Study yourself

This takes patience because you have to do a little trial and error sometimes, BUT it can have HUGE pay-offs. For example, when I was a teacher I was always baffled at how tired I was in the afternoon and at night. There were days that I would come home and take a nap...seriously? This was awhile ago. I started to look at what I ate during the day and started making substitutions to try and figure out what was causing my energy low. What was the culprit? Chocoloate milk - well it was not the only thing. I started paying more attention to what foods I was eating that had high-fructose corn syrup in it. I started to realize that there was WAY too much sugar in my diet. After I cut out alot of the sugar my energy increased, I couldn't believe it. Will this work for everyone? No, but you should study your eating habits and figure our how the food you are eating is affecting you.

Over the years, I have been successful with changing my exercise and diet to improve my physical well-being. I have been able to decrease my stress, eliminate migrane headaches, increase my energy, and gain more muscle. Again - this might not work for everyone, but you never know unless you give it a try.
