Whether you are contending with a debilitating illness that causes fatigue such as Mitochondrial Disease or Neurofibromatosis or need more energy to manage your affairs, there are life hacks you can implement to increase your energy levels naturally. In fact, there are eight tips you can follow that are sure to help you feel at your best and allow you to have a clear mind so you can be more focused.
Control Stress
It is a fact that all of us will contend with stress. Stress is an unavoidable reality. However, too much stress can zap energy levels because high stress is known to negatively impact health. To make sure stress does not run you down and deplete your health, you need to look at your life and see where you can reduce stress.
You also need to schedule regular periods of relaxation each day so you can recover from any stress that has taken place and give your body time to recuperate. To relax, engage in meditation, do some activities you enjoy, or spend some time out in nature.
Get Decent Sleep
Decent-quality sleep is essential for making certain you maximize your energy. According to the National Sleep Foundation, it is recommended that adults receive between seven and nine hours of sleep each night.
In addition to making sure you get enough sleep; you need to make sure your bedtime schedule remains relatively the same on both weekdays and weekends.
To guarantee you have optimal sleep, make sure you establish a good bedtime routine so you can get yourself into relaxation mode.
Eat Nutritious Food
Good nutrition is another way to boost your energy levels. Make sure your meals are well balanced. Well-balanced meals contain complex carbs, protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
To ensure you remain energized throughout the entire day, it is a clever idea for you to eat every four hours. Consume three meals a day, and then eat small, nutritious snacks between each meal.
Avoid high-sugar foods because they will cause your insulin to spike, and then you will crash when the effects wear off. Only consume fresh or frozen whole foods.
In addition to consuming well-balanced meals, there are foods that you must include to boost your energy to the max. These are:
- Sesame seeds.
- Oatmeal.
- Yogurt.
- Lentils
- Hummus.
- Brown rice
- Avocados.
- Beans.
- Fish
- Sweet potatoes
- Cashews and other nuts
- Eggs
- Dates
- Pumpkin seeds
- Greens
Get Exercise
You may not think that getting exercise will increase your energy levels, and you may especially feel this way if you have a condition that causes fatigue. However, a comfortable level of exercise will increase your metabolism which will, in turn, increase your energy levels.
Even if the most exercise you can stand to do is 10 minutes a day, it is better than nothing. Establish a good exercise routine, and you will notice you have a bit more energy.
Decrease Your Workload
One way to zap your energy is to become overworked. When you carry a heavy load, you will find yourself crashing before the day is over.
Lightening your load will enable you to increase your energy because you will be able to make more time for relaxation, exercise, and good-quality sleep.
Use Caffeine When You Need It
Caffeine is another way to give you an energy boost when you need it. Having that morning cup of coffee can get you going, and it will also improve your ability to focus. Just make sure not to load your coffee down with lots of sugar as a tremendous amount of sugar can cause health problems to develop such as obesity and preventable diseases
Take Supplements
Natural supplements are excellent for improving energy and focus. Good supplements to consider are Chlorella, B12, Coenzyme Q10, Creatine, Magnesium, and Zinc. For the best effects, you must consume these supplements daily.
Socialize with Family and friends
Socializing is an effective way to improve your mental health. Being around people we love gives us purpose in life and curves depression. When you have good mental health, you will focus better and feel more energized. When depressed, however, you will feel run down which is why it is important to socialize with people you care about something you do regularly.
Closing Thought
While you may not notice too much of a difference at first, you will see your energy levels increase and your ability to focus improve if you follow all these tips consistently. Discipline and willpower are key. Before you know it, you will have the energy you never thought possible, and you will experience a higher level of mental clarity.
