If you’re like me and running around like crazy this summer with your little one, you know how important sleep and energy are! However, we know many times the first one is out of our control with baby waking up crying during the night. I am not a big coffee drinker, as I prefer to get my energy through exercise, eating right and consuming the best vitamins/minerals. I was excited to discover MitoQ which is a very unique form of CoQ10, which is a naturally occurring antioxidant our bodies use for energy. Usually CoQ10 absorbs into the bloodstream. However, MitoQ goes beyond the bloodstream into the mitochondria which are known as the powerhouse of our cells. They help us convert food and oxygen into energy that our bodies and organs need to function. Poor mitochondrial function is associated with more than 200 diseases and conditions.
MitoQ gives your cells the energy they need to repair, restore, and maintain good health. It can improve overall well-being, make it easier to recover from strenuous activity and even improve elasticity in your skin. But most of all, you can power through this summer months with all of your and your little one’s activities! Find it on Amazon or here.
Summer is a time for entertaining and with that usually comes some fun cocktails. However, did you know that a Long Iced Tea or Piña Colada can have between 600 and 800 calories in each drink? I’m someone who prefers to eat her calories over drinking them, so I reduce calories in drinks when I can. Stevia in the raw is a zero – calorie sweetener and contains an extract from the sweet leaves of the stevia plant. One packet of stevia in the raw is as sweet as two teaspoons of sugar. That’s a lot of saved calories. It’s perfect for sweetening drinks and can also be used for baking and cooking recipes.
For a fun summer drink, I like to make wine spritzers. Just mix your wine, club soda and Stevia in the Raw in a pitcher until the stevia is dissolved. Add some fruit like apples, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and you’re good to go! Simple, refreshing and low in calories! You can get more information here.
