FEVER: Fruity, Energizing Beverage

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Fever is a new beverage that claims to produce feelings of pleasure and euphoria.

It comes in three flavors:  Kiwi + Strawberry, Pineapple + Coconut, and Mango + Banana.

I tried the Mango + Banana and I liked the flavor.  I can’t say that I felt much effect in terms of energy or mood, but I think I’m a bad judge of this kind of thing.  I also don’t feel much effect from coffee/caffeine.  And, I’m pretty much in a good mood 95% of the time.

Thanks to Lauren for sending me a bottle to sample.

Available at GNC. If you try a bottle, let me know if you feel happier or more energized.


100 Foods for Energy, Eyesight, Sleep, Health

“Top 100 Foods to Improve Your Productivity” on Foodproof.

From the list:

  • Top foods for energy include: eggplant, raisins, lima beans
  • Top foods for improving digestion and sleep include: black beans, bran cereal, avocado
  • Top foods for eyesight include: strawberries, carrots, smoothies
  • Top foods for avoiding colds and other illnesses include: orange juice, bell peppers, green tea

I find lists of this nature to be a little silly, but still: I love them.

The general message of always to eat more nutrient-dense foods: fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains.

Putting it into a format like this is more exciting.  An instant tonic for our worries and ailments!  Or, in the least, a reminder of some super foods to work into our diets.
