10 Ways to Boost Your Energy Levels

10 Ways to Boost Your Energy Levels

A lot of things can make us constantly feel tired. 

Meeting deadlines, spending enough time with the family, sitting in traffic, and not getting enough sleep can add up and cause constant fatigue. 

It might be time for a bit of an energy boost. But HOW?

 

Here are 10 ways to boost your energy levels:

  1.  Increase Your Magnesium Intake

Eating a balanced diet can help ensure your vitamin and mineral needs are met. But if you still find yourself feeling tired the whole time, you might need some magnesium.

This mineral is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including breaking down glucose into energy. So when levels are even a little low, energy can drop.

The recommended daily intake of magnesium is around 300 milligrams for women and 350 milligrams for men. Make sure you’re getting enough:

      • Add a handful of almonds, hazelnuts or cashews to your daily diet.
      • Increase your intake of whole grains, particularly bran cereal.
      • Eat more fish, especially halibut.
  1.  Take a walk

While it may seem as if moving about when you feel exhausted is the quickest route to feeling more exhausted, the opposite is true. Increasing physical activity — particularly walking — increases energy.

  1.  Take a Power Nap

Research has shown that both information overload and pushing our brains too hard can zap energy. A 60-minute “power nap” can not only reverse the mind-numbing effects of information overload, it may also help us to better retain what we have learned.

  1.  Don’t Skip Breakfast – or Any Other Meal

People who eat breakfast report being in a better mood, and have more energy throughout the day.

Breaking the fast soon after rising supplies your body with a jolt of fuel that sets the tone for the whole day.

  1.  Reduce Stress and Deal With Anger

This may be easier said than done, but it needs to happen because stress is one of the biggest energy-drainers.

  1.  Drink More Water and Less Alcohol

You may already know that it’s easy to confuse signals of hunger with thirst (we think we need food when we really need water). But did you know that thirst can also masquerade as fatigue?

Sometimes, even slight dehydration can leave you feeling tired and lethargic.

The solution is simple: a tall, cool glass of water. This is particularly important to boost energy after exercise when your body is likely to be craving fluids.

Conversely, if you find yourself frequently fatigued even after a good night’s sleep, try cutting down on alcohol during the evening hours.

While alcohol initially helps you fall asleep, it also interferes with deep sleep, so you’re not getting the rest you think you are – even if you sleep a full eight hours.

By cutting down on alcohol before bedtime, you’ll get a better night’s rest, which is bound to result in more energy the next day. 

  1.  Eat More Whole Grains and Less Sugar

The key here is keeping blood sugar balanced so energy is constant.

When you’re eating a sweet food, you get a spike in blood sugar, which gives you an initial burst of energy. That is followed by a rapid drop in blood sugar, which in turn can leave you feeling very wiped out. Do that enough times a day, and by evening you’re feeling exhausted.

  1.  Have a Power Snack

Power snacking is more than just eating between meals. A treat that combines protein, a little fat and some fibre – like peanut butter on a whole-wheat cracker, or some yoghurt with a handful of nuts. The carbs offer a quick pick-me-up, the protein keeps your energy up, and the fat makes the energy last.

  1.  Make It a Latte

Pair a quick caffeine hit with the sustaining power of protein by having a low-fat latte instead of just a cup of coffee. (Very little or no sugar)

All that milk turns your java into a protein drink, which provides not only extra energy but extra calcium, which is good for your bones. Combine it with a hand full of almonds and the healthy fat will give you the energy you need.
