Delicious Brain-Boosting Blueberry packed with Protein Powder
Feeling a little dull? Inject some colour and sparkle with a Blueberry protein smoothie bowl. Blueberries help maintain brain function and Improve memory. Additionally the fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and phytonutrient content in blueberries supports heart health. Add in a tasty vanilla protein powder to get your metabolism and energy levels going. Have one mid-morning and mid-afternoon and slowly replace that coffee fix with a protein fix. This will give your adrenal glands a much needed rest and allow you to limit your adrenal fatigue for when you really need it. It is a little known fact but coffee stimulates the adrenal glands. The bottom line is that that each time you reach for a cup of brew, you're activating the body's fight versus flight mechanism. Instead of releasing adrenaline so the body can react to a true stressor, the adrenals are releasing this hormone in response to your coffee consumption and this has all kinds of negative implications for how your body processes fats, your mood and energy and other things.
