Dear Readers,

A Perfect Start to the Day

1. PREPARATION IS EVERYTHING

2. We admit this tip isnt exactly creative and its definitely not sexy. But its worth a try. A while ago, we experimented by setting our alarm clocks to 6:00 AM instead of 8:00 AM (most creative professionals like us prefer starting work later in the morning, but working longer in the eveningwho knows who introduced that idea?). It took a few days of adjustment, but our inner clocks now crave those ungodly early hours and we really enjoy the added peace and quiet we get in that time. Who doesnt need more time? Nothing is better for your circulation than movement.

You dont have to start your day with a twelve-mile run. Even just fifteen minutes of stretching or yoga are enough and do wonders in working out your entire body.

Of course staying current on the news is important. But the news can often be overwhelming and depressing, not exactly the kind of stuff that starts your day off right. Since youre getting up earlier now, try to read an inspiring, maybe even humorous book before reaching for your phone or tablet to read the morning news.

Your mood and your energy levels will thank you.

Before your first cup of coffee, you should replenish your liquid stores. Your body loses moisture during sleep, so it doesnt operate on full capacity until you give it back what it lost. One or two glasses of water can work wonders. You can pump that water full of vitamins and minerals, like with our .

The fresh citrus juices will get you moving in the morning, we promise.

Coffee is not forbidden. Jrg could never give it upsee page . But why not try moving your first cup to the late morning instead of first thing? The high caffeine levels of coffee can easily overstimulate your system, and the natural acid in coffee beans isnt exactly the greatest thing you can do to your tummy after a restful sleep. To list every nut, berry, and seed on earth would be beyond the scope of this book.

But wed still love to give you a quick overview of our favorite and most frequently used of these healthy gems. These not only taste delicious but are bursting with fantastic nutritional compounds that do your body good, especially in the morning.

Almonds are a great source of protein and healthy fats. The nutmeat delivers important B vitamins, beta-carotene, calcium, zinc, and selenium. The brown skin encasing the nut is full of fiber. Cashews arent technically nuts but rather belong to the family of seeds of stone fruits.

Compared to other nuts, they are relatively low in fat; they deliver a lot of protein and magnesium.

Raspberries contain a lot of vitamin C, iron, folic acid, magnesium, and potassium. Starting in the twelfth century, they were cultivated in cloister gardens, which makes them one of the oldest cultivated fruits in Europe. Fresh blueberries are full of B vitamins and, like raspberries, are a great source of vitamin C. Theyve also been cultivated for many centuries in Europe. These red berries from China are very high in nutrients.

They contain more vitamin C than most citrus fruits and are also high in amino acids, B vitamins, minerals, and important trace elements.

The best way to consume this nutritional powerhouse is ground, since its healthy oils are better absorbed by the human body once the seeds have been processed. Flaxseed is full of fiber, iron, and calcium, and is a great source of vitamin E. Hemp seeds are one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids in the world. High in protein, hemp also contains all of the eight essential amino acids that the human body cant produce itself. These high-protein seeds were considered an important source of nutrition by the Maya people.

They contain a large amount of calcium and iron, deliver long-lasting energy, and help regulate digestion.
