slump & ENERGYbits Giveaway
Over the past year I have written about my afternoon energy slump and subsequent turn to carbs and caffeine without much improvement. This is also the time when I tend to mindlessly eat. I tried all the good options: regular sleep, exercise, healthy eating, etc but was having issues many afternoons starting with my drive home, not safe!
Last fall I was introduced to ENERGYbits® but was a little skeptical that algae would somehow wake me up. I will admit I don't regularly but kept the tin in my work bag and often grabbed a few throughout the afternoon and in the car. I never took the full 30 they suggest but can say the small amount was enough to keep me moving and usually gave me that kick to the gym which was often my greatest fix. As someone who eats healthy (mostly), exercises and sleeps well this was the extra boost I needed to avoid the caffeine in the afternoon.
What are ENERGYbits®? ENERGYbits® and SKINNYbits® are 100% organically grown spirulina algae which is loaded with heart healthy Essential Fatty Acids like Omega 3 and GLA which reduce inflammation in blood vessels. This helps blood to flow easily and heals the blood vessels so blood pressure and the chance of heart attack or stroke are reduced. Check out these sobering statistics...many years of work with stroke patients has shown me first hand the devastating effects. Have you been effected by stroke or heart disease? How do you encourage others to live healthy?
Heart Disease and Stroke are the Nation’s Leading Killers
1. One in three deaths in the USA are from heart disease and stroke
2. One in three adults in the USA have cardiovascular disease
3. More women then men have a stroke each year (55,000 more)
4. An estimated 68 million adults have high blood pressure
5. An estimated 71 million adults have high cholesterol
6. An estimated 935,000 heart attacks and 795,000 strokes occur each year in USA
