Energy From Food

"Fueling the body through a proper diet is like putting gasoline in a car," so says an article on yourtotalhealth.village.com.  It goes on to say that our bodies need enough energy to accomplish our daily activities.  A lot of that energy comes from what we put in our bodies.  I am trying my best to improve this area of my own life.  So in my search I found the following list of energizing meals & snacks from the article:

• Celery sticks with peanut butter, juice
• Cereal with milk and fruit
• Cottage cheese, fruit and whole-grain crackers
• Eggs with low-fat meat served in a pita or tortilla, juice
• Fresh fruits and vegetables (with all meals)
• Grilled cheese on whole wheat with tomato, fruit, milk
• Sandwich (chicken, tuna or turkey) on whole grain, fruit
• Smoothie made with low-fat yogurt, fruit and milk
