3 Healthy Foods That Give You Energy

• Oats: Oats, a go-to breakfast option for cardiologists, are an excellent source of healthy carbs, which can send immediate bursts of energy into your blood stream.

• Spinach: This leafy green is among the best foods if you're looking for an energy boost because it is a good source of vitamin C, iron and magnesium.

• Nuts: Nuts are another good source of iron and iron is critical for oxygen transfer and energy production. Although most nuts contain some iron, almonds, macadamia, cashews and pistachios pack the most.

4 Benefits of Fish Oil

• Help lower blood pressure: Taking fish oil is believed to reduce blood pressure — especially if you have moderate to severe high blood pressure.

• Boost brain and mental health: Omega-3s play a huge role in brain development and function and are even helpful in improving mild memory loss. They can also help improve symptoms of depression.

• Protect your eyes: The essential fatty acids in fish oil supplements may play a big role in eye health. Fish oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help prevent dry eyes. It can also reduce your risk of developing eye conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma.

• Give your skin a healthy glow: Want to get that perfect, dewy skin? Take a fish oil supplement. The omega-3s can hydrate your skin, regulate production of oil and help minimize breakouts. Fish oil also helps soothe dry, irritated skin.

Unlocking the potential of the ketogenic diet: studies reveal three health benefits

• Weight loss: Ketones have an appetite-suppressing effect, which means fewer cravings and reduced calorie intake.

• Enhanced mental clarity and energy: Ketones provide a more consistent energy source than glucose. This leads to fewer energy slumps throughout the day.

• Control blood sugar levels and manage diabetes: Carbs are converted into glucose in the body. Consuming fewer carbs leads to lower glucose levels in the bloodstream.

The 4 Best Exercises for Stronger Triceps

• Classic (or Modified) Push-Up: Get on the floor on your hands and knees, with your wrists directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips. Lift your knees off the floor and extend your legs behind you so your body is aligned from head to feet in one long line. Slowly bend elbows at a 45-degree angle and lower yourself toward the floor until your chest is almost touching the floor (or as far down as you can get). Push yourself back up to the starting position and repeat.

• Tricep Dips: Sit on a chair or a bench with your hands on the seat beside you and your feet flat on the floor. Lift your butt off the chair and from this position, lower your body toward the ground until your arms are bent at 90-degree angles. Push yourself back up to the starting position and repeat.

• Tricep Press Downs: Standing with a resistance band in your right hand, place your right hand at the front of your left shoulder, right arm against the chest. Loop the other end of the band around your left hand. Start with your left arm almost bent to a 90-degree angle, with your left elbow tucked close to your body, and keep tension in the band. Press your left hand toward the floor until your left arm is fully extended. Release to start.

• Tricep Extensions: Sit or stand with a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your arms straight overhead, bend them at the elbows, and lower the dumbbells behind your head. Extend arms back straight overhead to the starting position and repeat.
