Chocolate Shakeology Recipe: Strawberry Thunder

I often tell people that exercise, nutrition, and sleep are the three legs of the fitness stool as they will determine the overall state of your health. But if you struggle with actually sleeping in spite of going to bed at a reasonable hour, check your diet.

Spicy foods can cause heartburn or indigestion which can keep you awake. While alcohol may relax you, it will keep you from sleeping well (plus may require extra trips to the potty). Sugar can amp you up and/or cause you to wake up craving more sugar. And most chocolate contains caffeine, which is the last thing you want when you’re trying to get some rest.

Eat right and sleep tight!
