Burundi is a small land locked country in Central Africa.  It has been a poor country with not much industry and very little to export.  Growing a better quality of coffee may change the cysle of poverty.

Aribica coffee trees were introduced by the Belgians in the 1930's - but the grade of coffee was just very average.  then a civil war interrupted progress.  With the war over and with professional help from growing to marketing there is hope for a change.

Some natural ways to fight fatigue so you can get the rejuvenating sleep that you need.  The majority of people need seven to eight hours of sleep.  Persistent fatigue and going long periods of time without the proper amount of rest  has recently been proven detrimental to your overall health.  Lack of sleep can be a cause of obesity, stress and it does not do wonder for your complexion.

First, think about the amount of exercise that you get.  Moderate exercise is an energizer - this means twenty to sixty minutes three times a week or thirty minutes of walking every day is helpful.  Do not exercise within two hours of bedtime.

Over the counter medications can eventually cause sleeplessness.  That means melatonin and valium.  Blood pressure medication can cause you to stay awake as well as antidepressants and antihistamines.

Eat you main meal  earlier in the day and have a lighter snack if you are hugary later.  A larger breakfast is better than a large lunch.

B vitamins are great to raise up the energy level.  Some people can use a vitamin B12 shot for an energy boost.  B12 tablets work and are less costly.

Coenzyme Q-10 helps fight fatigue.  I maximize the hearts pumping efficiency.  Take 30 mg once or twice a day.

Ginseng tea, capsules or extract boosts energy.  Do not take with caffeine, since it may cause heart palpitations.

Fresh strawberries washed and sliced - add a bit of sugar.  Then use either unflavored gelatin or strawberry gelatin which you make according to the directions.

You beat the egg whites and mix in the mashed strawberries and whipped cream. Add the cooled down gelatin and pour into a ready pie crust.

A regular pie crust is great to use, or try a graham cracker crust for variety.  Crush the graham cracker and add a bit of melted butter - mix it up and pat it down in a pie plate.

The same can be done with vanilla wafers.  Place in the refrigerator for a while to cool and thicken.  For decoration squirt whipped cream around the edge and decorate the center with
sliced strawberries.  A delicious dessert.
