LIVE LIFE NATURALLY
Energy and Supplements
So many of us struggle with lack of energy to get through our day, week, month. Sometimes it seems endless. I've seen some substantial changes in the past year and have come to learn more about how to listen to and take care of my body. Many of you know I became pescatarian a couple years ago. I eat a mostly vegetarian diet and sometimes seafood. About a year ago I noticed my hair was loosing it's curl, was dry and lifeless. Now, I eat pretty healthy but I new something wasn't right.
Then I was introduced to a new nutritional supplement that really did A LOT for me. My curl came back and the dryness went away. My joints felt better and I even began running on the treadmill. Something I hadn't done in years. The main thing I realized, is not all supplements are created equal.
See, I had been taking a daily vitamin and glucosamine and chondroitin but I still was not feeling effected until I changed to this new brand. It was more expensive but so worth it.
Why do we need supplements? What I've read is that our food today, organic or not, doesn't always have the same nutrients that it used to, so we should be adding the nutrients that our bodies need. Especially if you are working out on a regular basis.
A few weeks ago I began using the doTerra Vitality Pack. I was curious to try them because it is doTerra's number one seller. This consists of Alpha CRS+ which is for Cellular Vitality, xEO MEGA, an essential oil omega complex and Micro PLEX VMz which is a food supplement. Though I really did like the other nutritional supplement I was taking I wanted to experiment.
I had noticed a small spot on my head that was loosing hair and my gut said it had to do with nutrition. I had run out of my other brand so I made the switch to see what would happen. I am happy to report after about three weeks the hair in that area is growing in! I am by no means a nutritionist, doctor, or anything of the like, just sharing my growth so others may learn to listen to their bodies.

Natural Energy Boosters
I was talking recently with my beautiful niece Cindy and she told me how she uses Lime essential oil for energy. When she needs a pick-me-up she puts a couple drops under her tongue. I had not thought of this and loved the idea. Lime oil has antiseptic properties so it can help cure and prevent infection. Being an astringent is can help cure a toothache and even diarrhea. Lime oil positively affects mood and internally cleanses. So much good from this yummy oil. So, I decided to look into few other natural energy boosting ideas.
- Sleep, yes this is obvious but it's amazing how many people I talk to that do not get a good nights sleep. 7-9 hours is recommended!
- Daily Exercise. We should all be doing some form of this daily. Though you don't feel like it, getting some form daily will boost your energy levels.
- Stretch and Breathe. Full deep breathes that raise your belly will help get your blood flowing.
- Vegetable juice! Though home made is recommended so you do not have the added sugar and preservatives. Those will take you back down.
- Chia seeds. Aztec and Mayan warriors used them to keep up their energy during war.
- Stay hydrated!!! Drink your water!!!
- Other essential oils for energy, Frankincense, Peppermint, Rosemary, Wild Orange, Citrus Bliss, Elevation.
