You must drink at least 8 ounces of water every day. Each hour the human body uses about one-half of a cup of water. The 8 ounces are required to just keep the minimal amount in your system. Some people get a headache when they are not drinking enough water. It can slow down your mental alertness too. If you are feeling drowsy and mentally slow, try drinking a cool glass of water.

A person should eat lean protein everyday. One gram for every kilogram of body weight ought to be consumed on a daily basis. For example, one egg contains about seven grams of protein. Protein helps regulate blood sugars and carbohydrates in the human body. Eating an excessive amount of carbohydrates can make you sleepy. Proteins helps you stay mentally alert.

Eat the type of fat and oil that is good for you. This would be mono-unsaturated fats and oils. Canola is a good example of such an oil. It is important to have 1 teaspoon of Omega 3 oil everyday.

Fruits like apples, pears, plums, and peaches are good examples of foods that balance your blood sugars. Apple juice is not because it is digested quickly and the sugar enters your bloodstream quickly.

An interesting and healthy trick is to eat vegetable with a variety of colors. The colors are an indication of many nutrients, minerals, and vitamins that are in these foods. The more colors the more enzymes and trace minerals are present. Select foods that are purple, blue, red, and orange. You can not get these powerful combinations of nutrients in a pill or food supplement.

Eating a meal with friends and family is a good way to relieve stress and relax. Avoid eating on the run. Avoid fast food. In general, a hectic lifestyle causes stress and stress can cause all sorts of problems.

These simple measure, if followed regularly, will give you a metabolic makeover. You will loss weight, have more energy, sleep better, and increase your mental abilities.
