Can’t make it to work on time? Feeling extra tried?

You’ve been pulling 50-HOUR weeks, and your BlackBerry is filled with events, which you must grace with your presence, but you are thinking, you may need to skip out on most of these events to catch up on some much needed rest.

You go to bed early to make sure you're getting your recommended 7-8 hours of sleep, so you'll wake up feeling refreshed and energized. But, alas, you still feel extremely fatigue and tired during the day. You begin to wonder: What is going on, why am I so tired? Do I possibly need more than 8 hours of sleep? Should I start taking vitamins or change up my current vitamin regimen? Do I need to increase my Starbucks runs from two to four times a day?

Whether they have children or not, women on the go typically have a full day of activities. And if you are a FAB Chick, well, we know you have a multitude of things going on in your life, making you susceptible to feeling weary. But you don’t have to be tired. You can gain control of your life and win the battle over exhaustion.

Here are some FAB tips to help boost your energy:

Control Your Diet: (Are you eating the right foods to supply your body energy?)
·Drink plenty of water
·Reduce you caffeine intake
·Eat breakfast
·Don’t skip meals
·Don’t crash diet
·Eat a healthy diet
·Don’t overeat
·Eat iron rich foods "women in particular, are prone to iron-deficiency (Anemia)."
Better Sleep Patterns:

These are a few easy tips you can follow to help rejuvenate yourself. And if after doing all these things, you still feel a sense of weariness and suffer from low energy, it might be time to schedule an appointment with your medical doctor. There may be other underlying medical issues that you may need to deal with.

We all know when you are not feeling your best, you can’t look your best. And a FAB Chick should not only look great, but she has to feel great as well. Remember, it's very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to stay FAB inside and out!

Hopefully these tips will help!
