Oooooh, That Beet-Apple-Carrot-Ginger Juice Packed A Punch…

Means I should have been making & drinking it more often. The natural nitrates in it open up the blood vessels and cause a short headache like nitro-glycerin tablets do.

You know all the healthy ways to benefit health problems. What is a good one for staying awake? I have dozed off a few times lately at my desk, due to mixed shifts. Coffee and tea don't seem to keep me awake?

@meggie Green tea in the morning does it for me. I have to be careful to not drink it after about 2-3 p.m. or I won’t be able to sleep till way after midnight.

@cherokeepatti right, I'm going to try that. One of my colleagues has 3 teabags and 4 sugars, and is still struggling. Thank you.

@meggie If you are making it yourself from scratch it needs something added to flavor it. I like lemon juice or lemon juice plus cardamom seeds. Also fresh mint, chai spices or cinnamon is good.
