I’m currently taking the herbs St. John’s Wort, Passionflower, and Melatonin and wondering if it would be safe to start taking Acai Berry for energy and increased metabolism. Would this combination be safe?

Acai berry is safe, and completely useless. It is just a ******* fruit.

The jury is still out on passion flower, but any effects it may have would have to be very minor.

Melatonin is safe, and might help with very minor sleeping problems.

St John’s Wort is relatively safe, and has shown minor success in treating mild depression.

I would still ask an actual doctor and maybe a registered Dietitian before taking all that stuff

   Dietary changes:
   Small changes really add up. I cut cola out of my diet and it’s helped a lot.

   If you don’t have time to cook healthy meals buy a slow cooker. Chop up a bunch of veggies and some meat, throw it all in with some water and you have a healthy meal…but in a slow cooker you can get the food cut up and in the cooker in the morning and have it ready for dinner.

   Exercise:
   I walk my son to and from school so I’m making activity a part of my life, while the walk alone won’t drastically change me overnight the concept or idea of working fitness into your daily routine and can really help. Walk instead of taking a car/bus not only does it save you money on gas/bus fair but it’s a great way to squeeze in that extra bit of exercise.

   While you are studying take jumping jack breaks, not only does this incorporate exercise into your day but in increases the oxygen flow to your brain which keeps you more focused and helps you learn things easier.

   When you are reading class material try doing bicep curls, before long it will be second nature and you’ll be able to focus on the reading while squeezing in that extra bit of exercise. (just use some light weight dumbbells that can be stored in your desk/out of the way). You could also use a resistance band if you prefer.

   If you can wake up 20 minutes earlier try squeezing in the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. It is an interval training dvd and everyone I know has had results from using it, best of all each session is only 20 minutes long.

   Healthy supplements can increase the vitamins and anti-oxidents in your body and help your metabolism run faster.

   I hope these ideas help you, good luck =)
