When I experience these days, I have learned to look for the root cause. For me they are usually one of three things: missing meals or eating too much junk, lack of sleep and lack of exercise.

 

Have you eaten today? When was the last time you ate?   When your blood sugar gets too low you begin experiencing physical and mental symptoms that effect how you function. Some of the symptoms you may experience are anxiety, clammy skin, trembling, hunger, difficulty in thinking and confusion.

 

Eating a small snack between meals may be just what you need. Eat something like yogurt and fruit or peanut butter and an apple. Or drink a health drink like Natural Vision’s Mind.

 

Have you been getting enough sleep? Inadequate rest can have serious effects on your health in the form of mental and physical impairments. Not getting enough sleep effects our ability to think, handle stress and moderate your emotions.

 

If you can’t take a nap (who but a kindergartener really can!), try to get some relaxation time in. Take a walk during lunch, sit outside and “smell the roses”. Take a mental break by walking to the coffee pot or speaking to a co-worker or doing some mind benders like crossword puzzles or sudoku. Of course, sleeping at night for a regular number of hours is the best. However many hours on which you can operate at maximum capacity is the magic number. Sleep regularly and give yourself a mental “nap”.

 

Have you exercised lately? Some of the symptoms that the lack of exercise creates are fairly well-known. Obesity, high blood pressure, and more. What about the benefits of regular exercise? Regular exercise improves your mood and can help prevent depression. Exercise boosts energy levels. Also, exercise even promotes better sleep. 

 

Don’t have time to exercise? Well, then incorporate it into you daily life. Walk whenever possible. Take the stairs. Just going up the stairs will get your heart pumping and can “wake” you up sufficiently during that afternoon slump to help you make it through the rest of the day. I know of people who do spats and waist bends while getting ready in the morning. If you watch TV, you can do a few exercises or get an exercise ball and bounce on it (do a whole routine!) while watching a show. There are many ways to incorporate into your life. You just have to remember to make time for it.

 

You may be thinking, well I have ADD so none of this will help me! Well, I have ADD and know from experience that my symptoms lessen when I eat, sleep and exercise on a regular basis.

 

These three solutions may seem basic but they remain tried and true and often overlooked. Today, try the simple solutions. Gain the focus you have longed for with these simple mind benders.

Weight loss is a common New Year’s resolution, but what about getting more energy? One of the reasons people want to lose weight is to feel better. Isn’t energy part of that?

 

If you had more energy, couldn’t you exercise, plan meals, and make better health decisions?

 

Wouldn’t having more energy kick-start your weight loss goals?

 

3 Main Ways to Get More Energy

 

1. Eat better – this is a no brainer. If what you put in your body for fuel is healthier and packed with nutrients, then what you get is more energy.

 

2. Sleep – another no brainer. If sleep is a way to recharge those batteries then sleeping better on a more consistent basis will give you more reserves to call on during the day. Research shows that one hour of sleep before midnight is the equivalent to 4 hours after midnight. So, there is something to the saying about early to bed, early to rise making you happier.

 

3. Exercise – no brainer! If the fuel is there and the body’s batteries are recharged then to stay operating it must move! In physics there’s a law about momentum and movement. An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon. Once you build the momentum physically, it will affect other areas of your life. Mental. Emotional. Spiritual. And more.

In order to rate antioxidant drinks you need to first need to identify attributes that can be measured. The most important attribute in an antioxidant drink is the ORAC value.

 

What is ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity)?

 

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in biological samples. Correlation between the high antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables, and the positive impact of diets high in fruits and vegetables, for example is believed to play an important role in the free-radical theory of aging

 

Free radicals are naturally produced in the body through the normal metabolism of amino acids and fats. These free radicals are unstable molecules that can freely react with and destroy healthy cells. They can bind to and alter the structure of DNA thus leading to mutations and eventually to cancer. Besides cancer, this oxidative stress on the cells can lead to heart, eye, and neurological diseases.

 

Therefore the ORAC value is a worthy measure to use in comparing antioxidant drinks.

 

One such test was conducted at Brunswick Laboratories, an independent product testing lab.

 Their certified results are given below:

 

Product                                                            ORAC Value

 

Natural Visions Mind™                                   7370

Vemma                                                            3500

Tahitian Noni                                                    1284

Himalayan Goji                                                  1218

Xango                                                              1100

Monavie                                                             920

 

Another attribute that is measurable is the number of natural ingredients, vitamins and minerals in the antioxidant drink.

 

Natural Visions Mind™ contains 7 different all natural antioxidant ingredients.

 

They are: Acai Berry, Mangosteen, Noni, Goji, Aloe Barbadensis, Pomegranate and Green Tea.

 

Vemma contains: Mangosteen and Aloe Baradensis

 

Tahitian Noni contains:  Noni

 

Himalayan Goji contains: Goji

 

Xango contains: Mangosteen

 

Monavie contains: Acai Berry, Goji, and Pomegranate

 

Conclusion:

 

If a person purchased all of the products separately that is included in Natural Visions Mind™ it would be quite costly.

 

For example: If you wanted the benefits of the Acai Berry you could purchase Mind™ or Monavie. If you wanted the benefits of Mangosteen you could purchase Mind™, Xango or Vemma. If you wanted the benefits of Noni you could purchase Mind™ or Tahitian Noni.

 

I think you get the picture. Why buy three different antioxidant drinks to get the benefits of 3 antioxidant ingredients when you could buy Mind™ and reap the benefits of all three at a much lower price.

 

Bottom line – try each of the antioxidant drinks then you decide which one has the best value for you.
