Shrimp & Papaya & Mango & Chicken, Oh my…

Just browsing through one of my favorite magazines, Health Magazine, and came across a couple energy boost foods and recipes to share with you!

1. Shrimp. A 3-ounce serving has 14% of our recommended daily amount of energy boosting iron. Furthermore, it recommends that we look for “Wild American” Shrimp because it is free of contamination issues. (Iron carries oxygen to red blood cells to help prevent anemia. Anemia is extremely fatiguing – been there, done that.)

You know what else? This is an easy kapeezy lunch addition. Pack ’em in a Tupperware with a little Tupperware of dipping sauce … yummy!

2. Papaya-Mango Chicken Salad. Says to mix pre-cooked chicken with fat-free creme cheese, diced papaya, scallions and some mango chutney. Then a dash of salt, pepper and lime juice.

I’ll make this for Michael and moi lunch tomorrow – his will be minus the creme cheese ’cause he is lactose intolerant. Well, gotta run off to the grocery store … See you tomorrow.

Pssst. Have posted a number of energizing recipes here, check ’em out. And, if you want to re-Energize your body, mind and spirit then check out the Fatigue Be Gone! Jumpstart e-Guide. It has what you need and is instantly available upon receipt of payment.

Do you know that you get what you focus on most?

The freshness and beauty of a new season … the smiles of friends … an abundance of wealth, health and happiness.

Start small. Look down, look around. Where is your magic showing up today?

Look at what I found in my friend Ardenia’s garden last week. So pretty – I had to go back there today with my camera to bring it here to you. Enjoy.

“Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.”
– Lin Yutang

Hope is the ultimate energy boost. It is right up there with gratitude and Love. If you are reading this and feeling low STOP and call a girlfriend and LOVE. Or, start a gratitude list and see how many letters of the alphabet it takes for your energy to start rising. Or, take a moment to close your eyes and visualize the best-case-scenario outcome. Stay with that vision and that warm, happy, hopeful feeling. Our minds are so powerful … what we hope for and what we can see or feel, we can achieve.

Be well. Think happy thoughts. I am sending you mine.

Adrenal Fatigue and Cortisol Deficiency

According to Dr. Lee, author, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You, the below symptoms may indicate a “cortisol deficiency” caused by tired adrenals.

What tires out our adrenals? The simple everyday mix of juggling a job and juggling a family PLUS a drip of chronic stress — extended family expectations, financial downsize (or upsize), an illness, a major life change … (Psst. Any change is stressful, even from worse to better.)

Here are the symptoms of Cortisol Deficiency per Dr. Lee.

Debilitating Fatigue * Unstable blood sugar * Foggy Thinking * Low blood pressure * Thin and/or dry skin * Intolerance to exercise * Brown spots on face

Recognize any of these? Personally I wasn’t aware of unstable blood sugar (what test is that?) or my low blood pressure (which I was assured was “fine.” See below.) But the rest was me – oh yeah – right down to two large brown spots on my face.

Rule of thumb. Actually, a few.

1. Watch out when Drs. assure you that something is “fine” or “normal” after they remark or call attention to it as in “Boy, you have low blood pressure, has it always been this way?” Then you say something like “I don’t know. Is this a problem?” and they say “Of course not, this is normal in lots of people including world-class athletes.” (This is an actual conversation that I had with a doctor. BTW, I was not a world-class athlete. I was just a woman who was tired all the time!)

2. Check out Dr. Lee’s books: Dr. John Lee’s Hormone Balance Made Simple: The Essential How-to Guide to Symptoms, Dosage, Timing, and More and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM): Premenopause, Balance Your Hormones and Your Life from Thirty to Fifty

3. Cortisol, what is it? It is a steroid hormone manufactured in the adrenal glands. It puts the ump into our fight or flight which is why it is referred to as “the stress hormone.”

4. Stress, who needs it. If you feel stressed all the time and your life really isn’t “on the line” PLEASE find a way to soothe your spirit and give your hormones a break. One of my somethings is the practice of Reiki. Learn more about it with this easy-to-follow book called “Portable Reiki.” In minutes a day you will feel the difference and, like it implies, you can take it and do it anywhere.
