Wow between finals, final projects, my night job, my internship, my gym workouts and fitting in a little social life I almost lost touch of my blogging.
Getting enough sleep is more than just
about feeling refreshed and ready for your day.
Why do you crave sweets/carbs?
Adrenal fatigue. The adrenal glands secrete
chemicals that provide us with energy. However, stress, lack of sleep or
insomnia can disrupt the function of these glands and cause exhaustion and so
your body looks to other sources for energy.
When your body is running low:
-Drink lots of water
-Take a half hour to yourself and relax
even if it’s during your lunch break. Go outside sit in the parkand breathe
the fresh air in.
-Stay away from packaged items such as
protein bars** which have artificial sweeteners
-Take lots of Vitamins and Iron
Supplements
-Eat fruit to fulfill your sugar cravings
-Don’t Drink Excessive Amount of Coffee
-Drink Green Tea
**Look out this weekend for the blog post
of what on-the-go health bars (proteins bars) are the best to eat. You might as well eat Snickers before
grabbing just any protein bar.
