In the March edition of Natural Health is an article about eating foods that help energize you. I am drawn to this article because I feel the foods I have been eating lately are weighing me down a bit. So, with the help of Natural Health I have decided to try to energize my menu for this week. Essentially they recommend including the following types of foods in your diet: Complex Carbohyrdrates, Protein and Healthy Fats. Additionally they list 10 specific foods with energizing properties. These include:
1. Brocolli
2. Brown Rice
3. Eggs
4. Green Tea
5. Oats
6. Oranges
7. Nut Butters
8. Salmon
9. Sea Vegetables
10. Yogurt

This might be a dumb question, but what exactly are sea vegetables???
Wonderful menu :)

It's not a dumb question. Sea Vegetables are basically seaweed, like Nori or Kelp. I have not been able to develop a taste for them, but I keep trying over time.
