The smaller the Brussels sprout, the more tender and sweet it is (go for larger ones if you want a more cabbage-like flavor). Look for a vibrant green color and whole, intact sprouts without a lot of spots that are nice and firm. Once you get them home, store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Taking vitamin supplements will boost your energy level only if you are deficient in them. In particular, our bodies need B vitamins to release the energy in foods. The family of B vitamins includes B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B12 and folic acid.
Try including nuts, avocados, walnuts, flaxseeds, trout, herring, and salmon into a meal taken with vitamin D supplements. Cooking with vegetable, canola, olive, sunflower, soybean, or corn oil will also help you get the essential fats you need to give your supplements a boost in your system.
