Moms: Why Are You Feeling so Tired


We all know that the hardest job in the world is being a mother.Lets face it, your stressed and haven't got enough sleep. But why are you really so tired? There are a few explanations. Did you eat lunch? Maybe you were too busy, maybe you were trying to lose some baby weight. Whatever the reason lunch didn't happen, it's bringing you down. You've probably heard that breakfast is super important, and it is -- but moms, whether they're rushing around at home or at work, are often guiltier of skipping lunch. And to maintain your energy, you can't wait until dinner to eat.

Ok, maybe you did eat lunch, but did you eat a good lunch? Even if you are eating often enough, you may not be doing yourself any big favors with what you're eating. White bread, microwavable meals, and juice boxes can make for too much starch, salt, and sugar. These kinds of foods (so prevalent in a house with kids) will just give you a quick rush of energy that'll send you crashing back down in a few hours. What you need is protein (to increase dopamine production in the brain, which will help you feel more alert) and vitamins. And don't cut out the carbs -- the good kind give your body long-term energy.
