I've always been told to get my iron and eat meat (sick of it) to boost up my hemoglobin levels. But I just found out a few months ago that i've got a mild form of Thalassemia, where one of the hemoglobins chains in red blood cells (RBCs) is in a variant/mutated form. So that means my RBCs carry less oxygen regardless of how much iron I consume. Im tired alot, although I am hyperactive, and jumping off the walls at other times...my energies change so quickly. I have a few Aries friends that I truly envy, for example, who have an unbounded amount of energy at all hours of the day and night. How do they do it???I find that vigorous work outs or playing sports helps me a great deal. But I find them to be too time consuming And hard to do all year round, especially with work and school. Any tips or insights? IP: Logged |

I have been drinking lots of Green tea. It is full of anti-oxidents and is suppose to give you energy. It is worth a try.IP: Logged |

I need to develop more of a taste for it. It always tastes better when I get it from Chinese/East Asian restaurants. I drink black tea with milk and some sugar, but after meals usually. Coffee makes my heart race crazy, and I get too nervous and anxious on it. That is my secret weapon for pulling an all-nighter. Don't want to abuse that one. Maybe I'll pack myself some green tea for lunch tomorrow. I think I may have some loose leaves around. Do ya think that I may become immune to its effects eventually?? IP: Logged |
