<\/a>The best way to begin the day is awaking after having slept 7 to 9 hours. \u00a0I will discuss sleep in more detail in a later post, but for now it is important to know that a good night’s sleep is critical to your health and well being.<\/p>\n

Once awake, you need to hydrate and stretch. \u00a0I drink a cup of fruit tea while doing a series of flexibilities. \u00a0The flexibilities keep my joints loose, get the blood flowing to my brain, and energize me. \u00a0Click here to access the PDF of the Flexibilities<\/a>\u00a0so that you can begin doing them yourself.<\/p>\n

Once stretched and hydrated, it is time for a healthy breakfast. A good breakfast makes for a good day. \u00a0I suggest a two egg omelet (actual eggs, not egg whites) with tomato salsa. \u00a0I also eat a bowl of blueberries (frozen, but thawed) and a half grapefruit (in season). \u00a0Eggs provide high-quality protein and are good for the brain. \u00a0Breakfast must<\/em> include high-quality protein.<\/p>\n

Well-rested, hydrated, stretched, and well-fed: this is the best way to begin the day.<\/p>\n
