So I am going to make a few recommendations to get her ripe and ready from dawn to dusk.
Debbie: Basically I have to start the morning with a coffee because otherwise I am just, you know, I have my energy levels are too low, I really need that coffee boost in the morning. Then in the afternoon, I am starved to crushing out crave something sweet just to give me another sort of a lift of an afternoon and tend to eat out a lot. If we don't eat out, then quiet often we get take away because I am just too busy to prepare, you know, home cook meals and you know with two children living at home and so always it is a big rush really.
Lola Berry: If there are some great food to help balance your energy levels, it's definitely nuts and seeds. And if you have them with dried fruit, you're getting the sugar with the portion sets the stains energy throughout the day.
Debbie: Yeah.
Lola Berry: Pineapples are definitely another great one. They are full of lots of antioxidants, that really, really boost your energy levels. Then there is the banana. Its name comes from the Arabic word banan, which funnily enough means finger. Bananas are one of my favorite tropical fruits. Did you know there are over 200 different varieties worldwide? These babies, these are called lady fingers. Now the stem of the banana tree is actually formed by plenty densely packed leaves and the juice from the stem has been known to relieve tooth aches. While the peel contains antiseptic properties, which can be wrapped directly around cuts, wounds or even insect bites. The reason why banana is such a good from of energy is because that contain complex carbohydrates and fiber and that's why they can be sustained for such a long period of time. After seeing all those yummy bananas, I couldn't resist but show you my favorite start of the day.
