W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again” Even though our days are filled with projects, lists and work, we still need to put ourselves on that list of things to take care of – every day. Small steps towards improved energy can be cheap, easy and deeply rewarding. For simple energy boosts try the following: -       During your morning shower, alternate between 10 seconds of hot and then cold water for 1 minute. Be sure to get your armpits and groin area hot and then cold – this will not only wake you up better than coffee, it will help flush out your lymphatic system and increase your circulation.-       Add cayenne to your day. A natural energy booster, cayenne also protects your body from colds and sinus problems and improves circulation.-       Find an acupuncturist. Chronic fatigue and sleeplessness are both improved by this ancient, inexpensive therapy.-       YAWN: The simple act of making 10 exaggerated yawns in a row will wake up and re-focus your brain. By integrating one or more natural energy builders during your day, your body will respond and wake up better than if it’s dosed with another caffeinated beverage. Here’s to your health,Alexandra
