Low Energy Caused by Iron

What a long day. I usually start my day from 6am and it does not end until 9pm or 10pm. I finally get to sit down after a long day. I feel exhausted. My children are in bed. I have little time for myself. There are days where I wonder why I am feeling this burnt out. What have I done all day? In the middle of the day, I do have a cup of tea. I something to keep me awake or to give me some energy to last until the rest of the day. The other thing I try do is to increase the amount of time I spend on exercising. I workout in the morning doing some cardio. At the end of the night, I would do some yoga to help me to de-stress after dealing with my kids. I was hoping the exercise would help my energy level.

The other thing I find dealing with my kids is that I am no longer a patient person. I thought I was a very patient person but after having kids I don’t think I have as much patience as before or maybe my kids are just really good at testing my patience. Lately, I have been feeling a little more drained than usual. I feel like I need something more for body or mental health. I was at the library looking at health magazines I came upon an Advertisement on iron deficiency. Low energy can be caused by low iron. It was stating that it is quite common women don’t have enough iron. The low iron could cause fatigue and it is quite common in women. The product adverted is a liquid product called Floradix a herbal remedy. This piked my interest because I tend to lean more towards natural or herbal remedies. I went to a nutrition store to pick up Floradix in liquid iron; I didn’t mind the taste. It reminds me of something similar to plum juice. I need to take this in the morning and evening before my meal. I felt a lot better after a day. Floradix had various B vitamins which help with stress. I find that this product does help with my health, my energy level, and my well-being. It is a great product.

My husband works a lot; there are days where he works long hours and some late nights. I know he needs some extra help with his energy level. What I usually make for him on these days where he needs some extra nutrient is a three herb drink: ginseng, goji berry, and longan. It does not taste bitter or have a horrible aftertaste, so I know he would drink this. No one wants to drink something they want to end up throwing up. Goji berry help with his eyesight when he is constantly on his computer. Goji berry or wolfberry a fruit of Lycium barbarum or Lycium Chinese which helps to boost the immune system, brain activity, protect against heart disease, cancer, and improves life expectancy. Also, the goji berry has vitamin C, Vitamin A, iron, selenium, and antioxidant benefits. Many use this fruit to treat eye, liver, and kidney ailments. This berry has a slightly sweet and sour taste. Longan is a juicy, sweet, and it has a pulp texture. This fruit is named round black shiny seed with a white protuberant umbilici that looks like eyes of a legendary Dragon. The extract of the longan fruit promotes growth and physical fitness. It is a tonic for someone who needs a little help. It also helps with anti-aging. It protects blood vessel and prevents the hardening of arteries. Lastly, ginsing Chinese refer as ‘yellow spirit’ ‘magic herb’ king of herbs’ is a herb which has miraculous power. Ginseng helps with exhaustion. How I make the drink is by taking 4 goji berry, 1 ginseng, 3 longan and add to boiling water. Let if sit for a couple of minutes. Throw the water away to clean it. Then, start over pour boiling water into a cup with three herbs. Let if sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, it is ready. You can make 2-3 cups.
