How To Stay Healthy And Energized Throughout The Day

Hi friends!

How do you usu­ally start your day?  What’s your rou­tine like, and does it work for you?

Up until a few years ago, I would run a marathon every three weeks, now I run about 6 to 10 km a day. Add this on top of run­ning Silva Inter­na­tional and being a lov­ing wife and mother, its no secret that I need to have an end­less sup­ply of energy.

For me, it’s very impor­tant to stick to a cer­tain rou­tine to main­tain my health and stamina.

Watch the video to see what my typ­i­cal day looks like  and then check out my very own energy drink recipe that I make and enjoy every sin­gle morning.

How To Make My Favorite Energy Drink

1. A cup of strawberries

2. Half a cup of mixed berries

3. Some watermelon

4. A few let­tuce leaves

5. A hand­ful of spirulina

Place the straw­ber­ries, berries, water­melon, let­tuce leaves and spir­ulina in a blender. Cover the blender and blend on high speed until fruit is pureed. Add ice cubes, if you like your smooth­ies a bit colder. Cover the blender, and blend on high speed until ice is finely chopped.

And that’s it!

I hope you enjoy the energy drink as much as I do!
Bet­ter and better,

Laura

P.S. I am curi­ous to know if you have any health or rou­tine secrets that keep you ener­gized through the day! Let me know in the com­ments below.

    Laura, I con­sider myself a rather ener­getic guy, but I wish I had the energy you have, and I’m a cou­ple of decades younger than you :)
    You’re always an inspi­ra­tion to all of us. Thanks for shar­ing with us how you start and get through your day!

    Hi Laura,

    Thanks for shar­ing how you begin your morn­ing. My rou­tine is sim­i­lar to yours. I am a lark I love the early morn­ing so I always medi­ate (I lis­ten to one of the silva tapes to guide me) then I pray and thank the cre­ator for all of my bless­ing. Then I have my morn­ing cof­fee (which I love and will not give up) I have a work out rou­tine which I do three or four times a week for about 45 min­utes (weights and cardio)I always eat a healthy break­fast, then its off to the office. One of these morn­ings I’ll give your power drink a try.

    Thanks,

    Gail

    Hi Laura

    Don’t mean to be a bubble-burster, but, health-wise, in clas­sic food com­bin­ing (ayurvedic, Tibetan med­i­cine, etc.), greens and veg­eta­bles should never be com­bined with fruit. Melon should never be com­bined with other foods (even other mel­ons), and the first liq­uid in the morn­ing should be warm or even hot, no cooler than room tem­per­a­ture. Cold drinks shock the stom­ach and liver and con­tribute to diges­tive com­pli­ca­tions. The Chi­nese, Ayurvedic and other heal­ing sys­tems have proven much of this. Inap­pro­pri­ate food com­bin­ing leads to indi­ges­tion, tox­i­c­ity, weight gain and gen­eral ill-health.

    Chronic prob­lems in my own sys­tem turned right around when i dis­cov­ered food-combining!

    Laura, Thanks for shar­ing your fav. smoothie recipie. I make fruit smooth­ies in the morn­ing, i add this super food called Goji Berries. This super­food con­tains more antiox­i­dants than any other planet food source. Rec­om­mended amount is 28g a day (around a handful)..

    Every­day Recipie -
    hand­ful of Goji berries + blue berries + pear + water = Health at opti­mal levels

    i add oat meal occa­sion­ally to this smoothie

    P.s — you can rotate the fruits as per sea­son and health conditions.

    Mona Vie!!! It keeps me ener­gized with more focus and has removed my aches and pains. Add 2 OZ of this 2 times a day to your energy drink for an amaz­ing super boost ben­e­fit! For more info, go to Brighart.com or monavie.com. (115916 if you want to pur­chase). When you do the research, you will find there is noth­ing that comes close to it’s benefits.

    Laura,
    Just won­der­ful advice! And we can see how great it works! I always wanted to know the lit­tle secrets that keeps ever­thing in tune for you all. Here we learnt a good many!Thanks.

    I would just like to share that before I go to sleep, I let go of all the stuck up sen­sa­tions, feel­ings and strug­gles left over from the day and sur­ren­der every­thing to the Almighty, express grat­i­tude to Him for the day, and pro­gram that the next day works out har­mo­niously for all around and do a few case­work for oth­ers and go to sleep.

    And by His Will, things are get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter! Have a great life, everyone!

    I agree with Ra about cold drinks and foods Vs. Warm and Hot. But com­bin­ing fruits and veg­it­a­bles or dif­fer­ent kind of fruits together must be ok. Too much of details/arguments lead no where, atleast hav­ing a healthy drink once or twice a day is bet­ter than not hav­ing any­thing right ?

    This is all won­der­ful infor­ma­tion, I love to read everyone’s secrets to a more hap­pier, health­ier, love filled life!
    For myself, first and fore­most, I rec­og­nize and am eter­nally grate­ful that God is and always will be pro­vid­ing for me.
    Sec­ondly, I take an amaz­ing unique sup­ple­ment that is a glu­tathione accel­er­a­tor. When glu­tathione (which is our mas­ter antioxidant)levels drop, chronic ill­ness and dis­ease creep in. This sup­ple­ment is sold only face to face, no drug­stores. Order here essentiallymax.com
    I wish great health for everyone!

    Ra,
    Don’t mean to be a bubble-burster, but don’t you real­ize that when Laura BELIEVES this drink in yummy and good for her–that it is!?!?!
    By the way, God made all food good–any way you like it!!!

    Can you not see how healthy Laura is!?!?!?!?!?

    Hey Laura,
    Nice to see you again. You look very energ­eric.
    I like my drink boost with straw­ber­ries + blue­ber­ries + banana + vigan cane sugar + milk. Sorry…
    I do not know what is spirulina.

    Be Happy,
    Yasmina

    Hi Laura,
    I am a health nut and for years have use many energy ther­a­pies as well as sup­plel­ments and a healthy diet. The most fun and effec­tive way I have found to ener­gize is eat­ing sev­eral pieces of healthy choco­late daily. Not only do I have more energy but I have expe­ri­enced many health ben­e­fits which can be expected from cold pressed cacao — the num­ber one super­an­tiox­i­dant. Soon there will be a truly healthy energy drink also cer­ti­fied that will have longer energy ups with­out the crashes. Seri­ously, can it get any bet­ter than this?
