Feeling a little sluggish lately and not really sure why? Did you know that your energy levels can be affected by the kinds of food you put into your body? It’s true, and in this day and age (especially with all of the workaholics out there), having as much energy as you can is a definite must. People who eat healthier and exercise have more energy than those who eat poorly and seldom exercise. In fact, studies and research has been done to prove this point. There are also studies which suggest that those people who lead healthier lifestyles are actually happier people who tend to live longer and with less of a likelihood of developing chronic diseases and/or other medical conditions.

A Goodie Bag of Nutrition With Every Bite

I don’t know about you, but with the summer rapidly approaching, it makes me crave all sorts of different fruit salads. The fresher, the better. Fresh fruits (and veggies) are excellent sources of all sorts of nutrients. The following is a partial list of fresh fruits to help you kick off your summer in style:

• Plums: great source of vitamins C, A, B2, beta-carotene, potassium as well as dietary fiber
• Watermelon: great source of vitamins A and C as well as potassium.
• Strawberries: great source of vitamin C as well as fiber.
• Avocados: great source of cancer-fighting antioxidants as well as monounsaturated (aka: good) fats
• Kiwi: great source of fiber
