Energize yourself with power foods

Do you sometimes feel like your body is a living, breathing version of the Star Trek Enterprise; in that, you feel like you're always hearing someone frequently yelling out "We need more power!" No? Then maybe it's just me ... that's hearing voices. And sounding like a geek for referencing Star Trek. I'm officially a crazy nerd. Great. Anyway, the fact remains that there are times in just about everyone's day where a little boost is necessary. Sure, super-charged energy drinks are easy enough to find these days, but what you really need is something healthy to put wind back in your sail.

To help you along, I thought you might find the following list of ten "power foods" interesting. Including most or all of these foods into your diet should help keep some hop in your step throughout the busiest of days.

Here's what the folks at the Food Network suggest eating:

• Berries
• Salmon
• Tea
• Citrus
• Legumes
• Olive Oil
• Vegetables
• Nuts and Seeds
• Whole Grains
• Lean Proteins
