Fight against the Afternoon Sleepiness AnyWhere!!

Afternoon Slump ( She was so sleepy due to no rest ) 

Ever feel like this in the afternoon... You could just fall asleep anywhere... lol. I think everyone has. 
The reason your body is behaving this way is due to is insufficiency in vitamins and minerals. A balanced diet, exercise, and adequate rest is the key to avoid the slump. However, many of you (including myself sometimes) just can’t seem to get all three. This is due to work or other obligations. 
What should you do? Reach for an energy drink..... No Of course NOT.. BAD BAD...
( I say this,  because I was a Energy drink  junkie and would have at least two a day). This would result in a drop in my energy after the affects wore off. So I can understand your desire to reach for one.
(With adequate rest, organic food and exercise)
Reach for some fruits and veggies to help with that afternoon drag. Your bodies are in need of some good vitamins and nutrients. Here are some ideas 
Organic Fruits:
Apples, Apricots, Blueberries, Oranges, Tangerines, Peaches, Plums etc.. 
.....any fruit will do. Stick with Organic though, get the most for your bucks
Organic Vegetables:
Carrots, Celery, Raw Broccoli, Baby Spinach with tomatoes and cucumbers, artichokes
.....etc.. any vegetable will do.. of course Organic


Here is a tip: I know that in the afternoon some of you may not want to eat a fruit  or  a veggie, but fight against that.. Change will not happen if you do not make changes in your choices... You will reap the benefits of your decisions. You will see that you have more energy to do things. JUST DO IT
