fruit really helps me! i found one time when i was super tired and had afew oranges i had energy again.
I am sure this post did not get to you timely, but I have been investigating ways to raise my energy levels, which have been low for some time due to illness. What I read that helps (and I am sure it depends on why you have low energy) with hormonal/endocrine causes is maca and bee pollen. I make a hemp milk smoothie with a heaping tablespoon of maca, bee pollen, and cacao powder and add berries and sometimes a plantain. Within an hour, it has never failed to raise my energy levels.
I hope you feel better soon.
I will try both….thank you!
I’ve been feeling the same way and find that 1 T. of cacao nibs over a bowl of fruit helps, or a glass of fresh young coconut water over ice. I have the coconut water mid afternoon and it wipes out the tiredness, and have the cacao nibs over fruit in the morning.
For me, tiredness and / or grumpiness are a sure sign that I need a pint of water!
Hope you find something to help you… :-)
i made it through work last night on only water w/ a bit of lemon. I was fine, but feel right to sleep and have slept 12 hours again….sheesh. I think I am going through another set of detox symptoms, as I have recently upped my intake of raw foods, I am now at 85-90% :). Feeling quit sleepy so I am going t try some fruits w/ nibs cause I don’t have all the fancy ingredients meditating suggests….but those are on my list for my next trip to the market.

Big green smoothies usually get me pumped up.
raw organic guarana is quite peppy :)
i take about a dime-size of bee pollen a day and have been drinking about three cups of horse tail tea which gives me A LOT OF ENERGY. at least I think that’s whats giving me the energy, it could be the high intake of fruit I eat as well.
